The political landscape in the U.S.A. has officially become the land of absurditics; The Politics of the Absurd.

The AP reports in its article, O'Donnell denies misuse of campaign money, that two federal prosecutors and two FBI agents in Delaware are investigating Christine O’Donnell for misuse of campaign funds. The article goes on to say:
The U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware has confirmed it is reviewing a complaint about O'Donnell's campaign spending made this year by a nonpartisan watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. But officials in the office and the FBI declined to say whether a criminal investigation was under way.
Am I alone in finding this not only hypocritical, considering the far more serious crimes in recent U.S. history that have been ignored, but also Orwellianly absurd? The greatest crimes, the greatest betrayals of what were supposedly America’s values, in our nation’s history have consistently been ignored in recent years, yet we find ourselves bickering over allegations such as those against Christine O’Donnell.
Christine O’Donnell is so insane that the prospect of her being involved directly in the U.S. Government is the stuff of a Michael Crichton or a Steven King horror novel, which her denials of witchcraft and Satanic involvement do nothing to alleviate. But her crimes, if they exist, seem so infinitesimally irrelevant compared to those that our government has refused to investigate, has refused to even acknowledge, as to make any consideration of her crimes by the current government not merely absurd, but completely antithetical to anything remotely related to the abstraction known as “justice” for which I once felt such reverence.
What little was left of that reverence that the Bush/Cheney regime did not destroy, the Obama/Pelosi/Reid regime is slowly choking to death. When these elected supposed “representatives” refuse to investigate and prosecute known international crimes against humanity committed by our own government, and then engage in an investigation over something like the O’Donnell allegations, I can only shake my head in confusion, and eventually conclude that any semblance of justice or sanity has left us.
Obama fought harder for the Bush tax cuts than he did for a healthcare bill with a “public option” and delivered his most passionate rebuke in addressing his own base for standing by their principles, many of whom then embraced him more fervently like an abused child favors an abusive parent, even as Obama further aligned himself with the Republicans who will do everything in their power to destroy him and all the rest of us regardless of his conciliatory gestures towards them. He has continued virtually every policy that the Bush/Cheney regime initiated, thereby becoming complicit in every crime they committed.
If this does not represent misuse of campaign funds, I can’t understand what would. With that in mind, it is not only that I cannot find concern about O’Donnell’s alleged misuse of campaign funds that were given to her freely by her supporters, but it is also that I find only disrespect, disgust, disdain, disillusion, derision, disparagement, dejection, despair and depression in response to virtually everything that has transpired in American “absurditics” since the year 2000. The alleged investigation of Christine O’Donnell’s alleged misuse of campaign funds is merely a drop in the bucket of corrupt absurditics that is currently strangling this country.

Not.
Yes, I agree. I want to know why Cheney/Haliburton execs aren't in jail? George Bush shamelessly pushing his book while people still die in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Criminals, all. The question is where are we going now?
It’s an ongoing media circus of freaks and clowns.
Janice,
Heh, my wife and I agree that clowns are just plain creepy. As for the unaccountability of the criminals in our government, they have made the concept of “rule of law” a joke as for where we are going now, nobody really knows for sure, I guess. We can, most of us, see that the present doesn’t bode well for the future.
Heh, trig, “nefariousities” --- good word. I agree, “No doubt she spent contributions 'improperly,’ [and] I'm sure the practice is not one bit unusual.” And compared to some of the things that go comletely ignored, such practices seem quite meaningless. “Rule of Law” is a meaningless joke at this point. Why do any of us even pay any attention to things like this anymore?
