A message ran across the bottom of the screen. It said: "A Message from the American Corporate Plutocracy."
...
"Do not misunderstand us, American subjects. John Edwards was no radical threat to the corporate system we have crafted in response to our need for spectacular wealth and your inability to construct a better social order. Edwards said repeatedly that be believed in what he called 'a market economy' - what we and you should understand as a heavily state-managed system of private profit and class rule."
...
"But that's all part of what makes Edwards' early defeat all the more delightful and rewarding for us. The magnificent march of our munificent reign has progressed so far that even John Edwards is defined as too radical to make a serious run at the White House."
...
"American subjects, we are certain you found this foolish issues and policy obsession as irritating as we did! As we hope you appreciate, we kindly cater to your limited capacities and sensibilities by framing elections around trivial and childish matters of candidate image, identity, and personality."
"We don't want you to tax your limited and overwrought minds with difficult matters of policy and governance. We want to help you vote for the right kind of politicians you find most likeable, pleasant and fun - kind of like the 'American Idol' show to which you shall momentarily be returned."
"As part of this mission, we employ an army of marketers, researchers, data-miners, publicists, and image consultants to help you understand which one of the presidential 'Idols' makes you feel best about yourselves and your glorious, business-run Nation State."
"We, the surviving four 'Idols' (now three) - Mitt, John (McCain that is), Hillary, and Barack - and the people around them (most of which we provide) will handle all the issues and the policies. We and they will give you all the 'hope' and 'change' and 'unity' you need."
...
"Yours in Eternal Thought Control,"
"The American Corporate Plutocracy"
