Donald and Rex (Parody Dialogue)

Wednesday, October 4th, 2017

Parody Dialogue (I’m almost positive it never took place.)

TRUMP: You’re to hold an immediate press conference and announce that you NEVER called me a “moron.”

TILLERSON: “Never’s” a strong word.

TRUMP: And that of all 50 U.S. presidents, I’m the smartest.

TILLERSON: We’ve been through this before, sir: 50 states. 45 presidents. That’s why we call you “45.”

TRUMP: I know that!

TILLERSON: Anything else sir? Perhaps I should say you have a 180 IQ.

TRUMP: Good idea, but make it 200.

TILLERSON: I was being sarc…

TRUMP: In fact, make it an even 225.

TRUMP: (Turning to General Kelly) You see? Now THAT’S how you negotiate!

Rice Madness (Limerick)

Thursday, November 29th, 2012

Republican Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Kelly Ayotte have a seemingly irrational vendetta against U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, centering on Benghazi. What explains it? Well, Rachel Maddow has a fascinating theory, which Mark Karlin buys, as do I.

Here’s how the theory works:

1) Republicans are lusting after John Kerry’s Senate seat, eying it for soon-to-be ex-Senator Scott Brown.

2) Kerry and Rice are the only contenders for Secretary of State.

3) If Kerry gets State, he has to give up his seat, and Brown has a good shot at winning a special election to replace him.

4) Rice is standing in Kerry’s way, so she must be eliminated by the McCain/Graham/Ayotte trio.

In other words:

If Obama gives State to John Kerry
The GOP’s bound to be merry:
Scott Brown can then run
For John’s seat. Oh what fun!
This explains why they’ll Susan Rice bury.

Limerick Letter From George W. Bush To Rick Perry

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

You’ve probably heard that Rick Perry’s idiotic debate remarks, claiming Turkey is run by Islamic terrorists, led to a diplomatic incident. But did you know it inspired George W. Bush to send Rick Perry this limerick?

Limerick Letter From George W. Bush To Rick Perry
By Madeleine Begun Kane

Dear Rick, I’ve been meaning to write,
Cuz I watch you debate with delight.
And your Turkey faux pas:
What a laugh — Ha! Ha! Ha!
Thanks for making me look really bright!
