<blockquote>

Loose lips sink ships, Ed. And if Bush gets another four years, even you might be put in prison…think about it. We can make a deal: if you’re right, I will shave my head as a feature on your Oriental news hour—and if you’re wrong, we will shave your head on Crossfire…on Monday. We are too short on time to start whooping it up by spreading kinky rumors about popularity polls.

- Hunter S. Thompson, to Ted Turner, August 1993

Dear Sir,

Frankly, and with all due respect, you and your “committee” can get stuffed. for real and for good, because you seem to be essentially useless. Let nothing come in between us and the battle, right? Yeah, sure. Stuff yourselves into a bottle and have someone throw you out with the ebbing tide.

Your “committee,” Mr. Waxman, has served as windowdressing to some of the most humiliating Congressional embarrassments imaginable, to the worst kinds of brazen anti-American legislation ever written; every one of you had faced civil, legal, moral, and ethical dilemmas since acquiring majority power, and without fail, you have folded under pressure “From The President.”

It was put to me a few days ago, and bears repeating: we will all rue the day we failed to impeach the whole lot of these hyper-treasonous war-profiteers on the very first day the committee gavels changed hands in January of 2007.

Yes, yes, that whole mess isn’t part of your committee’s bailiwick.

Let’s see what is, shall we?
