We're Soooo Overworked Here

So CIA head Porter Goss - in his job for about five minutes - is complaining about how hard he has to work; taking a cue from George Bush who reiterated "this is hard work" a few gazillion times during the campaign.

True. For Goss, used to a cushy Congressional life, having to show up at the office every week must be a pain. But likely more of an issue for him is that he wanted Negroponte's job and didn't get it.

But man, it's ironic to hear of soldiers working 18 hour shifts 7 days a week and of many Americans working two and three jobs to try not to lose their homes, while the Bush crowd keeps complaining of their hard work whenever they're not on vacation or partying at Rummy's house.

And while food kitchens are so busy they're turnng people away in record numbers, Laura Bush had to replace most of the "social and kitchen" staff because they're just not creating grand enough gold-plated food for King George. Yes, we pay for those cooks, that social staff, and all the pate foie gras Bush spreads on his toast along with peanut butter. The Bushies have decided to replace Georgie's silver spoon with a platinum one.
