Tom DeLay’s smiling mugshot, Rush Limpbaugh’s smiling mugshot; can two instances be a trend? So far Limpbaugh seems to have avoided the kind of consequences he advocates for other drug users while DeLay may be in bigger trouble, but the theater of denial has become the trained reflex and the trend is to Smile, lie and deny.
"There was no arrest.” Said the pie-faced prevaricator to the Palm Beach Post “There were no handcuffs. There was no perp walk. There is no charge."
Well yes and no, it counts as an arrest to the Palm Beach County jail supervisor Capt. Mark Chamberlain; fingerprints, mug shot and all. It’s going to take a lot of smiling, lying and raving about Liberals to make it not have happened. But if his long record of denying and walking away from offenses is good and he has a lot of help from his friends and I suspect that all too soon it never will have happened.
"The end result will be as if I had gone to court and won," he said on his radio show, even though having actually gone to court and won wouldn’t involve a $30,000 fine and forced drug testing and forced rehabilitation, but nothing means anything any more and the difference between arrest and a tour of the police station; the difference between winning and losing; the difference between truth and fiction is all a matter of “Semantics.”
Semantics; just like the difference between “nice going Rush, it was all political anyway” and “I hope you die from an overdose, choking on your own vomit, you lying bastard.”
And if anyone wants to take issue with that, let me remind you that I never said it, you never saw my lips move and you're a Liberal anyway.
