Cloak of a Patriot


Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel

--Samuel Johnson (1775)

Speaking of GWB's protective coloration in the previous post [Daddy Dearest], what with his flag lapel pin. . .

This weasel was recently spotted outside of the Crawford, Texas ranch. We hear they can be pretty vicious little critters, and sometimes find themselves at the wrong end of a determined varmint-hunter's barrel. So get a load of this one's get-up.


You may call him a weasel, but he knows which side of the bread is buttered.

  1. You fool! Didn't you learn anything from the DOD dolphin sonar experiments? These are no willing patriotic volunteers. They will be airdropped onto the strets of Tehran carrying tiny M-16's by year's end!

  3. Man, that pic had me laughing---you see I have pets that look terribly like that: ferrets. And while they are kleptomaniacs deluxe, they are much more honest and straight forward than anyone in this Administration.
    And so far....they haven't offered anyone $20 for illicit sex! I KNOW! Maybe we can train my 'stealth woozles' to counter the weasels of doom?

  4. labrys,

    I love it--stealthy stoats! They can have their own brigade, and I can see their patch now. . .

    Of course, they, too, must go undercover if they are enlisted.

    Hope the appeals worked out last night,

    L.

  5. Ahah! A new name for the horde...Stealthy stoats! We call them Wild Woozles, Fierce Ferrets, and so forth all the time. Undercover is what they do best.

    I have reason to believe our night appeal drew the proper attention. I hope we will see something shaking loose in time that seems "quick" to US.....that whole eternal clock moves soooo slowly.
