Just when we were about to celebrate finally pulling the plug on Noam Chomsky the world seems to conspire to throw him a lifeline. I am talking about the apparent collapse of the US energy corporation Enron who, like just about every other major US corporation I should imagine, sought political influence by contributing to the Republican Party election campaign. Nothing new about this of course and it would come as a considerable surprise if the Enron suits didn’t shovel a fistful of dollars at a few Democrats just to hedge their bets
But you can already hear the rush of adrenalin in leftist veins at the prospect of tarring George Bush with the brush of financial scandal. The Brussels Broadcasting Corporation can barely conceal its glee as they report that Bush is in big trouble! Real big trouble! He’s deeply implicated. He’s trying to distance himself but the questions won’t go away. This is worse than Whitewater. Much worse! Will Bush survive??!!
But that’s nothing. The best is yet to come as the demented Chomskyites and disgruntled Democrats (or do I repeat myself?) start building their coalition for a major offensive. Expect lots of this kind of thing all over cyberspace:
Oh yeah, Bush and dirty big oil millionaire pals robbed a whole bunch of American seniors and kids and minorities so they could rig the election result and get their boy in the Whitehouse instead of Gore who was going to be the best President in the history of the whole world and then Bush and Ashcroft and his pals in the CIA got together with Mossad and the oil execs and the Contras to arrange the whole attack on the WTC so they could destroy all the financial records and try to make people forget that they stole the election and conned the American people and then they started this whole phoney racist war so they could distract attention from all the money that the CIA and Mossad were plundering to give to the Russian mafia so they could give a pipeline to General Noriega so he could lay it all over the bodies of dead Afghans to pump oil from Finland into Mexico to earn kickbacks for the FBI so they could run a dirty tricks campaign against Ralph Nader to stop him winning the next election and its all about dirty money and dirty Republicans and dirty oil and…..
Yawn
