Johnny, Johnny, Johnny . . . what great fun you are to watch. Sincerely, I thank you for all the great belly-laughs these past weeks.
Y'know, Johnny, I've been watching political campaigns for well over 40 years and I've seen some really stupid ones. Yours is quickly rising right up there with the top four or five silliest, too. Of course, you don't realize that yet, do you Johnny.
But, Johnny, it's really your own fault. It's a leadership thing and leadership is something you know very, very little about. That will become rather obvious if you just look around your campaign committee a little.
Try it, Johnny. Get a roster of your advisors; the ones left after the publicly identified liars and thieves were culled. Then, cross off all the Clinton supporters. Anyone left? Not many, huh. That's because you have no leadership abilities of your own. So you picked advisors who have other loyalties. You're so self-centered you think they are helping you out. Well, they are. Out of the Presidency.
Come on now, Johnny, think a little. Who's the jerk who instructed you to make that fantasy film for the convention? Who's the joker who talked you into starting your convention speech by saluting and saying "reporting for duty"?
Whoever talked you into campaigning as a war hero did so knowing that is, by far, the most ridiculous theme for a campaign you could possibly choose. I mean, come on now, you originally got into politics by stomping on the backs of veterans -- by publicly disgracing them in writing, in speeches and even in Congressional hearings. What . . . you thought maybe no one would remember?
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny . . . you built yourself a reputation as a Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden "down with the establishment" hippie-type war protester. Now, suddenly, you want people to look at you like some kind of Audie Murphy war hero? Well, Johnny, it ain't going to happen. Not now. Not ever. Not as long as real Vietnam veterans are alive.
Retired Senator Bob Dole hit the nail on the head last weekend: "One day he's saying that we were shooting civilians, cutting off their ears, cutting off their heads, throwing away his medals or his ribbons. The next day he's standing there, 'I want to be president because I'm a Vietnam veteran'. Maybe he should apologize to all the other 2.5 million veterans who served."
Bob Dole was way too kind, actually. You can apologize if you want to, Johnny, and you damn well should. But, the only way you could recoup even a little honor would be to permanently leave public life. You will not, though. Instead, you continue to scratch old wounds, getting directly in the faces of millions of honorable American veterans.
It almost started to work, too. Thousands of Social-Democrats around the country -- past dope smoking, hippy-type war protesters, one and all -- were beginning to show their true hypocritical colors by supporting you. Yeah, the old war protesters were actually thinking about supporting someone claiming to be a war hero. Isn't that an interesting development, Johnny? Just goes to show how much we can trust that crowd . . . how shallow their convictions really run. The hypocritical supporting the rudderless.
Fact is, Johnny, you have been set up for this fall. There is no diabolical conspiracy here. The Clinton cabal just needed a pawn to push out front this year. Someone they know cannot win the election. Someone self-centered enough he will not realize he cannot win. Someone with a record that will insure he cannot win. You're that pawn, Johnny. You're the pawn sacrificed to create a later opening.
Let's face it, Johnny, you're way too undependable for the left to seriously support. Hell, you change positions so frequently you should actually debate yourself! Sure, you're certainly a socialist. But, you're apt to change instantly if you think there are more votes on the right, or a couple bucks to be collected there.
Of course, the right doesn't want you, either. You tried to disgrace our American military and, by so doing, gave aide and comfort to the enemy during time of war. Veterans, whether Democrats or Republicans, will never forget that. And it's the veterans, of both parties, who are going to make you pay.
Well, stupid is as stupid does, Johnny. Which means, Johnny, you got yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place here. But it's a place you made for yourself. You deserve it.
After liars, thieves and Clinton supporters are culled, nobody is left.
