A Letter to Dick, reprised

Just in case you missed it on the other Cheney thread... It seems Dick was named appropriately though.

Dear Dick,

Yes it is true, I was stung in my eye by this summer, it was painful and annoying and I had no idea what happened to the bee so I continued to swipe at my body to make sure he was gone, all while riding my bicycle, and still that wasn’t nearly as bad as listening to you try justify torture sometimes multiple times each week, and attempting to justify your own complicity in torture, and now you have the ball (yes just one) to claim that "the US has never lost its moral bearings". When are you going to slither away to join your slimy friends Dick? Dick, we the people broke up with you last November. We’ve moved on, gone on to our next boyfriend, actually we are dating an adult this time, we’ve sworn off frat boys and their ilk, but really this stalker thing you have going on with us is quite embarrassing. You promised you would return to Wyoming when we broke up and yet every time we turn around, there you are, like a never ending bad hair day.

So today Dick you took your stalker act to the Center for Security Policy. And OMG did they embarrass themselves when they gave you that award! But then Dick, you decided to jump out there one more time to defend your oh so barbaric methodologies and then to call Democrats names yet again. As usual you were on the warpath. You are attempting to defend your warped sense of the world. It is like you are trying to impress us with your toughness. But that smile on our face is an uncomfortable smile, one that wishes you would just go away. You are scaring us Dick because we wonder; what are your limits? Where does Dick draw the line? You use a legalistic mumbo jumbo; you trip over the words, you talk manically about “the memos” telling us over and over these simply outline what can legally be done to terrorists. You are almost out of breath trying to double talk all of us. It isn’t torture, you say, if you have legal justification. You sneer in that weird way, and you are beginning to scare the crap out of all of us!

Dick, can’t you see we are not really listening to you anymore. You know we have one eye on the TV and we hear your voice in the background, but your voice is just an annoying buzz, it doesn’t ever seem to go away, like an annoying ringing in ones ear. We are really beginning to despise your need to control us again. That is one of the reasons we broke up, we are tired of fear.

One last question you reiterate over and over again that if you had to do it all over again you would do exactly the same thing. Why? Why wouldn’t you change everything by reading the intel and listening to Richard Clarke? I can’t believe you would do the exact same thing, which is crazy! It is one of the reasons we broke up with you Dick, you don’t listen, you never listen! So don’t take this too hard, but we are breaking up, officially one last time. We just aren’t that into you anymore, in fact, you are now officially scaring the hell out of us. Please don’t contact us again or we will be forced to call the authorities and officially request a restraining order.

And one last question for you, did you use the Darth Vader line again? Seriously, isn’t funny anymore. It was funny the first couple of times, but it isn’t funny after 100 times.

I know you will say over and over again, you don’t care we’ve broken up, and just because we see you everywhere it doesn’t mean you are stalking us. We know you will say you are not trying to change history, not trying to justify anything you’ve done. Yet just between us Dick, we all know better.

Sincerely,

America!

Some of us

Contributed to the actual testing of the beta site and that is where Richard is getting the "mostly" positive statistics. He most certainly can't be writing about comments that only happened after he published his little info blurb.

it is so awesome

I've myself have an original copy of the Obama enemies list. As one of the latte sipping, vespa/bicycle driving, helmet wearing, evolution believing, liberals (libruls) from the left coast, I most certainly conspire daily with the white house and every other liberal in the country on how to identify enemies of our government. Our outfits make us hard to spot though as we insisted on only the best, so as to blend in with Sarah Palin and Cindy McCain. So we have elected to wear a David Meister ensemble with comfortable but classy Etienne Aigner shoes.

Our meetings are fun, and if you adjust the antenna on your aluminum hat you will hear all of us planning turning American into a mecca; a socialist, communist, Marxist, illegal alien loving police state.

Toodles!
