Fatty Hicks betrays supporters (hilarious Tim Blair smackdown)
2007-03-31
DEAR David Hicks/Abu Muslim Australia/Abu Muslim Australii/Abu Muslim Philippines/Mohammed Dawood/Ade Laide Daewoo/Ali Baba Yabba Dabba Doo,
We the undersigned wish to register our anger and disgust at your guilty plea before the unlawful kangaroo court convened illegally at the unconstitutional Guantanamo Bay gulag by illicit operatives of unelected US imperialist-in-chief George Warpig Bush.
We've worked long and hard to secure your freedom only to have you throw all our effort down the toilet by ... attempting to secure your freedom. The injustice is sickening.
While we were fiercely protesting the endless delays to your court appearance and bravely ignoring the fact these delays were caused by your own legal team, you were apparently plotting all along to plead guilty in a sinister bid to return as quickly as possible to Australia.
All of us who campaigned so long for your quick return to Australia are reeling at this slap in the face.
Do you know how many people you've let down, David/Abu/Mohammed/Ade/Ali?
Think about the poor protesters in Brisbane who were chanting and shrieking and carrying on as best they could when news reached them of your craven cave-in.
According to one heartbreaking media report: "Anti-war protesters in orange jumpsuits marching in Brisbane's city centre Tuesday were stunned by the news of David Hicks' guilty plea ... there was a palpable air of disappointment among those who had vigorously campaigned to bring Hicks home.''
Your attempt to be brought home has palpably - palpably! - disappointed them.
All they wanted from you, David, was for you to stay in your cell so they could keep agitating for your freedom. Now they have nothing.
And what's the deal with you showing up in court all fat and jolly? We've been banging on for years here about how you're emaciated and hollow-cheeked and pale from lack of sunlight, and then you go and turn up looking ... well, let's quote a few witnesses here:
"Chubby.''
"Puffy.''
"(Like) a small version of Ozzy Osbourne.''
"Overweight.''
"Fitter.''
"Tanned.''
Man, thanks so much for all of that, Dave. You know, it was only in January you were telling your lawyers Guantanamo Bay was "like a Nazi concentration camp''.
Turns out you were staying in the only Nazi concentration camp on Earth where a five-year stay not only keeps you alive but makes you put on weight (10 kilos, according to most reliable accounts).
Were Bush's minions torturing you with pies? Did they subject you to the dreaded bernaise sauce treatment?
Knowing you'd be facing court and the world media, was it too much to ask that you just say no to a fourth creme brulee?

We the undersigned are revolted and upset and, to be brutally honest, now drooling with hunger like old labradors.
But our problems amount to nothing compared to the nightmare your steadfast supporter Kevin Rudd must now endure.
Labor leader Rudd - a good man, a kind man, a Hicks man - has barracked for you ceaselessly.
And what have you done to him with your selfish guilty plea? Why, you've turned him into some type of babbling wordspout.
Just look at what Rudd had to say after you had 'fessed up:
"On the question of the detail of what Mr Hicks has pled and what response will be delivered to that in terms of the next stage of the legal process on the settlement of the facts and on the determination of any sentence and on the application of any appeal process, let alone the application of the International Prisoner Transfer Agreement which might flow from that, these are all delicate processes still to be worked through.''
Read that again, if you can, David, through your burning tears of shame. Those aren't the words of a smooth-talking soon-to-be prime minister, the sort of clever fellow able to easily exchange bons mot even with David Koch.
These are the words of a man pushed to the point of madness by your duplicity. Like all of us, Rudd thought he could trust you.
Did you know that Rudd lives in a car? Kind of puts your situation in perspective, doesn't it. He lives in a car because non-Muslim capitalists forced him from his land like a common Palestinian refugee.
And another thing, Mr Hicks/Australia/Australii/Philippines/Dawood/Daewoo/Doo _ if indeed that is your real name - our feminist sisters in Dykes for David want to have a quiet word about this letter of yours to an old flatmate: "Listen, have you got any friends I can f... when I get home? They have to be good-looking and I prefer big tits as well. Well, send their photos with the letters so I can check them out ...''
You'll wish you were back in Gitmo once the sisterhood gets through with you, David.
As do we all.
Yours in perpetual struggle,
The Free David Hicks Coalition
Hicks Liberation Front
The Coalition for Freeing David Hicks
Hicks for the Senate
United People for the Freedom of David Hicks

Reminds me a lot of the letdown for Hawash's supporters when he pled guilty. Perhaps they can set up a mutual comiseration/support group.
