If Only They Would Hear
Hey, Nancy...Can We Talk?
By whereismyparty
Nancy...first, I have to say, I still haven’t congratulated you on your enormous win last November…and…oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed, it’s already been 9½ months!!! My goodness, the time just slipped by. (I’m kinda’ hoping the same rule applies here as with weddings and babies and that sort of thing...you know, that 12-month grace period thingy...to send a gift, or whatever! HA!HA!) Seriously, Nancy, you know me…I stay so busy…I haven’t even had time to watch the news lately. Course, I haven’t felt a need to with you and Harry in charge now!
Anyway…Congratulations, my dear. I couldn’t be more ecstatic! It must be such an incredible honor to be the first Madam Speaker. You are just so blessed! And of course you deserve it too. I cheered for you and your success the whole way. Yes I did!
But it wasn’t easy, was it Nancy? Remember, just a few months back, when Dennis was in charge, and things were sooo different then? Remember?
Like that time when John wanted to hold a hearing on The Downing Street Memo, and Dennis gave him such a hard time about that…He wouldn’t even give him a room to hold his hearing in…Remember that? Poor John had to hold his hearing in the capital basement!…And John had that letter with ALL those signatures from Americans demanding answers? Course we couldn’t get those answers then cause we weren’t in charge (DUH!)…But we are now, aren’t we? I bet you have been going after that with both guns blazing! I mean the DSM is so HUGE!…And since 9 months has gone by and all…You must be so on top of that by now!
Oh, yeah, and then there was that time when we all found out about the Vice President and his side-kick Bush spying on everyone? Oh. My. God. That was so WRONG. You were so pissed. I still remember the expression on your face! Man! What have you done to stop that lately? I bet you have SO shut that program down! You go girl!
And then there was the whole TORTURE thing. Remember how ashamed we were? (Shudder) I can’t even go there. I’m just glad you and Harry are in charge. Man, I bet you all have passed some amazing legislation to stop that sort of thing. I wish I had time to listen to the news more so that I could cheer all these victories with you.
But while I’m at it…I have to ask…How’s Harry doing? I bet he just loves being the leader of the Senate. He was so frustrated during those years that Bill Frist was in charge. Remember the nuclear option? HA! HA! HA! Bet Harry’s been having field day with that one. Mitch Mac must be SO hating life! But seriously, how many times has Harry threatened to use that against them?
Oh the things you two can accomplish together now that you are in charge. All those things we dreamed of…Remember how we just wanted to see our country whole again? See it being respected here and abroad like it used to be. Remember? Like ending the war and bringing the troops home and restoring habeas corpus, and outlawing torture and eavesdropping and Gitmo…oh, I could just go on and on.
Man! You could even pull the ultimate dream of rallying the Congress into impeachment proceedings! Seems like that’s all I ever hear about these days when I do come up for air! There sure is a lot of support for it! (BTW, I heard a nutty rumor that you took that off the table – FOX NEWS started spreading that rumor, didn’t they? I bet they did.) But, seriously, Nancy…I know you and Harry have it all under control. Next time I do take the time to tune into the news, I’m sure it will be so different from how it was just 9 months ago.
And with all the excellent changes you and Harry are making, we have nothing to worry about in 2008! But we’ll discuss that another time. I should let you go now…Duty calls.
Love you both. Stay in touch. And whatever you do, don’t ever forget who put you where you are today. But then, I know you won’t!
