Re: An orderly transition

I hope you will pardon my hacking into your AOL account, particularly given your recent troubles in that regard, but I’d like for the two of us to create a back-channel means to communicate in the weeks ahead.

I think it’s in our nation’s best interests if you and I begin planning for the official transfer of power now. Are you available to meet me at my secure, undisclosed location — say, noon-ish Friday?

By the way, I applaud your use of a personal e-mail account to discuss state business. Very Rovian. And I fully understand your choice. The wolves in the liberal media elite and the so-called “good government” groups and the liberal judges are all so adamant about preserving every doodle, scribble and rendition order from my office that I’m also forced go to extraordinary means to safeguard the public’s business from prying eyes.

When you’re here, please remind me to introduce you to Ralph, a trusted aide who shreds and eats all of my important documents. You should get to know him.
