President George W. Bush
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Washington, DC 20500
Dear President Bush,
I just bought a Dixie Chicks CD today. I never heard them before, but with all the publicity, I was curious. They’re pretty good. You oughtta check ‘em out!
Also, recently a friend of mine had his 80th birthday. For the party, I bought a case of champagne. I have to admit, I got French champagne. I hope you don’t mind. I couldn’t resist--the French really know how to make champagne. If you ever start drinking again, you oughtta try it.
Back to the Dixie Chicks--I have an idea you can use if you want. You should go on Barbara Walters or Diane Sawyer or some Fox show and announce that the Dixie Chicks make you embarrassed to be a Texan! That would be a turnaround, wouldn’t it? You could say that from now on you will align yourself with your birthstate, Connecticut. Also, that way Dick Cheney wouldn’t have to pretend to be from Wyoming anymore--he could tell the truth that he’s from Texas and still be your running mate.
Sorry I didn’t think of it before your Brokaw interview--you could have used it then. How did that go? I missed it because I was watching Bill Moyers.
God Bless America! (England, too.)
