An open letter to Clinton and Schumer about that Bolton thing.
Hi there Chuck. Hi Hil.

How you two doing these days? Kinda beleaguered, huh? Damned if you do and damned if you don't. You're right up there in good ol' New York. Home to more Jewish people than all of Israel. But you know, there's a pretty sizable Arab population up your way, too. Yup. Damned if ya do and damned if ya don't.

Well, here's something to chew on. That Bolton guy was bad when Bush pulled his fast one and he's wrong now. It has nothing to do with Israel, really. John Bolton is bad for oh so much more. Do you remember that little riot in Florida, when they were trying to find out who really won the presidency? John was involved in that up to his funny mustache.

He's also a big deal guy in that PNAC thing. You know the group? The ones who duped us into Iraq? And now want to bomb the foo out of Iran and Syria? The ones who want to control all the oil in the world at the cost of the lives of our kids? You two have kids, don't you?

tell ya what. Use some of those brazillians of bucks you two have between you and start a PR campaign to promote the name of the person who would be far, far better for the UN gig than Walrus Face. Surely you can find a person who knows the Middle East, is a competent diplomat, who respects BOTH sides of an issue.

Don't pander. Be honest. You know damned well everyone wants a serious effort at peace. not more killing and then a cease fire and then more war. I'm talking real peace, here. Find that candidate and promote the hell of him/her. Right there in NEw York. A big media buy on WCBS, WNBC, WABC, WOR .... you know .... all the local teevee outlets.

Try it. It might save you from pissing off one group or another. be smart.

Just this once.

Okay?

Thanks!

Your friend,
Stinky

1. Nah- that money is for themselves.
Much easier just to go along with Bush/media PR, as always.

Are you really suggesting that they be aggressive & creative? Getting their nails dirty in a PR fight with Bush/media? When the pro-Bolton perceptions are already in place? Gosh- that sounds like work or something.

Great idea, but unlikely.

2. I know the perfect replacement
for John Bolton. How about Joe Wilson (or maybe his wife).

5. I, for one, happen to consider Stinky the Clown an indefectible source.

7. "indefectible"
I like that. I admit to having to look it up. But I like it and I learned a new word.
