Dear Mr. Bush (Dubya)

Have
you ever had the experience of a leaky faucet? You know the kind, drip,
drip, drip, for days or weeks right before it all ruptures and there is
deluge of water. Now the drip, drip, drip is the warning that something
is wrong and needs to be fixed immediately, but some people just hope
to get by for awhile and put up with the drip, drip, drip until it's too
late.
You have a leaky faucet here George. Oh the ratings are still high and
it's all seemingly still working, but it's not, it's dripping.
First we had the election itself and proof you didn't win, but we let
that go by. Drip, drip, drip. Then the Energy Task Force, powered by the
Energy Czar, Cheney resulting in the horrific energy crisis in California
fueled by Enron (remember that name George) drip, drip, drip. Then tragedy
struck on 9/11 and we find out you and your people knew something and
we are too scared and worried to let ourselves extensively search for
what exactly you knew, drip, drip, drip. Enron collapsed and we have let
that quiet down, hardly thinking about what is going to happen to Andersen,
Enron, Wall Street, then Global Crossing, Tyco, Qwest, Halliburton and
it seems as no one at the top knows anything, drip, drip, drip.
You've created another Cabinet office to take care of the homeland security
that the $30 billion a year agencies (FBI, CIA) can't seem to manage.
Drip, drip, drip. Warnings, we have warnings, from John, (the Boob) Ashcroft
and with the warnings come further erosions of our civil liberties, drip,
drip, drip. It' s not just John, we have warnings from Dick ( I don't
know anything) Cheney, Paul (the hatchet man) Wolfowitz, Rummy Rumsfeld,
Ari (What lie is on the agenda today) Fleischer, Colin (Marginalized)
Powell, and Tom (What am I doing here) Ridge, drip, drip, drip.
Your Middle East policy is a terrifying joke, drip, drip, drip, DRIP!!!
Your agencies keep running into each other. Someone making pronouncements
and less than 24 hours later someone else denying them or repudiating
them. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip. The deluge is coming George. You had
better hope there isn't another terrorist attack on this country, because
America is finally going to hear and remember that the faucet has been
dripping for quite awhile, and you haven't even called in a competent
plumber yet.
We will eventually remember George that you weren't elected, "Kenny
Boy" was your friend, Cheney did business with Iraq and made millions
on Halliburton, that these were the people profiting from the California
"energy crisis" that you had been briefed about terrorism and
didn't warn us when we needed it, that your interests in Afghanistan is
Oil, that Your Attorney General is a scary idiot, your administration
is obsessive about secrets. We will remember that you can't work with
the rest of the world, you are allowing our environment to be destroyed,
and most of all George, we will remember that you sat in a classroom reading
a book about goats while the rest of us were frantically trying to keep
ourselves from drowning. Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, whoosh.
