What Is A Politician?

I just received a very interesting email from a friend and thought I would pass it along for your entertainment:

The subject said "What is a Politician?", and then goes on to answer that question thusly:

So what is a politician?

'That’s a very good question. I'd like to thank you for asking me it. Well done, Let me reply by first stressing the need to consider that question in real terms. That is to say terms that physically exist. As opposed to imaginary, or 'rainbow, mushroom pixe terms'. Or other similar methods such as 'happy gnome logic', which we don’t entirely support at this time in our current topsey turvy nonsense legislation.However I think that on the balance of probabilities, and from a foreward thinking , multifaceted, pro-intergrational poly-lateral perspective, if we can regenergrate that particlar 'vocabulary' structure which you just metioned. On a stricly voluntary basis and using a foreward thinking person to person, me to you perspective. I think its quasi-certain, that movement on this subject could very well be retroactivly multi-achived. Not at this time, another time say in the next ten or twenty years, decades, or in the life of the next two or ten parliaments. And in some ways I think it's double-plus-good or even triple-plus-great that in a democracy people are allowed to raise questions such as this and have an answer given. Not necessarily a the type of answer they were expecting, or wanted not an answer in a convetional or ultra-literal sense. That would be quasi-bad-crimethink, and ultra-paxman scary. And that’s just not accepatble because no one wants psycho-knife consequences to quasi-bad crimethink do they?

Yes very interesting, but what is a Politician?

Again that’s a very interesting question, and there are nine points I should like to make in answer to it. Firstly to reiterate my semi-previous statement, in a contempory framework on a here and now basis. Exercising an us and them differentiation. And in a very real sense. Utilising a dynamic verbal communication interface. I think from a pro-certain stance. We can surly on a conversational level, come to a finalistically inclined conclusion on this particular point of reference, which you have drawn to my attention. I think a long- term UN backed; solution is the most viable answer to this particular commitment. Where by undertaking in consultation with other ministers, in gradual stages via a predetermined roadmap, and navigating with our moral compass we could more significantly towards resolving this question. In time I see no reason why we would be unable to come to a politically palatable, ingestion free conclusion. Which would not inappropriately vomit unplesantries on the face of credibility. I think fundamentally the points you have raised are interesting in the same way as crushing an insect is interesting, they are repulsive yet strangely fascinating. I think that perhaps in one way, but not too many ways that, this question is not the most important that we could answer. And that what we actually need to ask-ourselves is how is economy? Is it dead or just maimed? Well I can tell you now that I’ve seen its obituary, and we all know who killed it. Tories. But is it enough to stand chattering over it’s corpse, or should we get out the spades and bury it? And I think it’s important to remember that only a government free from crime-think, sex wrong and money-gloat. Can realistically on a national and international level contemplate answering such a controversial and upsetting question.

Thats all very well, But what is a Politician?

Will if you'll allow me to return to the issue at hand , immigration, I'm all for it. As long as it's carried out in the right circumstances, on a non-existant basis. As long as the immigrants all come from the same country as we do. I have no problem with it. I mean do we really want foreigners and their strange diseases, to be callously placed in very real proximity to actual people? Is that what we want? Our traditional British diseases like typhoid, and tuberculosis, swamped by cheap foreign imports like, daigo fever and gespatcho stomach. And how do we know these immigrants are human like us? After all they’ve lived abroad. Who knows what sort of warped and twisted morality operates there. On the other hand they might be perfectly nice ‘people’. However can we be sure they don’t lack any sense of conscience or empathy, beyond the sort of contempt, a ravenous vulture might show to a corpse. The answer is we can’t, and I in a far reaching sense don’t want to wait until we find out.

But what in God's name is a Politician!

Well I think from a religious perspective, there is of course a great deal of very real difference in opinion on this particular type of matter which is in this current time part of the complex social framework of this nation. And I think we all realise that these sort of questions may look innocent, but so do cute fluffy mice, and they carried the plague.

Oh to hell with this I'll go somewhere else...

Funny? I don't know! True? Maybe!!

Have A Great Wednesday!! :)

Pardon Libby

In a stroke of injustice I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was sentenced to 30 months in prison for lying and obstructing the Central Intelligence Investigation into who leaked the name of Valerie Plame an intelligence agent to the press.
There are many Libby supporters who have written President Bush and asked him to pardon him before he must enter prison. President Bush ducked questions about whether or not he would pardon Mr. Libby.
Mr. Libby was Vice-President Dick Cheney's, chief of staff and is the highest ranking White House official to be sentenced to prison since the Iran-Contra affair in the Reagan administration in the 1980's.
The President said their is a process that needs to run its' course before he could make any decisions about a pardon.
Libby's attorney's are going to ask that he be allowed to remain free while his appeals are exhausted. The Special Prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, is going to oppose the request.
First President Bush should pardon Mr. Libby, because it was then Deputy-Secretary of State, Richard Armitage who released Mrs. Plames name to the press. Second the Special "Persecutor" law should be repealed as it nothing more than a stick to beat an administration over the head with when the "loyal" opposition has a policy dispute with the governing party. They wasted the government's time and money when they used it against former President Bill Clinton and it is being used against the Bush adminsitration, as Mr. Libby is being used as a poster child for all that has gone wrong in Iraq.
Mr. Fitzgerald says this proves that truth matters, but the truth did not matter to him. All he wanted was a conviction to justify the millions he wasted going after the wrong person. Truth my butt!!
United States District Judge Reggie B. Walton indicated Tuesday he saw no reason to grant the request. If Walton denies it, he will order Libby to report to prison in the next month or so, but attorneys have said they will rush to an appeals court and try to block his imprisonment there.
Libby was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice for lying to investigators about his conversations with reporters about Plame. Fitzgerald questioned Bush and Cheney in a probe that became a symbol of the administration's deepening problems
Even if pardoned Mr. Libby has incurred immense legal bills and all this time has been wasted going after the wrong person, in Washington there is no justice to be found.
Mr. President you have done a lot of things wrong during your time in office, do a right thing by pardoning Mr. Libby and coming clean on why you allowed Richard Armitage to reveal the name of a CIA operative to the press, to retaliate against her husband, Joseph Wilson who accused your administration of twisting intelligence to justify the 2003 Iraqi invasion.
It is time for this President to admit that he authorized this release of the name, that we were wrong to go to war in Iraq, even though we now need to finish it, and pardon this man before he spends one day in jail for lying to these "persecutors".
