This does not bode well for my future as MOTUS (Mirror Of The United States):
Thats right; simply by peering into the mirror, we have met the enemy and, shockingly, he is us.
We are the enemy we have been waiting for
As always, the people responsible for this travesty will be held accountable, so I expect to receive my notice of (paid) administrative leave shortly.
Butt wait! I think Ive found an IRS approved loophole!
You cant really blame an empty chair can you?
Good work MOTUS! - if I do say so myself.
With a h/t to Clint Eastwood, allow me to make my case for clemency with this little vignette I like to call "Its like talking to an empty chair":
Scene 1: the IRS
Okay, which one of you two clowns authorized the IRS targeting of conservative groups for harassment?
It wasnt us, Congressman. It was the empty chair, right here, that authorized it.
Look, the President said he didnt even know about it until he heard it on Fox News.
(SNIP)
Scene 2: Benghazi
Our consulate is under attack by Libyan terrorists; our ambassador and his staff are in grave danger. Request permission to send in the Marines, Mr. President.
Mr. President?
(SNIP)
Sorry Leon, you know Vals rules; the empty chair is the only one who can do that.
Sorry Leon, wheels are up; you know I have to turn off all my portable devices now. Check in with me again after Ive caught a few zzzs.
Scene 3: Spying on AP/Fox News
(SNIP)
With the truth, the whole truth and nothing butt
This might get awkward, Ricky, so lets just make sure your investigation doesnt turn up any more embarrassing facts about this little wiretap exercise, Okay?
Of course Bo, well only interview the people who know nothing.
Im sure everything will turn out just fine. After all, Big Guys taking counsel from the best.
Look Boo-Rock, a little advice: youve got to do more than assemble an enemies list. But not too much more.
So in closing then: when Big Guy says theres no there there, you can take him at his word. Literally.
Note to self: this might fall under the rubric of too much more:
We have met the domestic enemy (everyone failed to identify) and he is NOT US. It’s the damn socialists/totalitarians, again.
ECOTUS
So Clint Eastwood was right.
