| Dear Cheri: |
|
|
Bush's slime shoveling has assumed proportions of such immensity that I pray he loses Tuesday since I, for one, will be unable to look at him again without recalling the depths to which he has been lowered by his handlers -- Baker, Buchanan, Dornan, Robertson, Limbaugh, et alli.
|
|
|
Like his broken lipreading promise of 1988, less than sixty days ago he swore to remain out of the "sleaze business." His campaign of late is about nothing else.
|
|
| I watched the eastern elitist on a dais in Michigan frothing through his outlandish crooked smile about "Ozone Man." His arms were flailing at air and his beady little eyes tracked left to right and back again above the heads of screaming young neo-nazis waving BUSH/QUAYLE signs.
|
|
| "My dog Millie knows more about foreign policy than these two bozos," he spewed. He flashed another forced and misshaped grin, and commenced wildly chopping at the air around his head. "Ozone is way out, far out, man," our president said.
|
|
| Bush does better as a pond-scum peddler than when he has a go at a real issue. Then we get the old familiar tune: "Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent. Mr. and Mrs. America wouldn't understand. Zippadee-do-da. La-de-da. Not in the loop."
|
|
| Many political pundits who write for the nation's major newspapers have a tendency toward liberalism. Notable exceptions include William Saffire, George Will, and Cal Thomas. Even the conservative sort has been railing about the trash coming from the Bush camp. Abiding by the policy of New York Times columnists not to endorse candidates, Saffire, a Republican, nevertheless made it plain by inference he was going to vote for the Democrats. Then Saffire followed Quayle on Larry King's show this week, and told Larry that crimes were committed by high muckamucks of the Executive Branch in the Iran-contra fiasco.
|
|
| More liberal pundits have not been so lenient. Anthony Lewis of the N. Y. Times wrote, "Is there no level of falsehood that Bush hesitates to breach?" This about the President of the United States of America. Over and over I see the verb "lie" (the one synonymous with "prevaricate"), or some form or synonym of it, used to describe Bush or his campaign rhetoric. This is startling. It goes way beyond the expression of a political bent by liberal commentators. I do not recall such words used in connection with Gerald Ford's losing effort against Jimmy Carter.
|
|
| I get a queer, uneasy feeling in my gut and wonder about the size of the "loop" every time I hear Bush rant through his goofy, lipless smirk about trust and character. I feel uneasy because I voted for the guy in 1988, and would have again if the election had been held shortly after we massacred those poor slobs hunkered in scrapes in the desert with outdated guns we sold them.
|
|
| I realize the tone of this letter is harsh, and I shouldn't name-call. But hey, I'm not running for anything.
|
|
| Dragging a folded hanky across the sweaty space above his pie-hole, Bush's eyes brightened, and he said, "If those bozos get elected, Ozone will have us up to our necks in owls."
|
|
| Enough said, George.
