"A Modest Proposal for an immodest Presidency"



Dear conservative writer/blogger/pundit-

As I'm sure you are aware, there is a growing view from those on the left, myself included, that President Bush has abused Presidential power and could very well be breaking the law in his actions, and defense, of such things as torture, detention, and surveillance of American citizens. You have been sent this letter because it was indicated that you support the President and his position on some, if not all, of these matters.

To emphasize my frustration at the seemingly-limitless extent many conservatives have supported Mr. Bush, I recently drew a political cartoon humorously questioning the reaction people would have if the President performed an act that was seemingly inexcusable: specifically, killing a kitten with a hammer.

However, while the cartoon was satirical in nature, I realized that in all honesty, I have no idea if this would be true. In fact, I and most others have no idea just how truly the average conservative thinker supports the President. If there is to be legitimate debate in this country, should the question not honestly be asked- would you, a conservative who supports the President and all his actions, still support him if he went as far as to kill a kitten with a hammer for no apparent reason? What if he killed several?

Therefore, I felt that this premise could be used as a template for an actual, concrete representation of the limit to which all Americans would oppose the unchecked actions of the Executive. Hence my humble request for your participation in the 2006 George W. Bush Dead Kitten Survey.

The survey will take a mere moment of your time, and consists of the following scenario:

I would like for you to imagine the President of the

JC General weighs in:


I don't quite understand why Mr. Pollack is asking conservatives if they'd continue to support Our Leader if he killed a series of kittens using a "standard carpenter's hammer, of steel construction with a rubber handle grip." Of course we would. We are patriots after all.

1. Are you kidding?

Kittens met with Mohammed Atta in Prague. Kittens were sending WMD's to Al Qaeda. KITTENS HATE AMERICA!

Ooooh, seethe...I'd sign up to kill kittens if I didn't have to finish business school first. Priorities, priorities.

3. I have it on excellent sources . . .

. . . that someone who knows someone who knows Saddam has a pet cat. Therefore the only patriotic thing for the pResident to do is to kill as many cats as he can. We should support him in this wholeheartedly. Anyone who doesn't want him killing cats, or any one who has ever petted a cat for that matter is an enemy of democracy and is an enemy of America!

9. Kitten manufacturing program related activities

Saddam has been keeping un-neutered cats, just waiting until he can start up his kittens of mass destruction programs again.

4. I luv how the good Dr. Rusty Shackleford couldn't answer a simple question

"I understood your original question, I just believe they do not operationalize the concepts you are trying to get at, that is all. Further, I don't "support" Bush's presidency because such a concept is impossible in off election years in my mind. It's why I don't pay attention to polling data."

:wow: :rofl:

6. If Stupid got filmed buggering a crying 5 year old boy

on the White House lawn, Freepers would burble for days about his demonstration of love for little children.

7. It's the same as something I've said recently

"Bush could eat live babies on tv, and Repugs would cheer"


Shackleford should be marked down as yes on question#1, and no on the question#2. That moron would not only cheer bush on, but he'd be hand bush the kittens.

8. I feel sorry for the kittens,

but I can understand why he would have to do it.

See? I have been exposed to Republicans lately. I can predict the answers. (I'm getting an ulcer.)
