Groupthink
 | NEW YORK - Columbia University president Lee Bollinger confirmed plans to go forward with a speech by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad aimed at helping the progressive academic community better to understand their role in the Global War on U.S. Imperialism. "We are preparing some hard-ball questions that would force Iran's President to tell us more about his rich experience in purging academia and creating a perfectly uniform intellectual climate of diversity," stated Bollinger. "We are so committed to intellectual diversity that we spare no effort to silence the hate-mongering vitriol by our right-wing critics - and few people know about that more than our honored guest," Bollinger said, adding that "only an anti-intellectual bigot would oppose a speech by a distinguished Islamic scholar whose metaphysical insights into holocausts illuminate the massive genocides of the 20th century for all of us." |

Lee Bollinger: "We believe in accommodating the views of anyone who wants to kill us just as strongly as we condemn the views of people who spend their money and blood keeping us safe. We are not hypocrites." "Let's not pretend Islamists are the only murderers. we have many gay friends right here in America who would kill for a ticket to a Cher concert!" |
| | Columbia student: "A world dominated by the United States is so, like, Eighties." |
| |  Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: "Kill a thousand people and have another virgin in paradise; kill ten thousand and you don't have to shave your body first and get razor burn."  Mahmoud Ahmadinejad: Good for Chavez, good for America! New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly: "If Columbia University wants to invite someone as crazy as Ahmadinejad, they should choose from the pool of genocidal Islamic maniacs who are already dead courtesy of Allied Forces."
|
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad may already have all the right answers: he is known to espouse a set of beliefs that closely mirror those held by secular American progressives. Like them he thinks that any individual out of prison or a psychiatric hospital is in deep exile from benign authority and guidance. He shares American academia's conviction that Western society is intrinsically evil and needs to be extinguished. And, like many environmentalists, he believes that paradise on earth can be achieved through a total annihilation of human race. Until that becomes practicable, any drastic reduction of the world's population by conventional means will do, ultimately serving the Greater Good.
Bollinger:"Helping students to understand the hideous world as it is and the glorious utopia it might be" |
According to the draft copy of his Columbia speech The People's Cube obtained from a trusted source, Iranian President claims that the idea of genocide originates from Allah himself, who had created the Great Flood that killed off nearly the whole human race. "Allah had destroyed whole Creations innumerable times until he came up with one that popped," he says. "Obviously a world dominated by the United States is yet another evolutionary disaster and is subject to demolition. So when we want to nuke up we're only doing Allah's good work."
The famed Islamic mystic further asserts that, in final analysis, all major prestigious religions are based on wild maniacal murder. "Krishna advises Arjuna to go to war to kill and be killed, Jesus was publicly and lawfully executed, and Buddha had a powerful ruling taste for fresh and highly spiced tandoori chicken. Likewise, Mohammed slaughtered millions with his pious armies."
"Leaders of mankind who order sacred genocides even if they are atheists become immediately closer to God. Their slaughters at a whim imitate the hunger of our divine Creator to destroy and devour us all along with sundry life forms all over the universe. Even stepping on a cockroach embraces one's godhead; one joins the company of heaven itself at least for five minutes."
"If God is the ultimate executioner, human beings are masterly adepts at torture," Ahmadinejad is known to pronounce piously every time he kicks a cat, a dog, or a woman. His insatiable quest for mystical experience has taken him from the beheading of lizards as a child to the beheading of infidels later in life. He was never tried for these magic acts of liberation, as they are not a crime under Islamic law.
Confronting critics who often lampoon him as a failed genocidal maniac, Ahmadinejad complains that only lack of means made him less than a mass killer - but that will change as soon as Iran's nuclear program is completed. Previously, Ahmadinejad was only able to kill his wife, children, his local extended family down to his third cousins, and assorted neighbors, cows, horses, camels, and dogs before he was chosen by the Guardian Council of Magic Mullahs to be the country's next president.
Many forward-looking American academics feel Ahmadinejad's sterling work deserves some sort of a prestigious award. Opinions are divided between the Nobel Prize on the one hand - and the posthumous Bollinger Prize awarded immediately - on the other.

It has been speculated that the only reason why Ahmadinejad had never been awarded with the Pulitzer Prize is the fear that he would finish the ceremony by slaughtering the entire committee with a rusty butcher knife and stone ax - something he had already done to the committee that appointed him to the Ezra Pound Chair at Harvard exploring Deconstruction.
As a minimum precaution, NYPD has recommended that Ahmadinejad be separated from Columbia students by chicken wire, if not fastened to a metal chair for the entire duration of the Q&A session.
Iranian President's speech is expected to follow by an evening of introspective reflections on the ethics of rape, in which invited rapists will instruct students on the importance of respecting civil rights of rapists.
Columbia's hard-ball questions for Iranian leader are expected to include: - Challenging the legitimacy of falsified elections in Florida and Ohio
- The Republican genocide of African Americans in New Orleans
- The corporate glass ceiling that denies women access to the American boardrooms
- The absence of free healthcare
- Ending America's war for foreign oil
- The primitive American mindset that views President Bush as some sort of 'supreme leader.'

Comrades, would it be possible for the Party to use the momentum of Mahmoud's visit to make him the new "rebel" poster-child of the Party? I think it's time to replace Che with this guy. Wait, wait, don't jump all over me. Hear me out.
The problem with Che is that he's so, well, twentieth century. Latin America--how passé can you get? It's old hat. After all, they're Christians! They go berserk with joy down there when the Pope visits. And when was the last time anybody from below the Rio Grande conducted a successful major attack against a Western target? Maybe the problem is that they're practically Western themselves.
The new wind blows from the east, comrades. Let's get started with Mahmoud t-shirts, bumper stickers, and other trinkets. What a great face he has. It's mafioso, Third World victim, and freedom-fighter all rolled into one. Oh, that chronically unshaven look, it's even better than Arafat's. And his skin is just the right color to cover all the bases.
If he gets too uppity, we'll dump him. But for now--we'd be fools not to take advantage of his appeal.
Don't worry, we'll reserve a special place for Che in the pantheon of great progressives.

Great Stalin's Ghost

It is very thoughtful of that nice Mr. Bollinger to invite such an important genocidal maniac to his University in order to enhance the education of his students. There is one problem though. Mr. Ahmadinejad is only one psychotic madman and there are thousands of Columbia students who need to hear his message and perhaps study his valuable techniques.
I suggest that Mr. Bollinger invite some lesser known and smaller scale murderers and Jew haters to Columbia to offer seminars, which could be more intimate but just as informative to students who are in need of that point of view. OJ, while very well known, may have a lot of time on his hands soon. Tookie Williams, another celebrity and Hollywood darling, lately residing on death row, could indoctrinate students for hours with stories of being the favorite murderer of so many Hollywood celebrities.
There are others who are almost unknown to the general public but who could still help give students an education. Here are some current death row inmates:
In 1990, Elias Syriani stabbed his wife multiple times with a screw driver, while in the presence of their 10-year-old son.
Joe Elton Nixon kidnapped a woman and then burned her alive (hoping to kill her of course) so that she wouldn't be able to identify him.
Michael Ross confessed to the rape and murder of eight young girls in June 1986 and in 1987 he was sentenced to death in a Connecticut courtroom for his crimes. He has dropped all appeals and now wants to die.
Inbetween appeals for clemency, why not allow some of these diverse individuals to help prepare the next generation at Columbia for adulthood? There are hundreds of others on death row, and any progressive can see the need for these misunderstood individuals to contribute to the diversity of thought at our major universities.
Ahmadinajad is the first, but he should not be the last.

Hell, why don't they just invite the BTK Murderer to give a speech. I'm sure his actions would be thought progressive in eliminating the human race in order to create paradise here, while at the same time having fun.

No stretch at all, comrade! I loved it. As a focus for inspiration, I will send to our Kino-Pravda section that old Baath Party truth-movie about Saddam's youth. I can almost see it: there will be Flat Fatimas galore, authoritarian metaphysical and moral puzzles solved with democratic beheadings... We can even hire an Iranian or Cuban puppet-director, make it chic and send it to Sundance. It will be a hit! (Let's just avoid hiring Spike Lee; he might accidentally smoke the movie tapes.)
Class-conscience tears roll from my eyes, comrade, as I picture the altruistic scene. I'm tailoring a potato-sack for myself this very week. About the fashion critics, don't you worry: anyone that could make our Che a fashion symbol can make potato-sacks become the rage.

I hate to sound like a cold rag again, but I just don't get the fascination for this Abujihadabubba. He is so yesterdays news, or at least he will be soon no doubt. For say what you will about the Bushitler, you have to give the imperialist military kudos since they would make short work of this Islamic wannabe. Nowhere do I see much about a really sharp dressed man, a man after our own heart, a man with a little bit of real muscle, both of the body and the military.... our own Chairman Putin!

Excellent point. The UN should be relocated to a more progressive city, like maybe some village in outer Wazooistan. Mahmmy has correctly identified the guilty: "US hawks", a farsi word correctly translated as red-blooded patriotic Americans. Only dhimmis, after paying the tax, are entitled to their opinions. That is what freedom is all about. The Party could send Lee Bollinger as ambassador.

EVERYONE DENOUNCE COLUMBIA U. PRESIDENT LEE BOLLINGER! DENOUNCE HIM NOW! DENOUNCE HIM NOOOWWWWWW!
I DENOUNCE LEE BOLLINGER! This man… NO!... this “thing” had the audacity to slam the peaceful, noble, courageous and progressive puppet-president of the Islamic Republic of Iran. He – in all his intolerance and imperial warmongering – has single handedly embarrassed and defamed the gold gilded halls of academia. He has sloped to a low that goes beyond right-wing attack hits. He has embarrassed himself, the People and the Party with his derogatory slurs, his racist demeanor and his overall glow of intolerance. This “thing” is pure evil and a threat to progress, and I will be the first to ask for his FIRING - EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY! Everyone at Columbia University should be ASHAMED for having this man call himself their “president” and they should all join me – arm in arm, hand in hand – in denouncing this “thing” and asking for his forced removal!
I AM OUTRAGED! I AM DISGUSTED! AND I WILL TURN THIS INTO A SOCIAL MOVEMENT FOR OBSCENE PERSONAL GAIN SO HELP ME STALIN!
Let all Party records be amended to highlight Lee Bollinger for the MONSTER that he is. Let he forever be known as an Enemy of the People and a stooge for the Bush Regime! Never again will he be embraced by the cold arms of the Party.THIS “THING” SHOULD BECOME A NON-PERSON AND A STAIN ON HISTORY THAT THE PARTY WILL RUB OUT FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE! How dare he! HOW DARE HE EMBARRASS THE PARTY! NO ONE EMBARRASES THE PARTY!
And that is all I have to say about that. Let my rant be stricken into the record for the Children™. I humbly yield the remaining minutes of my time.

Just give me the damn chisel and I'll hammer it on the heads of the Children so that they will always remember the injustice committed today against a peace loving man! This Bollinger prick baited President Ahmadinejad the same way Chris Wallace (that imperial whore!) baited Hillary’s estranged husband! This is a right-wing attack of the worst kind and it would be in the best interest of this hateful country to issue a formal apology to the Iranian government! By the way… I’m still outraged.

Comrades,
I counsel calm in the face of absurdity. Quaff some ju-jubes and drink a fine wine. Let your mind release slowly from your body and listen to my words.
Indeed, none here have yet been enlightened as to the Columbia affair with Achminejamminindenude. Indeed, the emperor of Iran recognizes, as all good progressives recognize, that there is no afterlife, no metaphysical this or metaphysical that. The only absolute truth is what we make it! The only joy we experience is what we seize today! The only glory we experience is the praise of jubilant millions shouting our names as we stand on the balcony overlooking the unwashed rabble. As this is taught even today in our universities by party agents it should be no surprise if this wamprat, His Protruberance Makemood Ahmouttamagourd, fits right in. All hail the progress of the party. Ignorance is knowledge, hatred is love, falsehood is truth. Now where are those ju-jubes?
Marshal Pupovich
Chairman M. S. Punchenko

President Ahmydinnerjacket is well versed in Progressive logic, Comrade Rex. His reference that "freedom" exist in Iran takes me back to the times when the Soviet leadership would assure the world that there were indeed free and fair elections.... that is, so long as you vote for the Party candidate(s)... who were, by the way, the only candidates on the ballot (as it should be!). Luckily for us there are people who still think tyranny is in fact "freedom" <snicker><snort> ha ha! We are stilling fooling you!!!
But on a much darker and sinister note: am I and our MSM networks the only two denouncing Bollinger right now? I mean, the man dropped the ball and bashed a dear guest to this hateful, warmongering country that we are all forced to live in. Sure, he did invite President Ahmandickingjanet to talk... he gets points for undermining AmeriKKKa that way. But to call him names and to insult him??? No... he lost points... a lot of points. And I for one am not going to sit here and let him sully our good names! No! I'm going to sit here and personally write an apology to the government of Iran for this awful man's "introductory" before Madam Speaker or Harry Reid beats me to it. It must be done <dramatic pause> for the Children!

He has his uses as I have pointed out, yet how can we square progressiveness with his denial of homosexuals in Iran?
Father Prog Theocritus
Comrades, while I of all people do appreciate all the fashionista aspect of Ahneedadingleberry, is it not perhaps time to MoveOn™ past the Che and Fidel tropes? I mean, all that khaki is just fine, if you're from a banana republic. But if you're from a sand-ridden theocracy where homecoming queen is a camel and "Come on Baby, Light My Fire" is an incitement to a union of a critical mass of enriched uranium, then you have a reason to have new standards.
Let's ask Bianca Jagger. She's dumber than a sackful of hammers, but then that's never been much of a problem, has it? She does that rumpled look pretty well, and I think that's that Ahmajerkoff really needs right now--a really deconstructed wardrobe.
And anyway, I have lots of old moldy linen I need to unload. I bet Benneton would cooperate.
Chairman M. S. Punchenko
The homosexuals will just have to take one for their team... or is it our team? Hmm? Well, someone's team I suppose. You see, throwing them under Cher's tour bus for the Greater Good is just something we are going to have to accept and is why Commissar Theocritus has one solitary glitter-laced bullet standing by in the event we have to appease our masters in Tehran. He knows - as well as we do - that having the Freedom Fighters on our team will ensure the survival of the Party and ensure their cooperation in helping us tear down everything this country stands for. What it really boils down to is who is the most useful, and the Party has deemed the Freedom Fighters the most useful. Sorry, Theocritus... you know its all for the Children.
Father Prog Theocritus
Meow, you're only an honorary homo; later on I'll proclaim all Progressives Honorary Homos in a bull.
And Meow, I know it's all for the sake of the children but you forget I don't have any children, so it's all for me, for the child is the father of the man, nicht wahr?
And anyway, those glitter bullets are so, like, over. We're all into deconstructed masculinity now. Although the one time I was in a bar in Washington DC, the Eagle, with a leather room, I nearly was killed. You had to wear leather or denim, not common in DC in 1982, to get in there, and Richard Simmons would have been butch.
So I have a Calvin Klein bullet.

Oh, how much more does this Commissar have to point out an important point? Progressivism is NOT Abujihadibubbadoodoo's cause. He may be useful to the cause through his attacks on the imperialist warmongering US, but he does not have the same forward looking vision of which we are the sole guardian. I have tried to point out that the Party need not award this idiot, we do not need to outwardly support him in any way, as there are still some undecided that we can lure into our use that would perhaps be otherwise revolted by our support. For instance, how many progressive gay men did that clown turn off the other day that we can make good use of? As a party, we can openly condemn this man, while at the same time cheering him on, and that doesn't cost us one ruble. He is quite happy to advance his own cowardly and insane cause on his own. No, we should just let him do what he likes to do, take advantage of his actions, and when he is no longer of use to us, make him an un-person. There is a silver lining of progressive opportunity from the events of yesterday now that I have sobered up and pondered this. For we can condemn both the criminal B and the nutcase from Iran at the same time, and come out winners on every side.
Now I am aware that my statements here could be construed as anti progressive and some of higher rank than this lowly Commissar might be tempted to cause the Pup "some discomfort" so to speak. But trust me, I have the Party's interests at heart at all times, and I would be remiss in my duties to fail to point some things out, even if it costs my family the price of a bullet. If that would advance the Party's cause, it is a price well worth paying.

What? No homosexuals in Iran? Uh... I have it on good authority from a U.S. Air Force officer who when to school with a whole lot of Iranians over here on student visas (this was the pre-Ayatolla Khomenei era) that 99% of all Iranian men are homosexual ... until they are allowed to marry. It seems pre-marital hetero sex will get you killed, however pre-marital gay sex was ignored back then. Since his college had a community shower, he said he always made it a point to schedule his shower during one of their prayer times. And even then he said he was careful NOT to drop the soap. He also had to use a squeegee to clean the hair they left behind on the shower floor before he took shower.
Comrades, I think that the discussion so far has failed to complement these fine young, brainless, student proles at Columbia Univ.! It is clear that they have excelled in absorbing the anti-AmeriKKKa, progressive, dogma that their "thought leaders" (professors) have force fed them. Truly, the ultimate "Zero-Thinking/Zero Tolerance" policy that The Party™ has seen in some time!
<off character>
I agree 110% with Meow!!! These butt-heads at Columbia Univ. are the brightest minds that the U.S.A. has to offer? They hate their own country. They warmly embrace a mass-murdering socio-path that THEY invited to come and speak, knowing full well his speech would be a bile filled screed about America. They are the country's future leaders? This country is FUCKED!!!

I can scarcely believe that it takes a simple dumb prole like me, with my simple shovel, to point out the obvious that everyone here is missing about Ahmajujifruit's remarks regarding homosexuals in Iran.
(Then again, was it not a little child in the fairy tale who pointed out to the grownups that the Emperor's thing was showing?)
You all wonder how Ahmagoogoo could have said something so baffling, when he was otherwise rapping out the DNC talking points with all the predictable precision of a James Carville doll whose string you pull. (Boy, that DNC script must be getting dog-eared by now from being passed around the Middle East.)
There are two perfectly good explanations for this anomaly:
1. The interpreter, like General Petraeus, is nothing but yet another shill for the Bush White House. Under pain of being sent to Gitmo, she was coached on what to say, whether Ahmaladadingdong actually said it or not. She purposely mistranslated the answer to students' questions about homosexuals in Iran to confuse everyone, in hopes of turning them against the honored guest and diverting their attention away from the war crimes of Bush and Cheney.
2. Remember all that fuss over the video of our Empress coming on stage somewhere, and everyone cheered her? Well, the right wing media keeps blathering about how that video was doctored by MTV, that the cheers were phony and edited in to cover up what the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy claims was really BOOING! UNTHINKABLE! They want stupid proles like me to believe that, yet they turn around and pull that exact same stunt on Ahmagonnabombyou and assume you're all dumb enough to fall for it!
Yes, the evil Bush Administration doctored Ahamawhozit's answer simply to agitate everyone and divert everyone's attention away from the Bush quagmire in Iraq, where 50,000,000,000,000 (as of 2 pm today EDT) innocent peace-loving, kite-flying people have already been brutally murdered by the Bush Armed Forces for nothing but a few barrels of Bush Oil!

I say it is evidence of how well our campaigns of re-education and double-think have gone. Here we have a man who spouts obvious and blatant lies. Here we have a man who heads a government that has publicly executed its citizens for homosexuality. Here we have a man that testifies to the falsity of the Holocaust. Here we have a man who has repeatedly expressed a desire to wipe the nation of Israel off the map, because it is full of Jews.
And here we have a woman who loves him:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/9/23/83652/6735My favorite quotes:
"I know I'm a Jewish lesbian and he'd probably have me killed. But still, the guy speaks some blunt truths about the Bush Administration that make me swoon..."
"I want to be very clear. There are certainly many things about Ahmadinejad that I abhor — locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy. Even still, I can’t help but be turned on by his frank rhetoric calling out the horrors of the Bush Administration and, for that matter, generations of US foreign policy preceding. "
Comrades, we have successfully indoctrinated Sally Kohn to hate Bush and America so fiercely that she will embrace any psycopath who likewise hates Bush and America. We have convinced her that Bush is more evil than the man that, by her own pen has been "locking up dissidents, executing of gay folks, denying the fact of the Holocaust, potentially adding another dangerous nuclear power to the world and, in general, stifling democracy." She does not even realize that she IS a dissident by Iranian standards! Ah the delicious irony that if Bush truly were as evil as she belives, she would have been publicly hanged. As for ME, I personally swoon with joy at the knowledge that we have twisted her thoughts so thoroughly that she thinks she is rational.
Obviously our job is not done, as evidenced by the few boos and catcalls apparent during Ahneedafancylad's address at Colombia. I wish someone had the foresight to have aimed a camera at the crowd so we could identify the thought criminals who dared mock (no doubt Rethuglican plants), but we can continue to chip away at them with diversity programs, proper education and re-education, and mandatory sesitivity training sessions.

Hey... it works!... err.. or so I've heard.
Pinkie, that's a great discovery y-.. The Party made. Besides, it's much more progressive than battery-wasting, eco-unfrendly capitalistic appliances. And generates no kids!

Chairman M. S. Punchenko
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.... I know I just didn't see Party Diplomat Drago take a cheap shot against Appliance-Americans. Oh no, someone tell me he didn't call them "eco-unfriendly capitalistic appliances". Someone tell me he didn't just say that... because I swear to Stalin I will make some pretty nasty marks in his State Work Records. Oh yes! You bet your ass I will make some nasty marks! <pulls out red pen> Here it is, Comrades. The one thing that separates you from me... this pen... this sacred, holy and all powerful pen that can get you, your family and whatever else you love SHIPPED to a frozen Hell!
I - AND THE MILLIONS OF REGISTERED APPLIANCE-AMERICANS WHO SUFFER AND TOIL DAILY UNDER PETTY CAPITALISM- AWAIT A FULL, DRAMATIC AND GROVELING APOLOGY FROM YOU, PARTY DIPLOMAT DRAGO! GIVE ME A GOOD DON IMUS APOLOGY, DRAGO... MAKE IT OSCAR WORTHY!
Party Diplomat Ivan Drago

<DRAMATIC, GROVELING, OSCAR-WORTHY APOLOGY>
BY STALIN, WHAT HAVE I DONE?
----------------
On behalf of my collective self, the local Diplomacy and External Affairs Bureau issues this formal apology to all Appliance-Americans who no doubt have felt deeply hurt by my recently posted ravings. Please allow me a brief moment to expose my claims.
----
Dear fellow Appliance-Americans,
After extracting valuable information from prole Pinkie about Americans who have erotic affection for thoughts of Bush-hating, I investigated the fact and discovered a huge group in our society that opted for this form of progressive love, and no doubt felt repressed by petty kkkonservatives, who didn't respect them, as they do not everything else. After classifying this new progressive group of single, love-independent Americans as HBO-Americans, I tried improvising an emergency speech of empowerment.
I didn't mean to offend a single battery of your appliances, fellow progressive Americans. Since you know what it is to be targets of petty prejudice, please understand how HBO-Americans must have been feeling until recently, without the protective support of Party officials, and please take into consideration the improvised compliments I made to the love choice of others that up to this very moment suffered what you did suffer.
I really never meant anything negative about the usage your beloved Appliances make of batteries. Whatever negative I had in mind actually related to the cold fact that you have to pay for them, something which our Party finds preposterous, and has been trying to solve since the glorious day in which it was founded. (How monstrous! To have to pay for the right to love!!!) In a better society, you'd not be treated this way. And it was in this same sense that I called them "capitalistic"! Comrades!... in no way have I meant the appliances themselves, but the accidental evil profit that capitalist exploiters and oppressors grant themselves by selling them batteries!!! The fact that you have to give dollars to capitalists for the right to love is not your fault, it is not your appliances' fault, and please, comrades, don't think it is mine. We all know whose it is. My mistake was to have confused the evil that giving dollars to capitalists perpetrates with the innocent appliances they sell batteries for.
The fact that again I tried to give an improvised flash of comparative happiness to HBO-Americans by saying that appliances were eco-unfriendly, please take it as proof of my technological anachronism of twenty years on ice. I thought I had then just stated a sad but common-knowledge fact. But after research, I know that now much has changed. The material used in your appliances is recyclable and, often, recycled. They are now eco-friendly to their very progressive, Energizer-harbouring cores. I was ignorant, but now I saw the light.
Additionally, please consider my previous record of momentary flashes of synaptical instability, which lies on the desk of Commissar Pupovich. He can testify to the medicaments I have been taking and the improvements they have caused. The fact that Ludmilla Drago left me (as well as capitalist pig Balboa) for an appliance had probably taken over my subconscious mind as I improvised.
People!... Countrymen!... Progressive Americans!!! Please allow an old battered warrior of the People back to your embrace, and that of your appliances! Please allow this troubled but good-willed man your forgiveness. Please understand a cumbersome ad-lib from someone who had just discovered more Americans as oppressed as you, and wanted to ease their minds. What I did, I did for them, as I once did for you, and as I do everyday for The Children!, with each autograph I humbly sign with my battered hands.
<tears rolling from eyes>
I thank you for your understanding.

Party Diplomat Ivan Drago
Please, stay away from the pen! No! NOT THE PEN!!!
phew...

Which reminds me Chairman, I have not heard anything about Helen as of late. Do we know where she is?
Red Square
The KGB file on "Meowism" has a record of comrade toaster Helen<3, former life-partner of Chairman Punchenko, sleeping with the microwaves at the bottom of the Potomac river. Replaced with Comrade Hoover vacuum cleaner who is currently fulfilling Chairman's erotic needs.
As we know, some of our more savvy comrades have more equal erotic needs than others, whereby internal Hate-Bush-Orgasm (HBO) cannot be induced without an external appliance. Please make a record of it.

Noted. Ah, the good ol' party, never lose track of anyone or anything, execpt for untold millions and billions of tax dollars.
Marshal Pupovich
Chairman Meow, while we are coming clean, I would like to confess my failure to have notified you in triplicate and immediately correcting Party Diplomat Drago before you had to be exposed to such a comment about Appliance Americans. As an Appliance American myself, I should have responded much more forcefully to try and mitigate any disturbance to your peace. I bow to the justice and power of your Red Pen. My only real excuse is that I knew Party Diplomat Drago was suffering from mental stress for which he is being treated, and the fact that Bush lied.
Party Diplomat Ivan Drago
<trembling desperately>
Yes!, yes! Bush lied! Bush lied!
