Live by the Sword Die by the Sword

AP Headline: Clinton Ahead; Giuliani, McCain Close

What in gods name? When can we stop biting into the absurdity of all campaign polling, not to mention polling that is done 18 months ahead of the election? Who effing cares who is "ahead"? It is so completely irrevelant at this place in the game. Frankly, getting hooked on the polling-crack now will just get us and every other pinhead in the US ramped up to focus on the wrong issues. AK and War Room can't we sidestep the MSM fluff of polling and start steering us and others away from those distractions? Please?

Dear Mr. Dennehey

It's not me, it's you. Sure I thought you were all that when I met you and you promised me the Rose Garden, but I've grown since then and you just don't understand the real me. Well, I've met a new man and he understands me like you never did. He doesn't embarrass me in front of other people with drunken claims I am so unstable and should sober up and be more honest and sensible. How can you possible understand sense or honesty when the world is on fire and I am the flame inside it.

But that was never enough for you. You wanted me to lose my friends. You told me George Bush and Karl Rove were not my friends. I now realize, after a wonderful evening with them over a long long glass of thorazine, that it was you with the issue. You just didn't want me to have friends.

Sure, George and Karl beat me like a senile mule back in South Carolina in 2000, but that was only because they loved me. You could never understand true love. True love hurts, Mr. Dennehey and we must suffer for our love. I know GWB and Mr. Karl, Mr. beautiful Karl, love me and only me. We only hurt the one's we love, Mr. Dennehey, and their love, is so great for all it's pain.

I know you'll never understand, how could you when you never truly understood me, and I just can't forgive you now for your

"Straight Talk Express" bus idea. You said "Serving the people whould show me to be true." But how can I be true to little people when they are not true to my own dreams. George and Karl, real men with real strong arms and buxom torsos were true to me, not you. They told me people were not to be trusted just used and exploited; same way they 'exploited me' as I succcombed to their warm heard blandishments.

I know you'll never understand, just as I can't quite understand why my true love George and Karl won't be their for me, but I guess one day soon when I am president I will understand the need to seduce and then ignore the people we, and only we who understand true love, can truly love.

On their suggestion I have hired Vince McMahon of WWE and Tonya Harding to run the rest of my campaign. They are very popular and trusted people, as George and Karl have assured me and the fact they have so much media exposure means they obviously know what they are doing. Sorry, my dear Dennehey, but you have never won a gold bet let alone competed in the Olympics. I need to be an Olympian. They know what that looks like, did you ever?

I know this will hurt you, especially the day of my inaguaral parade. Just don't look my dear Dennehy. We had wonderful times, but with someone like you and a man like me, it just wasn't meant to be. Just please take comfort in knowing that on that glorious day at least one of us will go to bed that night knowing this was the right decision.
