To the editor:Ladies and Gentlemen, Round 4: the Buco/Shakir rumble continues ... Ding! Buco's on the mat, but suddenly a stooge from Greenland jumps in the ring, locking Shakir in the classic rope a dope. Bang, Bada-Bing! Greenland hits him with charges of being crude, ignorant, disrespectful, a fabricator, unappreciative, accusatory and "shockingly" critical of the tireless work of His Majesty, Tom Buco. Shakir staggers. But does the interlopers assault have the desired effect? Does he score points by specifically detailing where Shakir the ungrateful barbarian screwed up? Does he articulate the challengers deceit? Are examples punched out detailing Democ-rat accomplishments? How they've preserved New Hampshire as the envy of the nation? Promoters of personal liberty and fiscal responsibility, free enterprise and non-intervention? Does he pummel the underdog by citing Democ-rat ideals as interpreted by their chosen Presidential candidate Borat Hussein O'Bummer a responsible patriotic American or perhaps a radical, subversive, con-artist fraud? No, he simply offers the same tired, cry baby, government dominated Democ-rat illogical stupidity.Shakirs volley was a direct response to Bucos below the belt assault; a fact the stooge from Greenland conveniently omitted. So, lets let the judges decide the merits of this one. Meanwhile, Shakir bounces off the ropes and deals the Greenland interloper a punishing blow, knocking him out of the ring. The purveyor of unsolicited and unsubstantiated charges, propaganda and deception is decked ... Ding! Buco is saved by the bell, on the mat but still stirring. Round 5? Let's dance!
