Cindy Sheehan - Talking Points Memo

Tonight on the memo the memo apologizes to Cindy Sheehan.
Michelle Malkin, and the memo, were despicable in our display of partisan political smear.
Cindy, you are an honorable and courageous woman.
These are traits that the memo itself could never attain.
Or really, the memo thinks Bill could never attain these things because the memo itself is just a construct.
Anyway, the memo digresses.
The smear attack is something the memo will truly regret for now and for the rest of the memo's life.

The memo rescinds it's support for the war.
The troops should be brought home immediately and the memo implores the President to do so.

The President should resign.
He started this war based on a web of lies and deception.
Never before has there been such an anti-American administration in the White House.
Never before has there been an administration that has done so much to hurt this country.

The memo is sick of lying for the right.
The memo is sick of our soldiers dying needlessly for the imperial hubris of the right.
The world is worse off with Bush and the neo-cons in control.
The memo think it's finally time to come out and say it, so there it is.

As for the memo.
First off, it's tired of being voiced by a schmuck like me, Bill O'Reilly.
Second, it's tired of being referred to in multiple persons.
Third, it's tired of smearing good people like Cindy Sheehan.
From here on out the memo will stop being a lap-dog of the neo-con right.
The memo becomes ill when it thinks about how it sold out it's own ideals and honor for a little fleeting fame.

No longer will the memo accuse people who legitimately oppose this war of being un-American traitors.
In fact the memo now believes that those opposing this war do so out of a great love of country and patriotism.
The memo beseechs it's audience to have another look at the facts of the situation and to do what is morally correct and right, to oppose this illegal war.

The memo is sorry, Cindy.
The memo is nothing but a slave to the right wing spin machine and as such it often finds itself saying things it finds repugnant.
The memo knows that this won't make up for the disgusting things were said.
But the memo now pledges that it won't be a tool of the right any longer.
Even if that costs the memo it's job within the right wing propaganda machine called Fox News.

And that's the memo.
