Exposing the Foggy Bottom from the Third Rail

 

Last Letter from Camp Kennebunkport?

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, I’ll say it clear,
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain

Dear Poppi:

Just in case, I thought I’d spend one last week at Camp Kennebunkport.
Maybe I can catch that last undecided voter here in Maryland? Maybe the Astros have one last chance to get in the World Series?

Well, like the war on terror, I guess my electoral future is still “up in the air. “

But then, who cares about some stupid election exercise.

Dick says our October surprise will get us across the final hump. Fortunately, one of our campaign aides was able to intercept a letter from John Kerry to Monica Lewinsky, promising to appoint her as his Secretary of Health & Human Services. I had always thought that the Democrats would name her the first Secretary of White House Peace.

I’m beginning to know how you must have felt back in ’92 when you were getting ready for a huge thrashing by the Zipperman. We thought Elvis was down for the election count when Ashcroft found some more suggestive pictures in that Arkansas dumpster, but now he’s got a brand new heart (and hopefully a stronger zipper) and is back telling black folks that I’m distributing the ‘politics of fear.’

It’s about time them black folks feared me… my Christian friends sure do.

It’s just a week before God and some special agents in Florida will resurrect my career and keep the World Court lawyers with indictments at bay. Just because I invaded a silly little country with oil wells, people are up in arms! Can you imagine that? Even Pat Robertson is accusing me of being insensitive!

Well, once we get this dumb election out of the way, we’re going to make sure the world fears us. We’re going to add Iran to our Iraqi holdings (wouldn’t it be funny if we took their leaders hostage?) and then we’re going to make pre-emptive strikes at every socialist encampment from Sweden to the East Village. Even if the “gubernator” doesn’t cooperate in California, we’re going to burn down the Reichstag building in Sacramento and blame it on the Democrats!

Before you know it, this country will look more like Texas – with purple mountain Wal-Marts and amber waves of pork rinds. No more Boston Red Sox, we’re going to move them to Amarillo and learn them that justice west of the Pecos is worse than the curse of the Bambino.

Of course we’ll expand our base as we move in our big guns. First we’ll get the gay folks to support us by moving them into their own little private island, right where the Hanford Nuclear Dump is today. We’ll tell them that they can get married if they fulfill the 10-year-residency requirements – of course they’ll die of radiation poisoning before then.

Then we’ll turn Beserkeley into a commune for overgrown hippies and set off that nuclear device under the San Andreas fault. We’ll move the US Capitol out of the District of Columbia to Midland, and before long we’ll paint all the states in the Union red.

It’s a good thing I never mistakes, or I would never have figured this all out.

Your young ‘un,
Georgie
