The Mailbag -- Political Version

by SonDog

I have always been a fan of political humor. Lately I've come to the realization that I have many Republican friends, particularly from the Southern US states. As most people are pretty familiar with my political views, my friends (especially my dad) enjoy copying me on jokes aimed at the Democratic party. I must admit, I enjoy them as well. Here are three recent emails I've received that provide perfect blog fodder:

From C-lo: "Do you think they planned this?"


----

From MB: "I'd rather go hunting with Dick Cheney than driving with Ted Kennedy ."

----

And only because I just can't get enough of Republican martyrism:

From Ryan B: "Bush Fails to Prevent East Coast Blizzard" -- As President Bush and his staff cowered in the White House, the snow continued to pile up on the many poor victims who could not afford to get out of town or to safety in Florida. Crucial supplies of blankets, hot cocoa, popcorn and dark rum - so essential to surviving the stress of any major snowstorm - lay in stores undelivered.

Hearings into the Blizzards' effect on the poor are almost a certainty. Howard Dean has suggested he will call for an investigation once his new medications kick in and John Kerry took a break from the sporting activities of the glamorous super-rich in some exotic locale (random choice: Ice Sailing in Finland) to call for new legislation outlawing snowstorms. "The Republican Congress has dropped the ball once again. I have always been a staunch supporter of anti-snow legislation, except for certain locations where I ski. Snow has no business on our roads and the President and Congress knows that."

Calls for impeachment over "SnowGate" as some are calling it already are mounting as deeply as the snow itself, and what will be discovered underneath will prove to have a truly chilling effect on the Republicans, as the inevitable thaw proceeds. Or something like that.
