An Appeal to the President
Frank J. at IMAO makes an appeal to the President, and I stand firmly behind him on this one.
"Considering the state of affairs in Iraq and our own country, I IMPLORE you, Mr. President, to punch Senator Hagel square in the face. My brother is currently risking his life in Iraq, and his sacrifice demands that you curl your hand into a fist and move it at great speed into Hagel's big fat mouth."
Thank you.
BTW: the good people at IMAO produce a weekly audio show (or "Podcast" for those who feel the need to associate the ubiquitous MP3 file with their personal iPod fetish) that's downloadable off their website, and also available as a Podcast on iTunes. It's a weekly half-hour of political comedy that's often well worth the time. It's the only Podcast I regularly listen to (besides George Bush's weekly radio address, which, frankly, can be rather dull, though it's always informative), and it gets better with each production. They're shamelessly casting about for new listeners, with Scott McCollum, the show's producer, threatening to can the effort unless Glenn Reynolds links to it, and pronto!
And he has the Absolute Moral Authority (tm) to make such a demand, as he sacrificed one of his own beloved puppies to the Great Blender.

So the solution to the mess in Iraq is to have George Bush punch Chuck Hagel in the face? Not a very helpful suggestion but one which I have come to expect from both sides of the political divide in America. I confess that I am hardly one to throw stones since I have my own history of unhelpful suggestions: promotion of a Nader/Buchanan ticket in 2004; bringing democracy to Iraq by giving Iraqis the vote in American elections; a mud wrestling matchup between Ann Coulter and Maureen Dowd (originally it featured Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson but I amended it to feature Dowd in order to give it political balance, and besides, Carlson is too much of a pussy). As for this business of the risk IMAO's brother is facing in Iraq... whatever happened to the cakewalk we were promised? the sweets and flowers? If, in light of the total screwup which Iraq has become, he had opted to go to Iraq anyways, then I have my nominee for this year's Darwin Awards.

I'd like to hear what George Dubya's weekly radio address would sound like if I produced it IMAO-style.
I bet lots of Homocon readers would like to hear a Homocon Podcast! I'll gladly help with that too.

I'd pay real money to see the Bush/Hagel bout. I can almost hear Don King now talking about the "splendiferous 'Belting on the Beltway'"...
