Here’s an idea. Maybe I should leave a message in Ginni Thomas’s voicemail that goes something like this:
“Good morning Ginni Thomas, I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of what your husband did in that whole Bush v. Gore thing.”
“That little decision, which was afraid of its own logic (“Our consideration is limited to the present circumstances, for the problem of equal protection in election processes generally presents many complexities”), gave us a twenty-seven percent increase in our debt as a percentage of GDP, nearly 5,000 dead coalition soldiers in Iraq, and brought on a near-total collapse of the global economy that has cost us millions of jobs. This country began torturing people and detaining them on false pretenses.
“So give it some thought. And certainly pray about this and hope that one day you will help us understand why your husband did what you did. O.K., have a good day.”
Also, too, if it was you who put the pubic hair on your husband’s can of Coca-Cola, you should probably apologize for that, too.
