We have seen so much of it in these past few years. With NY Governor Elliot Spitzer and his previous outspoken campaigns against prostitution while later being found to spend huge money on his own call girl exploits. We have watched Bernie Madoff, who was the previous non-executive chairman of the NASDAQ exchange bilk $65 Billion from investors by taking money and NOT ever investing it in the stock market and telling people of his amazing trading results. We experienced Dick Cheney campaign hard against gay and lesbian rights while his own daughter is known to be lesbian. We now seen Senator Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, campaign against President Obama and any health reform by a “grass” roots effort to educate people of his explained government desire to rule end of life issues by calling them Death Boards while he voted for just that in 2003.

The Irony…

This all continues as we watch daily of the political machine that has run our failed wars against drugs, poverty, education, terror, et al, reminds me of the epic speech that Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando) has in the movie “Apocalypse Now” as Captain Willard (Martin Sheen) is directed to penetrate the neutral Cambodia to kill Kurtz because he has gone rogue and is killing people…this order comes from intelligence officers (what a contradiction) while our own government is known to be doing just the same…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGosYIlXdmU

The horror…

In the movie Citizen Cane, with Orson Wells we watch the ruthless pursuit of power likened to the Hearst publishing icon and in this film his dying word “Rosebud”…another must see for your blog fans to tie it all together…
