Mr Arbuthnot,

As you have been my elected representative for several years and achieved nothing for me, I wonder if you might be interested in taking part in the protest against Mr Bush's visit, as detailed at:
http://www.bloggerheads.com/can_weblogs/bush_bum.asp
Specifically the idea:

If you hear of a visit to your part of town or happen to see George W Bush, bare your arse in his general direction. Don't be afraid to wiggle it about a bit and maybe even spread your cheeks; this is a political statement you're making and you don't want to do things by halves, now do you?


I would be delighted to publicise this action on your behalf.

Be sure to let me know.

Ken Phillips

Dear Mr Phillips,

It's November.  Certainly not.

You may be working on the basis that a bum in the hand is worth two in the bush, but I'm otherwise engaged (representing you - sorry.)

Yours sincerely,

James Arbuthnot
