QUIT treating the SYMPTOMS---We have a CURE!
There is a hideous cancer running rampant throughout Washington D.C. that threatens to kill our freedom (not to mention our troops and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians). The disease is called Cheneyocockus Bushonoma.

The symptoms of this deadly cancer include, but are not limited to:

Stealing elections
Wars of aggression
War profiteering
Corporate Fraud sanctioned by the government
Lying to create wars of agression
Warrantless Wiretapping
Torture of prisoners
The Suspension of Habeas Corpus

Now, mind you, these are some serious symptoms, and we need to make sure that these symptoms go away.

But, the problem is...those who have the vaccine that cures the disease and makes the symptoms disappear, are NOT using the vaccine, but are choosing to attempt to treat only the symptoms. The disease, itself, goes merrily on infecting more and more victims.

The doctors trying to treat these symptoms are well-meaning Democratic Congresspersons and Senators. They are holding hearings, trying to figure out how best to treat the symptoms. Some are even offering bills to outlaw the symptoms. THEY FORGET, HOWEVER, that the symptoms ARE ALREADY OUTLAWED!

What is the damned point in introducing another bill making torture illegal? TORTURE IS ALREADY ILLEGAL. What is the point in passing a law giving citizens habeas corpus rights? WE ALREADY HAVE THOSE RIGHTS, outlined in the Constitution.

And, even if such legislation reaches the desk of the person who is the cause of this cacner...and even if he signs it...the disease will simply cause him to IGNORE the law with another SIGNING STATEMENT.

My Democratic friends, I submit to you that we can rid ourselves of all of the symptoms above in one fell swoop. We have a vaccine that will cure the cancer and put and end to the symptoms that make us miserable and weak. This vaccine is a Constitutional remedy called:

IMPEACHMENT & REMOVAL FROM OFFICE!!

Radiation and chemotherapy have not put the cancer in remission. The ONLY HOPE is surgical removal of the cancer. THIS IS THE CORRECT COURSE OF TREATMENT. Two more years of treating the symptoms only serves to make matters worse.

I'll say it again....THERE IS A DEADLY CANCER threatening to kill our nation. WE MUST CONSTITUTIONALLY REMOVE IT if we hope to survive!

IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY!!! DO IT NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!!!!!

1. I like your metaphore
Very well written. Unfortunately, your argument falls on the fact that it is unlikely to actually be implemented.

5. But Dr. Bill Frist has diagnosed this from a remote location
He says the symptoms are good, and we all know what a good diagnostician he is.
I do like the name you have given this disease.

6. I put off having my uterus removed for 20 years
meanwhile enduring monthly (daily) pain and worse. I was afraid of major surgery. Who isn't?


Now that I've had it done I am so happy and pain free. But it took courage. And coordination. And a lot of financial resources.I had to hit rock bottom. Even though EVERYONE knew it was the right thing to do.
