Mr. Forsyth is now on my must-read list. Thank you, sir.

The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country.

The American left intermittently erupts like a pustue on the buttock of a rather good country.

Priceless.

The letter deserves a hallowed place somewhere.

Good read bump

Recommended reading: his short story collection, "No Comebacks."

The one story from that collection that really sticks with me is "Money with Menaces."

So has this guy been knighted, or is that reserved exclusively for rock stars??

[Lorianne]

Cute letter. Thanks for posting.

Huzzah for Mr. Forsyth, and excepting the buttocks eruption of which he writes, huzzah for the UK!

Dear President Bush,

I'm sure you'll be having a nice little tea party with your fellow war criminal, Tony Blair. Please wash the cucumber sandwiches down with a glass of blood, with my compliments.

Frederick Forsyth is not just a novelist. In fact, he's not a good novelist. Frederick Forsyth is and has always been a great novelist.

Wonderful! Thanks for posting.

I bet somebody's going to see a surge in the sale of his books (at least a tiny, Freeper-driven one).

[pgkdan]

Thanks for the chuckle. I always did like Forsyth.

[Poohbah]

Ping.

Great quote: I beg you to take no notice. The British left intermittently erupts like a pustule upon the buttock of a rather good country.

[Incorrigible]

Bump

This is a fun one.

Dear President Bush,

You will be greeted by vast numbers of protesters who think the invasion of Iraq was a crime, and by others who think it was not so much a crime as a mistake - badly planned, and initiated with no idea of what the US was getting into. I wish more of the protesters were there to remind you of your atrocious record as governor of Texas, when you upheld death sentences passed by corrupt and biased courts on illiterate, incompetent and all-toofrequently innocent defendants. Many of the protesters think you are a mass murderer; you certainly have form as a serial killer.

A big TTT for great letter
thanks

I have always enjoyed Frederick Forsyth's novels. And now this!

[ReleaseTheHounds]

That is a classic! I love the Brits who get it.

[Historicus]

He wrote Dogs of War? That's one of my favorite movies. Check out the pictures of the protesters on the front page of Drudge. There is one I'd like put over me knee and teach her some respect. If it wasn't for us, these clowns would be goose stepping right now.
