I'm particularly glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.
[townspeople murmur and nod in approval]

Gabby Johnson: Hey! The president's a nig...
[Clock bell chimes]
Harriet Johnson: What did he say?
Dr. Sam Johnson: He said the president's near.
Gabby Johnson: No, gone blame it dang blammit! The president is a nig...
[Clock bell chimes again]

     Waldo, ever one to advance the public discourse, invited Mr. Speight to write in and explain how the President should have done the job on OBL. Extra points for why the former President, Mr. Bush, should have done it.
