Educating Mitch

We caught Mitch McConnell on CNN this morning here at Monkey Muck HQ and out of all the startlingly out of touch with reality statements he made, the one about him and the rest of the Congressmen and Senators from the Republican Party being seriously upset with the Iraqi government hit us the hardest. He said that he had no idea what their problem was and why the heck could they not get it together and do something to prove that they and their citizens were behind us in the war of terror in their country.

Please Mitch, let us here at Monkey Muck HQ educate you, okay?

Here we go Mitch, you pay attention and don't get distracted by any loud sounds or bright shiny colors while we teach you a thing or two.

Imagine, if you can Mitch, that a country is being led by a hateful dictator who was thoroughly despised at home and abroad.

Sorry Mitch, heh,heh, heh, we know you were thinking of this other guy:

Now, Mitch, imagine that the people in this country that is being led by a hated dictator have electricity 24 hours a day, plenty to eat, a relatively safe neighborhood, and as long as they abide by the laws then they are pretty much left alone.

You follow so far Mitch?

Now imagine that someone from across the world attacks that country based on lies, overthrows the dictator, installs a "democracy," and then proceeds to allow his buddies in big business to plunder and rape that country.

Now imagine that you are a citizen of that country and that you no longer have electricity, food, or access to decent medical care. Imagine, if you can, the anger and rage you would feel if you saw foreign corporations steal your country's assests and screw you out of rebuilding your own country. Imagine how you would feel when you saw private armies that are accountable to no one and yet who work along side the occupiers in keeping you and your counrtymen and women down.

Then imagine how you would feel if the occupiers got pissed at your legislature for not passing laws that rape you and your country. Imagine how you would feel if some pompus rich white asshole from the state that is known as pimple on the ass of the South, Kentucky, went on a Sunday morning TV show to bitch about how ungrateful you and your lawmakers were for not doing anythng and everything that the occupiers wanted them to do.

Now Mitch, imagine all that and then you maybe can figure out why the Iraqi people and their legislature don't ask, "How high?" when you and your President say, "Jump you damn ungrateful brown skinned bastards."

You know what Mitch, if you actually could imagine all that we bet this would be your reaction to what is going on in Iraq:
