- F___ YOU, Dick!

- According to news reports Vice-President Dick Cheney claims that the
obscenity that he directed towards Senator Patrick Leahy was “long
overdue.” As everyone
knows by now it was just a couple of days ago on the Senate floor that
Cheney – perturbed at Leahy and others questioning his role in the
Haliburton shenanigans – told Leahy to “go fuck yourself.”
Cheney told Fox news that he “felt better” after uttering
the epithet. Following the
Vice-President’s logic, and me being a private citizen and all, I
want the chance to ask Mr. Cheney my own questions regarding his role
in Haliburton’s rape of the American taxpayer.
-
- Me –
Frank Pitz – Private Citizen:
-
- Dick, I
really need to know just how much money you are making through
Haliburton’s crooked business dealings?
-
- Mr. Cheney,
Do you have a private phone line to the corporate offices of
Haliburton through which you direct the rip off of the American
taxpayer – or do you just use e-mail for those dealings?
-
- Dear Mr.
Vice-President, Would you tell us citizens just how much blood money
– given 850 dead soldiers so far in Iraq – you would be
comfortable depositing in your various bank accounts; and, is there a
limit which – either death or accumulation of lucre – makes you
uncomfortable?
-
- I have a
plethora of questions I truly would like to ask you Mr. Cheney, as
well I have a lot of questions for that puppet George of yours but
then, if I have the two of you I just need to ask the questions once.
I have questions also for Donald Rumsfeld and that gang over in
the Pentagon, gosh what’s a private citizen to do?
-
- You know, I
just love the arrogance you guys exhibit I mean, it must be great to
just be able to tell any damn lie you please – as long as you please
– and then if anyone questions you can just say: “go fuck
yourself.”
-
- Really,
like isn’t that just the epitome of the old ‘Robber Baron’
mindset Dick; you know the old “hooray for me and fuck you.”
You guys there in Washington and your corporate pimps do it so
damn well, I mean you really hold the patent on it Dick.
What chance does a private citizen like myself stand against
such a united front of political and corporate malfeasance?
There is no getting around the fact that you and your crooked
bedfellows have a lock on all things political, corporate and moral.
Damn, such absolute power must be mind boggling Richard.
I’ll bet you have wet dreams on a nightly basis just thinking
about having a license to kill, and plunder.
Nothing in Wyoming to compare to this Mr. Vice-President, or is
there? Shooting ducks in a
barrel maybe?
-
- Now, just
being a private citizen Dick, and not having a hell of a lot to hold
onto since you guys came to town I tend to get a bit frustrated at my
lot in life. I’m hoping
that you might be able to understand that, though somehow being the
good corporate rapist that you are any understanding I might get from
you would be in the dictionary between “tough” and “shit.”
I haven’t all the high powered friends you have Mr.
Vice-President, I’m just a 66 year old guy here in South Florida
trying to make it like so many others.
-
-
- We are the
constituency that you and your friends keep dumping on and it is
really getting old Mr. Cheney. Just
like your corporate pimp friends, we also need a break.
We are not asking for millions in blood money, we are not
asking anyone to die for our sins – small as they may be – we are
not running hither and yon telling lies in order to wage war on
anyone. All we want is
access to decent and affordable medical care.
It would also be nice to have a prescription drug plan which is
affordable, and makes sense. A
suitable price for a gallon of gas would also be nice; it pains us to
be underwriting your good friends in Saudi Arabia.
Oh, while I’m thinking about it I (as well as others) would
like to know just how much you got from selling us all down the pike
during those oh so secret energy meetings you held?
Gosh, I just keep thinking of more and more things I want to
ask Dick, dealing with a crook of your caliber just brings out the
interrogator in me.
-
- I really
have to go now Mr. Vice-President, the more I think and write about
all this treachery generated by you and your corporate bedfellows on
the good citizens of this country, the more disconcerted I become.
Not unlike yourself Dick - being badgered by Patrick Leahy
until you reached the end of your patience and decorum - I find myself
in that same predicament. I
feel frustrated, helpless, and tormented by lies and thievery in our
government, all of which you are a part and parcel of Mr. Cheney.
I’m not a big, powerful person like you Mr. Vice-President,
and I don’t like to think of myself as arrogant, however I can cuss
like you sir. Citing your
example as related to Mr. Leahy sir, I have to tell you that what I am
about to direct towards you is “long overdue.”
Mr. Cheney, sir: go fuck yourself!
There, now I feel better after saying that.

- Peace
