One Bestseller - Comin' Up!
Edited on Fri Aug-15-08 11:36 PM by NanceGreggs
TO: Ms. Mary Matalin, Publisher

c/o Richard “Dick” Cheney’s Ass
Suite 303, Mezzanine Level
Washington, D.C.

Dear Ms Matalin:

After reading many excerpts from “An Obama Nation” by Jerome Corsi, I am writing to request that you consider publishing my upcoming book, tentatively titled “The Truth About Truth-Tellers & The Nit-Picking Fact-Mongers Who Are Out to Get Them”.

I am in possession of many interesting facts about Bush, Cheney, and other high-profile personalities active in today’s political arena.

While I don’t want to tip my hand, I will include a few examples of what I have compiled thus far, along with the unimpeachable sources for each fact stated:

Fact: Laura Welch was paid over one brazilion dollars to marry George W, and act as his “beard” while he pursued affairs with young (preferably bald) men.

Source: A former neighbor of mine, also named Welch, who is obviously in a position to know about such goings-on within her own family. She can be easily contacted at her residence, 101 Ocean Parkway or c/o Bellvue Hospital (address dependent on whether she is on or off her meds).

Fact: Dick Cheney once shot in a man in Texas just to watch him die.
Source: Preferring to simply be identified by the initials H.W. these days for obvious reasons, the victim miraculously survived this attempt on his life – but can be reached at an undisclosed location to verify his story.

Fact: Donald Rumsfeld is a secret cross-dresser, who can only achieve orgasm through masturbation while viewing photographs of Abu Ghraib torture victims and simultaneously eating chocolate.

Source: “Hellfire Helga”, who runs an S & M brothel on M Street in D.C., situated between an M&M’s factory on K Street and a Whips ‘R’ Us franchise on L Street, and obviously knows whereof she speaks.

FACT: Former AG John “Ash” Ashcroft is NOT one of us; he is an “artificial human”.

Source: Lieutenant Ellen L. Ripley, currently assigned to duty aboard the US Space Ship Nostromo.

FACT: Karl Rove regularly eats babies as part of a Satanic ritual.

Source: Gregor St. Clair, head waiter at Signatures Restaurant in DC, who has receipts showing that Rove consistently ordered baby spinach salad, new potatoes, very young veal, and devil’s food cake on a regular basis. (Rove’s ties to China, as evidenced by his prediliction for Peking Duck, have also not gone unnoticed.)

FACT: George H.W. Bush and Hermann Goering were on the same bowling team, and spent their time between strikes and spares plotting the downfall of the USA.

Source: Mac “The Whack” Wackowski, who has been panhandling at the corner of Broadway and 52nd Street since 1972, and can prove said allegations with three Crayolas, a Jon Nagy “Learn to Draw” kit, and an etch-a-sketch.

FACT: John McCain and Abe “Grandpa” Simpson are one and the same person.”

Source: In this case, multiple sources are available and obvious: both men have a get-off-my-lawn attitude, have never been photographed together, have never been known to have attended the same cocktail party simultaneously - and it is widely accepted as doubtful that either have slept with Cindy McCain since the early ‘eighties.

FACT: Bush & Cheney “best bud” Ken Lay was a lyin’, theivin’, lower than pond-scum crook.

Source: Ken Lay. Secondary source: A man going by the name of Len Kay, a reclusive international beach-bum with access to millions and no visible means of support.)

FACT: SOS Condi Rice is a high-priced hooker, whose demands for ever-escalating fees has led to chaos in world markets.

Source: Keith Bradsher (of the NYT, no less!), March 2008: “The price of Rice has almost doubled on international markets in the last three months. That has pinched the budgets of millions of poor Asians and raised fears of civil unrest.”

FACT: This Administration is firmly in-the-pocket of lobbyist money.

Source: Prisoner No. 74630280, aka “J.A.” Visiting hours from 1:00 p.m to 4:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays; known to have his tongue loosened by a $25 credit at the prison commissary towards the purchase of kosher snacks.

This, as they say, is just the tip of the iceberg. I am also knowlegable about real “facts” to do with voter suppression, Diebold, Blackwater, no-bid Halliburton contracts, etc. – but I am aware that you are not interested in such trivialities, substantiated or not.

I also realize that you don’t know me from Ann Coulter’s Adam’s Apple, and may be skeptical of my credentials. But being as I am a Democrat, perhaps you could ask your husband to vouch for me, as I understand he once had a tenuous relationship with my party.

Thanks in advance for your kind consideration of my literary work.

Breathlessly Awaiting Your Reply,
NanceGreggs

1. Love it! I particularly got a chuckle out of the basis for the Rice comment.
Boy, I think we could all send Mary one of those letters of request for publication. How about a BFEE book. Hopefully, plenty of those will come out after George leaves...IF he leaves.

Thanks for the laughs!

is actually the "Hamburgler"

Source: Much if his testimony in various hearings in the Senate which is on RECORD is "rubble rubble".

Just as Dave Thomas used his daughter Wendy for inspiration think about this: Has anyone ever seen Laura and the Ronald McDonald Clown together?

9. Make sure you include a few tidbits about corsi himself.
Edited on Sat Aug-16-08 02:13 AM by calimary
Like the one I heard here the other day - that he just might be some sort of necrophiliac pedophile who's anti-Israel and has been a closeted KKK member since he was ten - who also fucks pigs.

I'm just saying...

And I, too, can provide footnotes and links to back this up!

10. Speaking from someone who actually met Jon Nagy...
I can testify to the truthiness of this account.

My encounter with Mr. Nagy inspired me to grow a goatee (a VanDyke, to be precise), which evolved into my trademarked beard.


KnR, Nance.

16. Do you know how Elvis got so many gold records?
Especially in a time when not that many people really liked his music? RCA Records pressed a million records of his poorer albums and sent them to stores, saying they were "shipping gold." That's how this current anti-Obama book will be an automatic best-seller. They're not talking about how many of the books will be pulped and turned into grocery bags.

You should have asked this publisher to print two million of your book in the first printing.

for the LW foundations to buy a few million copies your book and resell them at 3/$1 so I can make sure to foist them upon all of my friends and family.

So do you get the residuals on the resales? If not, just give me an address and I'll mail you a farthing.

36. Woo Hoo!!
Nance,

You make the so-called "professionals" of the Korporate Media
look like low-brow amateurs.

In an ideal world, Jonah Goldberg would be a custodian at some ghetto
Junior high school, and YOU would be in his place,
carried in 100s of newspapers nationally each week.

NANCE,

I think YOU could do in print what RACHEL Maddow does on tv.

All you need is a break, and you could make it BIG.

38. Very well documented except for one horribly wrong "fact":
"Ellen L. Ripley, currently assigned to duty aboard the US Space Ship Nostromo."

Fact: The Nostromo was destroyed at the end of movie #1,Ripley died at the end of

movie #3 and was resurrected in movie #4 as a clone.Her current whereabouts are unknown.

Besides that little error I must admit that after double-checking everything else I

found no other mistake.Hey,nobody's perfect. :)

-Jeff

That has been the "standard" reply in my house when a question is asked, or a situation arises that no one has a ready answer to. Someone will just say, "Well, I say we take the shuttle and nuke the whole site from space. It's the only way to be sure."

GMTA!!!

Edited on Sat Aug-16-08 11:52 PM by DFW
Get Mary Matalin to engineer the sale of 500,000 copies to the RNC, who will distribute
it to anyone who will accept it, including those needing some kindling this winter due
to the high price of heating oil.

After the election, leftover copies, after purchasing another 500,000 to maintain it on the NYT
bestseller list, will be sent to Bangladesh, as a charitable contribution due to a severe shortage
of toilet paper in that country.

We know it'll work. She just used that exact formula with Corsi's "bestseller."

Don't bother sending a copy to Bush. You used words with over three syllables in them, which
to Bush might as well have been written in Bulgarian.

I know it's not a "charity", but I would be honoured if you donated to DU. This site has been "home" for so many of us, and a place for family to meet (even if we DO tend to squabble at the dinner table more nights than not!)

Thanks again for your kind words. :hi:
