Politico of the Day - KSM

The Gidiot

For almost eight years, Colorado Congressman Thaddeus Emory Gideon's staff appended the letters KSM to all of his official correspondence.

For that same eight year period, Gideon always got quizzical looks when he publicly stated that he was extremely proud to have been "so recognized by our little British cousins." Although 10 Downing Street's official response was...

"Honor the little man? We've never even heard of him."

This was, of course, before he called for severed relationships with the British because they had the audacity to audit the expenses of British Members of Parliament (MPs) and take punitive action against miscreants.

Shortly after that debacle, an unidentified staff member placed the following note on his desk.

"Dear Gidiot,
KSM is not an honor from the British government. It stands for King, Sphynctorical Memoranda because you are always blowing smoke out of your ass.
