So I go to the mailbox to check for new porn mags (I’m a fan of cartoon errotica), and what do I find but an unsolicited letter from Teddy Kennedy, who wants me to know that “it’s time for a change.” Here’s a bit of his pitch — on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee — since helpfully annotated:
Dear Friend,
Yeah, right.
[…] The Bush Administration is leading the nation into a more and more perilous place.
Not a pond in Chappaquiddick, I hope.
It has broken faith with the American people, aided and abetted by a Congressional majority bent on pursuing ideology at any price, even at the price of distorting the truth.
“Aided and abetted,” Ted? That’s a bit fraught, isn’t it? Oh, and Mary Jo Kopechne.
On issue after issue, they have moved brazenly to impose their unacceptable agenda on America and the world.
Not unlike the Massachussetts Supreme Court. Or France…
They have pursued their goals at the expense of urgent national and human needs.
Wait, so a vote for Republicans is a vote for what, then? Foreign goats…?
America deserves better, and Election Day 2004 is our only realistic chance to get it.
Unlike, say, those other elections, wherein voters who pulled the Republican lever did so under the mistaken impression that a vote for the GOP would win them a lap dance from Ann Coulter…
That’s why I am asking you to please join me and many other concerned Americans by becoming part of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Your contribution of $250, $100, or even $35 will help elect a Democratic majority to the Senate in the November elections — now less than nine months away!
Wow. I hate to admit it, but $35 ain’t a bad price at all for a federal judge these days. I’ll take two…
By far, the most dire example of the Bush Administration’s reckless pursuit of its single-minded ideology is in foreign policy. In its arrogant disrespect for the United Nations and for people of other lands…
Uh, here’s an idea: fuck the United Nations. How on earth can anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty continue paying tribute to that miserable gaggle of preening, impotent dilettantes? I mean, haven’t you been paying attention? Oh, and if freeing people is “disrespectful” — and the more nuanced position is to keep them miserable while ostentatiously bemoaning their plight — well, then bring on Don Rickles…
…the Administration and the Republican Congress have squandered the immense goodwill that other nations so generously extended to our country after the terrorist attacks of September 11th. In doing so, they made America a less respected land.
Oh bullshit, Ted. I’m so sick of this repulsively condescending trope. Listen, if these other nations really meant it when they extended their good will, then the goodwill they extended was unconditional. If not, they can have it back, recycle it, and make it into fancy curtains, for all I care.
Now please, please take me off your mailing list. The postman is starting to give me funny looks.
Christ. That’s the last time I buy a Red Sox hat through a mail order catalog, I can tell you that much…
I think Ann Coulter would be more the type to demand WE perform the lap dances.
Well, she is kinda zesty…
So I take it, then, that you didn’t send Ted the 35 bucks?
In any event, you want to be on his mailing list. They have to pay for every letter they send you, after all….
That’s a good point. And yet I still really want him to take me off the list.
He bothers me that much.
Great giggle from the Chappaquiddick line- ooooh, viscously funny- something I quite admire. Must come by here again- soon.
Once, my mother (a registered Republican) received a Christmas card hand signed by Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter. In order to soothe him, she had it framed (signed side in) and he hung it in his office.
There are a couple nice fellows from Nigeria seeking pen pals. I can put in a good work for you. Nah. I’ll give them Teddy’s address instead.
Hmmm, I guess my comment would be better understood if I put in that my step-father was the Democrat in the family, so she was soothing his “pain” when she put it in the frame to be hung in his office.
There, that’s a bit better understood, yes?
Much better, Rae.
I thought there might have been something missing, but I wasn’t sure what exactly. So I filled in my own particulars. Makes for a really unusual narrative if you fill in the missing bits with, say, a rented monkey, or Yasser Arafat…
In the drawl and tenor of Ma Richards: Poor Ted…born with a silver swizel stick in his mouth!
As to bloated Ted’s simpering homage to the UN –I bet it’s as simple as the ability of “those miserable gaggle of preening, impotent dilettantes” to throw a damned decent happy hour…speaking of which…Cheers!
Yes, although, I want to hear your narrative version….The way I left it originally, one wonders just what was framed, signed side in, and hung in the office.
If foreign policy or diplomacy is war by other means as Clausewitz aptly stated, we could easily borrow Clemenceau’s wry observation and say, “Diplomacy is much too serious a matter to be entrusted to diplomats.”
Today, Iran and America are dancing to diplomacy’s intoxicating melodies. My preference would be a brace of pistols at 20 paces. Ajax v. Hector. Horatii v. Curiattii. Bush v. Ahmadinejad. Cast the die. Let Zeus hold aloft the scales of justice. Winner take all. “Heads you get nukes, Tails we kick the sh** outta you!” There is great beauty in simplicity.
The dance began long ago. Like Tolstoy’s Natasha going to her first ball, Condi is aglow and bejeweled for this courtly ritual; one can but hope that Putin doesn’t play the part of Anatoly, and bespoils her charms.
