Promises, promises

Veteran reporter Helen Thomas has vowed to kill herself if Dick Cheney runs for president. How could we get so lucky?! I’d vote for Dick for that reason alone. Although frankly I think she’s finally realized she’s one of the ugliest human beings to walk the face of the earth, and this is her way of ending her misery AND blaming it on conservatives.

Unfortunately, it’s probably all just standard lib hyperbole. They like to make that sort of sweeping self-sacrificial threat, as though their lives or place of residence have any sort of bearing on our day-to-day existence. Remember the hordes of Hollyweirdos who swore they’d move out of the country if Bush was re-elected? And just how many of them did? Uh huh. Despite our fantasies of flocks of liberals swarming to Canada and the UK, I don’t recall hearing about shortages of mineral water in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. We did manage to lose Madonna though, so we’ve got that going for us.

What it comes down to is that even the idiot libs can grasp the idea that this is the greatest country in the world to live in, and they’re not willing to sacrifice the freedom they enjoy in the US for a little thing like personal belief. I’m sure at the time they were utterly convinced that their fans would race to the polls and elect Kerry just to prevent the mass exodus of their demi-gods, but I’ve noticed that none of them make that statement twice. The down side is that they’re all still here, hugging trees, killing babies, banning firearms and in general making nuisances of themselves

So I say go for it Helen … and take a couple friends with you.
