Ya know -- even for a Wingnut, that headline's a Real Stretch.

Don :

Stretch? Hell, it's a longer stretch than the Goodyear Factory! A longer stretch than 60-to-Life! A longer stretch than Highway One!

In all the other pages, we have to strive to be fair, balanced, and impartial. We're allowed to fail (and do, being subject to human frailty), but we're supposed to try.

On the Op-Ed pages, we can be as unreasonably partisan, and as unfair and satirical as we like.

For the record, I was poking some not-so-gentle-fun at the esteemed Senator Kerry's remarks about how 'Foreign Leaders' supported him, and at the BBC's directive that Saddam be referred to not as a 'Dictator' but as a 'Former leader'.

Secondary targets include two of my least-favourite millionaires, the loathsome George Galloway, and the Odious and Obese Michael Moore.

Kerry would no more support, nor welcome the support, of one of the great Mass Murderers of the 20th Century than I would support, or welcome the support, of ... I was going to say Michael Moore, but for all his faults, he hasn't caused a single death that I know of, though some who've watched his films might have prefered a swift death after the first hour.

Nonetheless, it is interesting to hear the similarities between Saddam's words and those of the more Rabid Anti-Bush Brigade, many of whom are Kerry supporters. Interesting, but not, I think, terribly significant, except as an embarressment to all the non-Moonbat anti-war people out there. The Moonbats. of course, think Saddam's a political prisoner of the NeoCon Jewish Bush regime, and would prefer to see Bush in the dock instead. And they're the people I was Lampooning.

Alan, I thought it was great, no explanations needed.

This man is really going out on the stump. I read a recent press release from his Office.

VOTE KERRY.

Before GWB stole the election, I was in full time employment. My prospects were excellent. I ran a thriving import and export business. With the support of many influential foreign clients I had been able to survive an earlier downturn in trading.

I was looking forward to handing on this wonderful family business to my two sons.

Now as a direct result of GWB and his insane policies both domestic and International, I find myself unemployed, I have had to cease trading on the International Markets, my sons will not be able to take over and carry on with my trade. Many of my friends and former associates have been forced to close their offices and are now obliged to trade from "No known adress".

You can only imagine the stres this has caused me.
I look forward to hanging out my shingle as soon as Kerry takes it in 04.


I remain.
Yours confusedly,



S. Hussein.
President of Iraq.

I'm sure Saddam is cursing the day he decided to partner with those back-stabbing Republicans! Those turn-coats gave him sooo much! The wind beneath his wings! The dual-use technology, the loan guarantees for weapons, and turning a blind-eye to the gassings.

I'm saddened that an illegal invasion based on false pretenses could come between such good friends.

;)

ok, ep2k

Sure, Elvis, anything you say.

The invasion wasn't illegal and the pretenses weren't false.

You can keep repeating that mantra, but it wont make it so.

Yes, stretch.

Sorta like the inevitable comparisons the Wingnut set make of anyone they don't like to Hitler. Goes on endlessly amongst those of little political knowledge or wit.

Content-free on its face.

(johnnymozart suspends his disbelief for a moment)

Yeah ,all those wingnuts like the German Socialist Left, Democratic Underground, MoveOn.org.........

Sauce. Goose. Gander.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

My goodness, what a fatuous little literary device that is......

JM- All those wingnuts including our good friends over at RN.us. For the record, Moveon.org never compaired Bush to hitler, and if you actually researched instead of spewing some right-wing bull, you'd know that.
