Another Sad Case

The boss asked me to fill the letters to the editor page this afternoon. I always enjoy that because it gives me a chancew to read lots and lots of letters to the editor that really ought to be written to our "ask the doctor" column. "Dear Doctor. I'm suffering from a hellacious case of Bush Derangement Syndrome. What ought I to do?"

Here's one off the top of the stack:

The recent London bombings can only be labeled as obscene and dastardly. Likewise for the 9/11 attacks, the Madrid bombings and all the other atrocities perpetrated by the insurgents, Taliban, Al Qaida or whatever you care to call the scum responsible.

And who is it that dared to open the Pandora’s box that triggered the formentation of all this evil? Namely that sanctimonious megamaniac working in the Oval office.

Ah, can you still cast your mind back to that happy golden age of humanity that came to such a crashing close on Jan. 20, 2000? Back when everyone lived in peace and harmony and bright-eyed young people of all races stood on hillsides in the dawn holding bottles of Coca-Cola, with flowers in their hair, singing songs together about peace and harmony.

Me neither. But our writer sure can.

Do we really want a demigog ...

[Sic!] Demigog. What's that, Magog's bastard son? Unfortunately, I had to change it. I would have loved to have printed it that way, but it's my job as an editor to prevent the public from knowing how ignorant the letter-writers truly are. Oh, he also wrote "9/22" instead of "9/11."

Do we really want a demigog who dreams that in one fell swoop he can democratize the entire world, many of whose nations have been ruled by dictators (cruel or otherwise) for years? He has proven that with his attack on Iraq based to a great part on the worldwide threat of WMDs, which ultimately didn’t exist, the “one fell swoop” theory doesn’t do the trick. And now that the sleeping beast has been awakened, he has the audacity to take on the insurmountable challenge of subduing all terrorists, whose motto, by the way, seems to be “where there’s a will, there’s a way” no matter what the cost in loss of military or civilian lives.

It’s about time that the American public put down their Big Macs, turned off their laptops and cell phones, got out of their SUVs and realized something has got to be done about this man and his sycophants.

By now, I’m sure it’s apparent that I’m not a big fan of George W. If he’d just wipe that silly smirk off his face. It’s about time that we realize that we’ve been hoodwinked long enough.

Again with the smirk. What is it with facial expressions?

I say his actions are grounds for impeachment if not removal from office.

Brilliant idea. Impeach him and remove him from office! Hit him with both barrels. Lol!
