Captain President?
The following letter, penned by a Mister Raymond Gilbert of Lansdale, Pennsylvania, appeared in the November 19, 2007, National Review:
"I am greatly distressed by the indulgence National Review has shown Republican presidential candidates of late ('A Second Look at McCain' by Kate O’Beirne, November 5). It has taken a heroic twisting of logic to produce some of the positive reviews that have appeared in your pages. Your lack of vision and leadership is stunning. NR has failed to support the clear alternative candidate that can return us to our conservative core — William Shatner.
"Mr. Shatner has a strong background in law enforcement (T.J. Hooker), extensive diplomatic experience (Star Trek), and proven leadership skills (Star Trek again). With worldwide popularity, Mr. Shatner is also the ideal candidate to rebuild the image of America that has been tarnished by the party of Halliburton."
Tee hee!
