This just in...Virulent disease alert

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of sexually transmitted disease. This disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior. The disease is called Gonorrhea lectim (pronounced "gonna re-elect him").

Many victims have contracted it after having been screwed for the past 4 years, in spite of having taken measures to protect themselves from this especially troublesome disease. Cognitive sequelae of individuals infected with Gonorrhea lectim include, but are not limited to:

Anti-social personality disorder traits;
delusions of grandeur with a distinct messianic flavor;
chronic mangling of the English language;
extreme cognitive dissonance;
inability to incorporate new information;
pronounced xenophobia;
inability to accept responsibility for actions;
exceptional cowardice masked by acts of misplaced bravado;
uncontrolled facial smirking;
ignorance of geography and history;
tendencies toward creating evangelical theocracies; and,
a strong propensity for categorical, all-or nothing behavior.

The disease is sweeping Washington. Naturalists and epidemiologists are amazed and baffled that this malignant disease originated only a few years ago in a Texas Bush.

6. It's a amazing what can happen when a Bush and a Dick get together

Some lousy Rice and a weak Colin doesn't help much either.

7. May I

send this and selected comments to my political address book? You other postes have added so much I'd like to borrow from them too!

When a Dick and a Bush get together . . .

Too much!!!

[merh]

8. I cannot take credit for it - it was an email that I received!

Feel free to post where ever you like. You will find that the wit on DU is wonderful. There are so many quick minded, intelligent people posting here, that it is a pleasure just to read the varied threads.

Welcome to DU! :hi: and Enjoy!

9. Anybody know the copyright

rules on email stuff like this? Wouldn't want to publish something and have the original author come after me. At what point does it become public domain? What constitutes due diligence when trying to find the original source?

[Midlodemocrat]

10. I think once stuff like that starts floating around the internet

all bets are off. I personally received three copies of this same email, one to each email address. I don't think there is a problem with it.

[merh]

11. Sorry, I am clueless on that.

Wish I could be of more help. Just to let you know, there was no copyright notation on the email and/or warning not to reproduce.

[flamin lib]

12. Yeah, but

if someone along the line edited the copyright info it would still be a problem. Is there a forum or group that addresses this issue?

[Cleita]

14. I always understood that it was okay to

publish anything you received in an email, providing it was written by the person who sent it out, since it's become part of the public domain.

:shrug:

17. I believe I heard it on Randi Rhodes show last week

I believe it was a caller saying it as a joke. Not this complete of a delivery, but I distinctly recall the gonna-reelect-him part.

[Cleita]

13. Thanks for making me laugh.

:toast:

[merh]

16. happy to share!
