Much like the inauguration of our 40th President, Ronald Reagan, the inauguration of President George W. Bush on Saturday marked the end of a hostage crisis that has gripped the United States. But while Reagan's inception marked the end of the Iran hostage crisis, the beginning of the second Bush administration marks the finale of the period during which the American people have been held hostage by the ultra-liberal wing of the Democratic Party. Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh occasionally comments on being asked what he would talk about on his show without the Clinton administration to kick around, and similar questions have been posed to me over the last few weeks. My job as a conservative columnist is not complete until every person in America agrees with me, so as long as liberals still exist, I will still have plenty to write about. If the inauguration festivities of Saturday are any indication, it looks to be an amusing four years in conservative punditry.
Liberals are consistently more amusing when they are out of power.
But, when they no longer occupy positions of power, they take to the streets in the most hilarious displays of idiocy imaginable. When liberals take office, the politicians take over, and we get a more sublimated version the ideology. This is endlessly more amusing than anything that has happened in the past eight years. The confirmation hearings for Attorney General-designate John Ashcroft are likely indicative of the problems that will surround the Democrats for the next two to four years. Sen. Ted Kennedy leveled both barrels at Ashcroft in frustration, yet it appears his attacks will go unheard.
