A sequel scenario for "The Manchurian Candidate"?

Back to our ridiculously absurd (Welcome Dadaists) confabulation (If Word says it is a word and you still want to challenge it; we say: "Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls."): Some of the unwitting Democrats were put on the fast track to success and subjected to some extensive media fawning. They were given more "we really fear that guy" boosts.

The best was selected (by this point in history, the electronic voting machines were "in play") to become the Democratic Party nominee to play the rodeo clown who would divert America's attention away from the budget bloating effects of the invasion of Iraq, Osama bin Laden's miraculous escape from the trap in the Tora Bora mountains (which was just like a Three Stooges episode?), the 2004 election results in Ohio, the questions about Building 7, the convenient timing of the Spectrum 7 Energy Corp's stock deal with Harken Energy, and last, but certainly not least, the biggest blunder in 43's life when he traded Sammy Sosa. [Not to mention the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of Ronald (St.) Reagan's former costar, Bonzo.]

The backroom Swengalis aren't done with their fall guy yet. His greatest service to the Republican puppeteers is yet to be played. When the Republican majority in the House is sworn in next January, our hypothetical hero would (subjunctive mood for conspiracy theories) be called on to play the greatest victim role in the annals of American History.

What could be a better way to divert America's attention away from JEB Bush's campaign than the Impeachment Process? Our hero shut down the idea of a war crimes trial for Dubya. It worked so well in the past, why not make a sequel? Gees, do you have to be a Hollywood insider to know how well the sequel gambit works?

When the hapless fellow is accused of lying he'll have to deny it, even though all the personnel departments in the world expect honest applicants to admit that they have told lies. It's OK to tell lies, just don't take it to the level where the bogus information is supposed to be considered "true under penalty of perjury."

Like a rookie baseball player who is goaded into taking a lead off first that is one step beyond the point of no return, this hypothetical example fellow, unfortunately, has however inadvertently provided the Republicans with a bit of paperwork that will be terrible binary choice: either the fellow has committed perjury and should be impeached or he wasn't born in the USA, which disqualifies him for the office he holds.

Maybe an Impeachment Hearing would finally answer the nagging question: "Who would want to kill Dorothy Kilgallen and why would they want to do it?"

Some pundits will urge the fellow to resign before things get that bad. No way, Jose! The Republican psychologists are staking their professional reputations on their profiling abilities and are predicting that their guy will hold fast and challenge the Republicans to "bring it on!" He will challenge the legitimacy of the paper work.

BP graduated from college in the mid sixties (at the bottom of the class?) He told his draft board that Vietnam could be won without his participation. He is still appologizing for that mistake. He received his fist photo lesson from a future (more...)
