"The King is a Fink"

The_Anchoress, "No, you can't see the numbers; the King is a Fink" (First Things, July 20, 2009):
So, the White House is not going to give us taxpayers a timely update on the nation’s money and employment situation....

They’re just gonna keep everyone in the dark until they muscle through his unpopular Healthcare legislation – that 1,000-page, unread, undebated document – that will push our deficit into unbearable territory, give the government unprecedented control over our lives and will quickly render healthcare in America unrecognizable, for must of us ...

Obamacare will also federally fund abortions in direct contrast to what the president seemed to tell the pope, mere weeks ago....

A president without checks and balances to rein him in or overrule him, with powerful minions answerable only to him, and with control of most information venues is a president who can decide he’s going to just do as he damn pleases, is an unprecedented sort of president.

... A president who can arbitrarily decide to take taxpayer money by the greedy mittsful, without at least giving them a receipt – why, that’s a president who is barely acting like the leader of a republic at all. That’s a president who is acting more and more like ... well ... kinda like king.

And as we all know, “The King is a Fink.”
