(The “if all else fails or the indictment has been prepared and is ready to be delivered” excuse, no doubt…)See, Mr. President, let me try and explain this to you in language you might understand.
See, our spies help protect us from the bad people. That makes spies the good people, see? Just like us. The spies get information on the bad people so they don’t do bad things. That protects the good people, and we’re all the good people.
When you say it’s OK for someone in your administration to tell a reporter the identity of a spy, that means the spy is found out, so the spy can’t get information on the bad people any more to protect the good people, see? That means the good people are less safe and there’s a lot more spies trying to get information on the bad people to protect the good people who are plenty pissed off, so they may not get as much information on the bad people to protect the good people, see?
I realize these sentences are probably too big for you, and I don’t have one of those cheesy backgrounds with the phrases you like printed all over the place so that when the TV cameras film you, the only picture we get is of you trying to look intelligent with the background and the phrase repeated a zillion times since you think we’re all as dumb as you and we won’t get the concept the first 10, 15, or 20 times you try to shove it down our throats. I know that makes it difficult for you to comprehend what I’m saying.
But try, for God’s sake. Is that really so much to ask?
