Time out to enjoy a laugh on a pack of red faced pachyderms!!
It's always a treat to take down a elephant, but it's even more of a treat to bring down a whole rampaging herd of them.
Yesterday I received an e-mail which was titled, "UNBELIEVABLE!!" The sender attached a message saying, "I knew this was going to happen! Obama wasn't lying when he said illegals would not be able to get medical coverage under his Obama care plan!!! He would simply make them all legal!"
The sender urged everyone to please take the time to listen to the attachment as it "tells about the bill going through Congress right now regarding immigration." "Even CNN is getting upset about this!!!!!! Pass it on after you watch it and notice this is from CNN not Fox!!!"
It continued, "This two-minute video should be mandatory viewing for every US citizen!!! If you have never passed anything on before, past this on!!! Every American should be outraged!!!
Certainly a provocative build up. I wondered what bright illumination this attachment would bring.
I noticed that there were a number of other right wing Republicans, big George Bush fans, who were receiving the same e-mail. So I clicked on the attachment and there was Lou Dobbs quoting Republican Senator John Boehner saying that the President's immigration bill currently working its way through Congress was a "piece of sh*t."
Dobb's reported that under the Presidents immigration bill illegal aliens will gain legal status after one day even if their background cannot be processed in time!! and he added, "it will not be."
"Taxpayers beware", Dobbs tells us, "The Presidents immigration bill will also mean US taxpayers will pay for attorneys for these illegal aliens!"
"The Presidents plan provides for temporary visas but", points out Dobbs, "those visas can be renewed indefinitely!" Among the other provisions, gang members will be given amnesty and illegal aliens will pay no taxes although they will be eligible for a tax credit! And amnesty will be given illegal aliens who had been ordered deported. And school tuition will be paid for illegal students!
It went on and on with really upsetting charges about what is in the President's immigration bill. And, yes, I was upset to think that this mad pack of elephants was about to flatten me big time!
Ah!! But truth eventually finds its way into the light with a little searching and what a sweet pleasant truth I discovered!
CNN no longer had the story posted but in a remarkable twist of fate Fox' news and several others had an on-line report of Boehner's statement including the "piece of shit remark".
Yes, the Bushies had unearthed the awful details about the President's bill and Boehner was certainly on to something every American should be up in arms about. But there was only one problem. They overlooked the date Bohner made his statement. Clearly posted under the headline was the date. May 2007.. Yup! That's right the President Boehner was talking about was none other than George W Bush himself!! The man they all love. . . and still do.
What a sweet treat to hit "Reply to All" and jam it up their ...noses!! Elephant noses are quite large and this was an especially long rod!! with lots of sharp barbs on it!!
The sad truth is that I am absolutely sure none of these mad elephants will send a corrective email to all those that got this elephant shit in the first place and I am also sure that they will continue to circulate it without the information as to which President it is actually referring. I am sure this how they will act because if they acted any other way they would not be Republicans.
Still, I hope this tale of elephants getting their noses in a wringer brought a smile to everyone, at least for the moment.
