Fools Part 3
I’ve attached the other two op-eds I just told you I would send, and I’ll leave you alone until you get in touch with me or I have another mini-chapter for you.
Was I blunt in calling Senator Hutchison dumb? Shucks, I didn’t mean it in a general sort of
way, so I take it back. I was just
feeling a bit slighted that you said you had twenty op-eds
pending that were just like mine, but that you were running Senator Kay’s stuff
on Iraq tomorrow. She’s a fine lady, as
far as I know (I’ve met her a couple of times, but who hasn’t?), it’s just that
she doesn’t know jack about anything military, so when you say you’re running
her piece for escalation over my piece for prudence you’re placing the advice
of those who want to send another division to Iraq over the advice of an expert

Yep, I’m the definition of someone who lacks what the prez calls moral

Talk to you in a month (unless you call me or someone

Reagan/Bush41, and he’s been following my theories since the day the camera
blinked – except for the Arab cameras, but they got blown up – when the
military said that
Two last things, then I’m gone. I’ve already seeded the DMN with the same stuff that scared the Chronicle over the long weekend, as well as other media great and small. I’m a media pro, so I take care of all my friends. Right now they are beginning to compare the emails, letters, essays and phone transcripts that make up my pending investigative classic, if the pending Congressional hearing doesn’t slow things down. It will make bigger news than Watergate, my publisher promises. We’ll see – both of us, that is, because you, Bob Moos, and the Dallas Morning Herald through you, are now a chapter. See ya at the investigation. I’ll either be wearing my dress blues with medals, or my black belt. You’ll know me either way, because I’ll be one talking to Congress. It won’t be hard. This book is my memorandum. Welcome.
