The Best People

This country is full of brilliant people. People who can turn sunshine into fuel, algae into food and old rubber tires into roads. Why then do we allow ourselves to be governed by 53 geriatric half wits who couldn't summarize an episode of MacGuyver? Much less stay awake through one.

Say hello to Georgia Senator Johnny Isakson.

The sooner we say goodbye to this mouth-breathing cretin, the better.

Senator Johnny Isakson

120 Russell Senate Office Building 

Washington, DC 20510

Dear Johnny,

I'd like to be the first Californian to congratulate you on winning the John McCain Service to Country Award. 

I don't often find myself in agreement with Republican Senators, 47 of whom have received hand written letters from me this year, but on the topic of National Service, you and I are like two ripe peaches in a Georgia wicker basket.

I believe that following high school, young people should do a year of mandatory service. That can be in the armed forces, the Peace Corps or even slapping on a yellow vest and cleaning debris off our highways.

That concludes the niceties portion of this letter.

So Senator, what do you plan on doing with the plaque handed to you by Cindy McCain? 

Perhaps it will go on the mantle, wedged between The Golden Bootlicker Service to President Award and the Commemorative Brown Ring Medal you received for years of "inimitable ingratiation."

By now this little GOP chorus is painfully familiar. You voted with Captain Fuckknuckle on tax cuts for the wealthy, taking healthcare away from millions of people, relaxing pollution standards and of course, rubberstamping each of his intensely unqualified nominees to positions of power in the cabinet and in the courts. 

You stood behind Precedent Shitgibbon a whopping 127% of the time. I know that seems to defy the law of mathematics and statistics, but that's what makes you an award winner, doesn't it, Johnny?

Pretty soon you are going to have the opportunity to take your lickspittle ways to new heights. 

Allow me to elaborate.

As you know, our Commander in Thief has declared a National Emergency. To build his seen-from-space big, beautiful Wall, he plans to divert money from previously approved military construction projects.

That could put you in a bit of a pickle since you are the Chairman of Senate Committee on Veteran's Affairs.

Which means sometime in the very near future, some Sergeant, who just did two tours in Iraq and one in Syria, will come home and rejoin his family in a cockroach-infested, tin roof barracks. And he'll also come before your committee and ask why he and his wife and his 4 year old daughter have to share a bunk with a horde of typhoid carrying tree rats.

This will be your opportunity to follow the lead of your precious bollock-chinned spunk bubble president. Who, at his most recent press conference, expressed no concern that diverting military construction money -- to build the wall -- would delay projects benefitting the troops like base housing, schools and gyms, (saying, and I quote) "it didn't sound too important to me."

Try telling that to our returning vets.

See how that works, Senator.

Best,

Rich Siegel
