  Please press for Richard Perle’s complete resignation from the Defense Policy Board.  Having him resign as chairman is a slap on the wrists.  He should be off the Board completely.

  If Perle were a Democrat, he would have been immediately tarred and feathered and the President would be facing relentless and numerous Congressional hearings.  Perle is just one more of the corrupt Americans who have managed to get into leadership positions—and who are using these positions for their own gain.  He should be forced to resign from all government positions.

  Hey, what’s the problem here?  How’s a guy supposed to earn a buck these days? Rush told me that those Iraqis are subhuman and don’t feel pain like real people, so what’s the big deal?  A few less camel jockeys and a fatter bank account - sounds like a winning combo to me!  Just wait til you see the tactical nuking I got in mind for Kim Il Jong, baby! We’ll nuke ‘em til they glow and then shoot ‘em in the dark.  Dubya will like that line….
  [I just wish he would stop calling me those cute nicknames, like “Pearly White”. Gr-r-r-r]

  Dick, you are so inspiring!
  Anyone who disagrees with you is obviously a crypto-terrorist and in bed with Osama, Saddam, and any other hummus-eater who dares to rear his Saracen head above the ruins of his former home.
  Hey, wanna get together this evening for some goose-stepping? Don’t forget your jackboots and riding crop this time!
