Well put, Gail Collins:
Imagine what would happen if a new beetle infested the Iowa corn
crop during the first year of a McCain administration. On Monday, we
spray. On Tuesday, we firebomb. On Wednesday, the president marches
barefoot through the prairie in a show of support for Iowa farmers. On
Thursday, the White House reveals that Wiley Flum, a postal worker from
Willimantic, Conn., has been named the new beetle eradication czar.
McCain says that Flum had shown “the instincts of a maverick reformer”
in personally buying a box of roach motels and scattering them around
the post office locker room. “I can’t wait to introduce Wiley to those
beetles in Iowa,” the president adds.
On Friday, McCain announces he’s canceling the weekend until Congress makes the beetles go away.
Lol. INDEED! Taken right out of a David Kane standard line. Is that a Williams thing?
PTC!
