Citizen Cheney
An open letter to Rep. Liz Cheney, aka ‘smokin Liz’
August 16
Evenin’ Liz,
You don’t know me. I didn’t vote for you today, ’cause I don’t reside in Wyoming. In fact, the closest I ever got to Wyoming or for that matter the closest I ever got to your political perspective was in high school debate team when I drew the side to argue in favor of canceling social security ’cause it cost too much. Did I miss that the closest I got to Wyoming was the time I crossed the Mississippi on the way to Minneapolis? Never west of the Twin Cities have I ventured. My bad!
‘Anywho’…the fact our paths haven’t crossed is probably good for both of us. But, Liz… wait, don’t count me out…I am a fan!
You’re one cool lady!
I liked the way you told off Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
I liked the way you put Cipollone and the other dithering J6 Republican witnesses in their place (1).
I liked the way you held forth at the J6 Hearings for 9 minutes without asking a question. Sounded like you had a good idea about what you were speaking. Made me proud to breathe the same air as you, as smelly as it seems nowadays.
I liked the way you let Cassidy Hutchinson clear the air for a while and let the sunshine in.
I like the way you brought to the hearings all those Republicans who are now lookin’ for a job. (2) Including yourself.
But heh, what’s all this hoopla’ about getting elected anyway? Nowadays it seems what gets you elected is a pile of cash and the blessing from the Cardinal of Mar-a-Lago. There’s more patriotism in the folks wearing the lanyard id’s, you know, the career government service workers, than the folks arriving in ‘swampyville’ with the bags of cash.
But though tonight you might not be ‘smokin Liz’ you sure qualify to be our smoldering’ Liz, cause’ lady, you ain’t finished yet, nor is America finished with you.
Report has it that what first got you stoked were the public testimonies of Marie Abramovitch and Alexander Vindman. (3) My tax dollars are well spent if a portion goes towards providing armed security for you folks.
’Cause you know, Lady Liz, if Marie and Alexander got you stoked, you are stokin’ somebody else tonight. Someone, somewhere is choosin’ to blow the whistle over pleading the fifth to expose the grievous state of affairs we find ourselves in. And to demand solutions.
And the good part is you don’t have to get elected to get your voice heard.
They didn’t.
You didn’t.
So, no ridin off into the Wyoming sunset for you, Lady Liz. I think you’re just gettin’ started.
Respectfully,
A fellow citizen
