The Wages of Butt-Monkeyness

Long, long ago, from a keyboard no so very far, far away, we blogged about America's chief Butt-Monkey/National Security Advisor Stephen J Hadley.

We had hoped that our blog post would cause Mr. Hadley to rethink his butt-monkeyness and perhaps even seek redemption in the form of a very public Xander moment.

All Mr. Hadley would have had to have done to redeem himself in our eyes would have been to call a press conference and say something like Xander did when he was freed from Dracula's control :

Xander: "Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!"

Buffy: "Check. No more butt monkey."

That's it. We would have been happy with that. But now it looks like it's too late for Mr. Hadley. If the rumors we are hearing are correct, the butt-monkey is going to get paid by the end of this week. And as we all know, the wages of butt-monkeyness is Indictment.
