Kenneth T. Tellis: "America's Whackos of Mass Distraction"

VHeadline commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: …… and now ladies and gentlemen I give you America's newest program: 'Whackos of Mass Distraction,' the zaniest comedy show you'll ever see straight from the entertainment capital of the world Hollywood, USA.

We will begin with Crazy George directly from the White House.

This story begins with Crazy George who also gave you the WMD's that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein never possessed, and then backed it with some more of his own home-spun Fairy Tales, which he then forced other to repeat verbatim.

Then there is Insane John McCain of Hanoi Hilton fame, who imagined that while he was a prisoner-of-war in Vietnam he was being tortured by Cuban's, when the Cuban Army was not even involved in the Vietnam War. So, Insane McCain must have dreamed it up, during one of his bouts of unreality.

Finally we have a Fairy Tale by U.S. Democratic Presidential Candidate one Hilarity Rodham Clinton's assertion that her plane landed in Bosnia under sporadic sniper fire, which was something that she had dreamed-up to get more mileage for her election campaign.

With all these Whackos running around loose in the U.S. no wonder there is no room left for sane politicians to enter the fray.

Perhaps that is why the U.S. is going down the drain so fast.

In Rome Nero was mad, in Nazi Germany Adolf Hitler was insane ... and in the Soviet Union Josef Stalin was a maniac ... now I guess its America's turn to have a lunatic run the show.

So, the show must go on, and the world be damned if they care one whit about it.
