Would You Buy an Invisible Bag of Shit from this Man?

On a dare from Bush, Rumsfeld tries to sell a invisible bag of shit to the American People, via Congress, as shown in this picture.



"I hold here in my hands an invisible bag of shit, which I will now sell you ..." he began.

To put this whole thing in context, Rumsfeld has called for what he hopes to be a continuous and indefinite state of war. Publicly, he euphemistically refers to it as the “long war.” Fly-On-the-Wall tells Rory that a Memorandum entitled “Strategies for Provoking the Enemy Into Behavior Justifying Increases in Defense Spending, Fear, and Eternal Fighting” has been placed in the Inbox on Rumsfeld’s desk and includes, among other things, a proposal to publish degrogatory cartoons of Muhammed on Government operated blogs “24-7.”

The Long War Memo states in part: "Anyone who argues against publication of such cartoons will be derided as an opponent of free speech and freedom itself. Meanwhile, as recent events have demonstrated, highly publicized acts by a relatively small numbers of fanatics will excite the fears and fighting instincts of those who watch their violent antics. If such fears and instincts are kept in continuous state of high arousal, substantial support for continuous and eternal war should be achievable in our lifetimes."

During discussions on how to market an eternal state of war to the American People at which some advisers expressed skepticism, Rumsfeld said, “I’m not really worried. I believe I have the skills to sell them an invisible bag of shit and leave them feeling better for having bought it."

On a positive note, recent polls show that the number of American citizens who say they would be willing to buy an invisible bag of shit if the Bushcheney administration said it was good for them and bad for terrorists has now dropped to its lowest level since 9/11.
