Dear George and Donald

to the tune of “Bye Bye Blackbird”

The Democrats put on quite the show
Now it’s time for Rums to go
Bye bye Donald

You sure put up one helluva fight
Thank god, George, you saw the light
Bye bye Donald

I know how no one ever understood you
But you kept stepping in big piles of doo doo

You’ve made your bed, turn out the light
The new boy arrives late tonight

Donald, bye bye!

Dear George & Donald

“The Department of Defense announced today the death of a soldier who was supporting Operation Iraqi Freedom.”

Oh, is that how they word it?

That makes 2,781 since March 19, 2003.

One father’s response.

Good Enough

Listen George. Listen to Colin and John on this subject of interrogating and trying terror suspects.

Colin Powell was good enough to serve two tours of duty in Vietnam. He was good enough to be wounded and be awarded medals for valor both times.

Good enough to serve as your dad’s Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Good enough to oversee Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

And he was good enough to serve as your Secretary of State for four years.

John McCain was good enough to fly Navy jets in Vietnam and get shot down over North Vietnam in 1967.

Good enough to be held as a prisoner of war for five and a half years. Good enough to be interrogated. Good enough to be tortured. Good enough to be bayonetted. Good enough to be beaten until losing consciousness. Repeatedly.

Maybe. Just maybe now. Maybe Colin and John are good enough to get more than a sound bite’s worth of your ear, George.
