Billionaire Bubba, the Ungrateful
Well, my chickens, I must say that while I'm disappointed I am not in the least bit surprised. This is what happens when you let just anyone into a club like ours.

I was watching news coverage of former President Clinton's speech --well, it was actually just background noise as I waited for the business report -- when I heard him praising our pretty little part of the population:

"As soon as I got out and made money, I became part of the most important group in the world... It was amazing. I never thought I'd be so well cared for by the president and the Republicans in Congress."
Needless to say, I was suddenly attentive and all a-goggle -- could it be possible? This unctuous representative for all that's wrong with this country recognizing on which side his bread is so very abundantly buttered?

Of course not! He then proceeded to make some spurious connection between tax cuts and the burden on the poor and disparaging the work that our Beloved G.W. has done on our behalf, reaffirming my previous notion that he is, well, an unctuous representative for all that's wrong with this country.

Ungrateful. Shameful. And definitely un-Billionaire.
