RE: Time to bring back public floogings? Some comments about your comments on Brit Hume.

Mr. Shales,

Brit Hume suggested that Tiger Woods consider Christianity for the amazing grace that redemption brings. That comment caused you to consign him to the modern American Liberal version of Gehenna.

You said that “even only a few days into January it [the comment] is one of the most ridiculous of the year”.

I would suggest that a brief teaching moment from the cat, perhaps two dozen well laid on would be appropriate, save that you would probably enjoy it..

Instead, even though it is “only a few days into January” you are to be singled out for a rare honor

You have swept three of my most prestigious awards long before the Super Bowl. Accordingly, you are named

HORSE’S ASS OF THE WEEK
POMPOUS FART OF THE MONTH
SMARMY BASTARD OF THE YEAR

Most ill-tempered scribes would slack off, like Alexander in tears after conquering Afghanistan [evidence that surges work?], because there were no other motivations. I believe in your enthusiasm for being the paradigmatic template for modern America Liberal ink stained wretches will enable you to overcome this.

I wait to hear the sound of one hand not clapping as you ignore Senator Reid’s comments about “light skinned Negros”. Actually, a “light skinned Negro”, one who is as then Senator Biden said, “clean and articulate”, could go far in American politics, don’t you think?

You may wish to cite the fact that neither Reid nor Biden called B. Hussein Obama a “macaca”. That would have been unforgiveable.


“Men without chests”

C.S. Lewis was right.

PS – As I write this I am watching the ordination of a former KKK organizer as a Minister by a Black Bishop into a Black congregation. [I want to mention the Senator Byrd KKK connection but I won’t.] While you await your orders from the Church of Secular Humanism, Moral Relativism, and What’s Happening Now you may wish to Google up Dismas. I hope that it is not too late for you to try to become familiar with Dante.
