And for my 1,000th post... "Dear Valerie"

[The Witch]

Hooray for me! 1,000 posts! WAHAHA! :bounce:

First of all, this thread needs your love... FEMA has a small (Alaska-sized) problem
not for me but for my friend.

Second of all, x-posted from The Last Midnight, my blog:

Dear Valerie,

Do you mind if I call you Valerie? You must be sick of hearing your various last names these days.

This is just a bit of a fan letter. You, my dear, are a tougher cookie than I. If my name were being attached to some huge government scandal, there's no way I could keep quiet about it.

But then again, I suppose keeping quiet is what you do for a living. In which case you are a true asset to your field.

Anyway. The point is to say thank you. Thank you for lending your name to us to bat around like a badminton birdie. Plamegate. The Plame affair. Dear Lord, you must feel like a bug in a bell jar.

But believe me when I tell you that in the end, we won't take your name in vain. Your name will become synonymous with the exposure of corruption, truth spoken to power, justice finally done. It will become the name of imperial hubris gone bad. "He had it all set up, but then he went and pulled a Plame, and now he's screwed." In short, madam, you will be the one name that brings powerful men to their knees. The one NOBODY messes with.

And if this is any sort of fan letter, I'd better also say thank you for serving our country. If you weren't such a dedicated public servant in the first place, there's no way this would have gone so far to help clean up the mess in Washington. In that way, you've served our country even more.

Hang in there. When all is said and done, you will be able to breathe again.

Sincerely,

a fan.

4. Great letter!

I've silently thanked her time and again for putting up with the daily exposure of her name/life. She doesn't deserve it.

Hopefully, she will be compensated for the grief the Neocons have brought upon her when this is all over. Wouldn't it be wonderful if she drained their hidden cache$ and left them penniless?

What evil people.

Go, Valerie!
