Saddam Shamed, Democrats Are Next

 

April 10, 2003

Dear Daddy
:

Hi Dad!
What an exciting month it’s been here at Camp Kennebunkport! I’ve got Saddam’s head here sitting on top of the big screen in the family residence. Laura isn’t too happy with it, though, says the scratches all over the head from when the statue hit the ground make it look really awful. We tried our best to make the statue crumble without too much damage. We even signed up some of those Taliban experts that have been out of work since they crushed those ancient Buddha statues. I was kind of getting tired of those sissy flowers anyway. I hope soon we can have Saddam’s REAL head sitting there!

Rommy let me ride around in his tank back in the woods here while we were watching the jubilant Iraqi people who are so happy to be rid of their tin-horn un-elected dictator who does nothing but screw his own people. But then, what they don’t know is that I’m just getting started with our 51st state! Hey, do you think Michael Dukakis had as much fun riding around in a tank as I’m having?
I remember you telling me all those stories about the trouble you used to have with that Democratic Congress! I was so happy when the people gave me the Republican Congress of your dreams last November! I thought the Congress and I could have so much fun raping and pillaging the national treasury to make sure that America could forget how to spell “entitlemint” or “entlement” or whatever… After all, if all of the govinmint’s money is hidden in country clubs where it belongs, there won’t be a spare nickel for some welfare cheat to get a blood transfusion, or some superfluous infant to grow up into a welfare cheat.
But something weird has happened while Dick let me play in the situation room. I got this BOUNCE notice in the mail from the 108th Congress. Can you believe it, my VERY OWN REPUBLICAN CONGRESS! These suckers sent my tax cut request back marked INSUFFICIENT FUNDS! Not only that, they charged me $22 for bouncing my proposal!
What’s next?
Are they going to bounce my travel expenses to go to Ireland to visit my friend Tony? It’s a good thing that Tony is part of the coalition of the willing… you might think that Congress would be a member of the coalition as well. Dammit, they got to spend $5 billion to change all those signs in the cafeteria from “French fries” to “freedom fries” without a blinkin’ “ooh-lah-lah” and they won’t let me help my needy friends. Good grief, it’s going to cost big Dick at least $5 billion to settle all that broo-ha-ha about that Halliburton business in Iraq!
Maybe I was wrong in focusing on Saddam all this time. Perhaps we can get Saddam and Osama back on our side where they began. I bet they’re hiding together in some cave near Syria right now. We’ve still got a supply of ammunition left over from that plan B outline where we were going to stake out every donut shop in Baghdad in wait for Saddam.
We could have a chat with Saddam and Osama and convince them that it was Congress who ordered the destruction of their country. We might even give them some incentive like funding a campaign for them to oppose Chaffee in Rhode Island and Snow in Maine.
Then again, they may be more interested in knowing where the vegetable oil is for the freedom fries….
Your son,

Georgie
