I want to go to Bush's 20 million $ Iraq-war party...
Jack Cafferty explained tonight that the Republicans are planning a big bash. Twenty millions dollars is being spent on a lavish party--to celebrate victory in Iraq.

Jack was not happy about this. Neither am I. Most of the letters to Jack were
people who were infuriated and disgusted.

I pledge this, right here, right now:

If the Republicans throw a $20 million festival of insanity with tax-payer money, I will
be in Washington, DC that day protesting this unAmerican, disrespectful, insensitive sham.
I will dress up as a flag-draped coffin and carry a sign that says, "How can you celebrate
my death?"

I've had it with these perverse band of renegade thugs and their revolting actions.

I will be there for this party and I will peacefully protest their absurdity, their
glaring self absorption and their unAmerican, sick state of oblivion.

Anyone want to join me?

6. That is an excellent idea...

If the Republicans are going to be THIS absurd--then we can be just as outrageous and boisterous.

I love your idea of wearing a flight suit and a "Mission Accomplished" banner.

I think everyone should come as their favorite "bushism". People could dress as the missing WMD.
It wouldn't be difficult to make an aluminum tube costume. Someone could fashion a mobile weapons lab out of a cardboard box. With dry ice, someone could make a "mushroom cloud".

People could carry big banners that scream out all of the BushCo lies and inane comments. Can't you imagine a glimmering sea of "We're making progress!"..."We're turning a corner!"..."The insurgency is in its last throes!", "We'll be greeted as liberators!"..."Of course we know where the WMD is...they're in the North, South, East, and West!"..."The insurgency is just a few dead enders!".

Of course, many people would be dressed as commas!

The possibilities are endless.

2. I'll be there. Could anything be more cynical or revolting?
Heard on Steph Miller this a.m., and she made the comment that the party would probably not happen for a very long time.

5. You're not missing anything...
...but your senses have just been assaulted by BushCo absurdity.

Yep. BushCo and the Republicans have declared Iraq a huge success. And they're throwing a party to honor how great the Iraq war is. A $20 million party.

As a taxpaying citizen who is footing the bill for this absurd and sad display--I think I am entitled to at least one shrimp cocktail, don't you?

Let's all go. We'll turn it into a costume party.
