Write Emperor Rick Scott, Supreme Ruler of All the Floridas, a Letter!
Recently, Stephen Colbert pointed out that our emperor...I mean, our governor here in Florida, Rick Scott---or as he's known in our household, "Rick with a silent 'p'"---has been encouraging his supporters to copy a form letter, intended for media outlets and created by the governor's office, that praises his many accomplishment(s). Colbert has countered with his own letter for Floridians to send in:
Dear Editor,It is my strong belief that Rick Scott is a(n) [adjective] governor. His letter praising himself makes me want to [verb] up. I [adverb] [verb] this great nation, and everyone should [verb] Rick Scott with a [noun] for a(n) [interjection ]full-body shave like a naked mole rat.Sincerely,[Name], [City]
I suggest we all do this---except you should also send it to Rick Scott, and post it on your blog while you're at it.Rick Scott has no accomplishments. On ideological grounds he rejected high-speed rail and the many jobs it represented, he has slashed state government to the bone as if those were not real jobs, and touted small gains of jobs coming to state as proof of his vision while the full tally is in the negative due to his efforts. Slashing education, slashing the safety net for those in our society who need it most. The cruelty is unbelievable. He seems set to put paid to what remains of our beautiful environment here, and in his remarks to African American legislators he proved himself to be an ass---at best. These are just a few of the ways in which he is probably the worst governor of Florida in the modern era. Unbelievably terrible. The capper is that he is one of those kind of people who cannot admit to mistakes, cannot apologize. Blech. This guy needs to be recalled.
