V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.
Justice: Good evening, V.
V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...
Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.
V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."
V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.
Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!
V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!
V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.
Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...
V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!
V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.
V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.
Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?
V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.
*KABOOM!*

oh and the McCain team don't like it
Date: 2008-09-16 02:31 am (UTC)So ironic in so many ways.
On MSNBC this afternoon, McCain adviser Carly Fiorina decried Tina Fey’s portrayal of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live as “sexist.” (http://thinkprogress.org/2008/09/15/fiorina-rips-tina-fey%E2%80%99s-portray-of-palin-as-%E2%80%98dismissive%E2%80%99-and-%E2%80%98sexist%E2%80%99/)
Re: oh and the McCain team don't like it
Date: 2008-09-16 06:48 am (UTC)Of course, Tine Fey must be shot and burned at the stake for taking a punch at the Future-To-Be President. Because that is Democracy.
Oh, Satire is always the funniest when the people being satirized don't get it.
Though it's interesting to note that Palin herself found it funny, shows she at the very least has a sense of humour if nothing else.
Re: oh and the McCain team don't like it
Date: 2008-09-16 06:52 am (UTC)I should probably quit that.
I'm starting to believe that liberal is a dirty word.
Re: oh and the McCain team don't like it
Date: 2008-09-16 06:54 am (UTC)Only if it has the prefix "neo".
Re: oh and the McCain team don't like it
Date: 2008-09-16 06:59 am (UTC)But never neo liberal.
I've learnt something new.
Re: oh and the McCain team don't like it
Date: 2008-09-16 07:04 am (UTC)Neo-Con is a very USian thing. Neo-Liberal is used everywhere and by everywhere I mean I've read it and hard the phrase on non-US News outlets and blogs.
And have used it myself, since I know what it means far better than Neo-Con, which strikes me as very US colloquial.
