When I put out generic and Dem friendly versions of the "
Bullshit Deflectors" the response was overwhelming.
I got lots of friendly email, even a request for an Australian version, and the usual smattering to hate mail from humorless and clueless GOPers and wing-nuts. But had to share the richly ironic one from Bechtel employee David Wells and my reply:

Hey there,
Where can I find a BS protector for Harry Reid, Nancy Pellosi, Chucky Shumer, Dick McDermott, Howard Dean and Joe Biden?
Very interested to find asap, as I have noticed that I most clean my ears quite often after listening to these folks.
Thank you,
My quick reply below the fold...
Hey David,
Of course you feel that way, considering your employer. BTW, sorry about Bechtel's Donald Rumsfeld and his buddy Saddam's pipeline project in the 1980s falling through and all... but how are those war profits coming along for you guys... helping to make up for it?
My suggestion about cleaning your ears would be stop putting your head where you seem to keep it firmly lodged...

Yes, stellar year here at Bechtel. I've bought a few new guns, a new boat, a new IBM machine and sweet gas guzzling SUV.
BTW, good joke, but I thought the Republicans were suppose to be the mean ones. Regardless, thanks for the pointers, coming from a Democrat I should have known you would have plenty of experience...
late,
My reply:
LOL... "mean ones"...
what next.. the I am rubber you are glue defense?
Sorry to hear that a fellow gun-owner has their priorities and politics so far out of whack though... not to mention lame taste in computing hardware. But enjoy the fiddling when Rome burns.

"I"m rubber you're glue", what am I to do, you owned me on pulling the head out of the arse comment.
Thanks for the conversation; have a good weekend.
My reply...
Not sure if an email version of playing the dozens is a "conversation",
...but have a good weekend to you too, we know our troops in Iraq won't (unfortunately).
Lets hope they can all have some good weekends with their families (safe, sound and whole) when they finally are brought home from this unmitigated colossal blunder the clown in the Oval Office made.
