Approximately Perfect
So why the fuck does Congress spring into action when Rafael Palmeiro fails a drug test, but when the president lies to get a war, eh, not so much with the caring and the questions??
Congress to get Palmeiro's results, investigate perjury
Seriously, what the fucking hell is going on in this country? Remember Bush's steroid State of the Union speech?
How the shit has this issue been elevated to such a level that the federal government can't keep its paws off it?
MDS had a great catch the other day on the Palmeiro issue. Bush -- gasp -- tried to protect one of his political benefactors and allies:
Keep reading and you see that the president -- who in the past has insisted that steroid users must be banished from sports -- now says that Rafael Palmeiro should be believed when he said he never used steroids, despite a positive steroid test to the contrary:

"Rafael Palmeiro is a friend. He testified in public and I believe him," Bush said, referring to Palmeiro's denials under oath to a congressional committee on March 17. "He's the kind of person that's going to stand up in front of the klieg lights and say he didn't use steroids, and I believe him. Still do."
And here's what infuriates me about the mainstream media. I've read and heard Bush's quote a dozen times already, but no one has bothered to point out that Palmeiro and his homemaker wife donated $8,000 to Bush's 2004 campaign. That's a very important part of the story: Why aren't reporters asking him whether he's going to send back the eight grand? It was given to him by a steroid-fueled player. Doesn't that taint the donation?
In short:
Steroids = HOLY FUCKING SHIT, WE CAN'T HAVE BASEBALL PLAYERS ON STEROIDS!@!!!!
Illegal war = Huh? What about the steroids in baseball???
