April 22, 2003 Creep by STEW ALBERT Republicans have big expensive plans giving legitimacy to Emperor George. They are going to nominate him right around September 11 in New York City. Dubya will be bouncing from the Convention to Ground Zero like a plastic peace of ping pong patriotism. The official campaign is starting late, the unofficial campaign is better, no spending limits. You could rebuild Baghdad with what they'll be spending on Dubya. The Corporations will kick in with idealistic generosity and be rewarded with billion buck contracts cosmic tax cuts and power positions in the Junta from Hell. Democratic opponents are portrayed as acting like effete fashion models who love lawyers and who look French. Their very candidacy is undermining troop morale. A second term around the Constitution by Dubya? Disease spreads quickly when there is no antidote. The Bush Empire lasting for a thousand years of greed? Stew Albert manages the Yippie Reading Room.
