SLIME: The Mar-a-Lardo Saga, Continued [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-09-05 Voiceover: We now return to the precincts of once-glamorous Mar-a-Lardo. Oh, how changed is the landscape. The Kraken summoned by the renowned jurist Sidney Powell has swept away a crowd of MAGA Trump supporters, journalists, and several Sheriff’s Deputies, and has carried them down to the lagoon’s depths for its unholy feast. The surge of slime left in the Kraken’s wake covers everything within sight of Mar-a-Lardo’s stately gates. Scene 1: Just outside the resort’s grounds, representing journalism at its finest, our intrepid newswoman Pat Peroxide is standing by, an eyewitness to the incredible events that unfolded here this evening: Pat Peroxide: This is Pat Peroxide from BSN, bringing you the latest update on the horrific events at Mar-a-Lardo! We don’t yet know what really happened here! I barely escaped from the tsunami of slime that rose up from the lagoon and swept away a large gathering of journalists, policemen, and fervent Trump supporters! As you can see, I am still covered in slime from this stunning event. But I am determined to stay and represent journalism at its finest— “my head is slimy but unbowed,” as America’s great poet Ralph Makepeace Longfellow once said. Brooks Brothels, a talking head on BSN: Pat, all of us here at BSN are inspired by your courageous decision to stay onsite and keep reporting on this awful calamity. My hat is off to you! And I’d just like to say … to me, you represent journalism at its finest. So—tell us what you know about these events. Peroxide: I just did, Brooks. Brooks: Yeah, we know, a tsunami of slime rose up from the lagoon and swept away a large gathering of journalists, policemen, and fervent Trump supporters! … But I think what most of our viewers would like to know is, How do you feel about what happened? What are your feelings right now? Peroxide: I don’t know … relief I guess, that it was me that survived … somewhat sad because I lost my keys and my new Ferragamos are ruined … Oh! and Of COURSE I’m SHOCKED and DEVASTATED by this HORRIBLE LOSS OF LIFE—there were such fine people on both sides! (sob) Brooks: I know all Americans are with us in mourning the loss of so many outstanding Florida citizens, simple, everyday folks like you and me, Pat. I have here with me Anodyne Pap, a popular psychologist who’s here to talk to us about coping with the trauma of unexplained viscous inundations. First we’ll take a quick commercial break, so stay with us. We’ll be right back! ……….. Scene 2: At the bottom of the Mar-a-Lago Lagoon, the Kraken is digesting its meal of MAGAs, TV journos, et al. Kraken: Burp. A three-foot surge caused by the burp bubble rolls toward the land, and over it. The surge catches intrepid reporter Pat Peroxide by surprise. She is washed out into the lagoon, where she sinks out of sight before anyone can save her. ……….. Scene 3: Well, we are back on the air at BSN, your rendezvous for news you can use! In the studio, anchors Brooks Brothels and Vanella DeOreo are talking to pop psychologist Anodyne Pap. Vanella: So, Anodyne, what can you tell us about what “happens” to us, psychology-wise, when slime inundates us? Pap: Most people first experience shock and dismay. Then, the denial sets in. The victims may think things like, “No, this isn’t happening to me,” or “If I close my eyes, this slime will go away.” But, you see, (smiling sadly) it won’t go away! Even after they shower and the slime is gone, the trauma remains. Often there is the tendency to blame themselves. And that’s where the pop-psychology professional comes in. We can talk the victim through his, her, or their crisis and help them to understand that slime can happen to anyone, that they did not “deserve” the slime, and help them to gradually restore their self-esteem! Brooks: That’s really amazing! Vanella: Just amazing. ……….. Scene 4: Inside the Mar-a-Lardo residence, Rudy Giuliani is still reeling from the shock of the slime inundation, which has poured in through the windows and doors, completely transforming Mar-a-Lardo’s tasteless yet opulent interior to a vulgar yet flamboyant interior coated with dank, malodorous slime. Giuliani: No, this isn’t happening to me. If I close my eyes, this slime will go away. ……….. Voiceover: And so, at this critical juncture, we bid adieu (for now) to the former glitz and glamor of legendary Mar-a-Lardo. Be sure to join us again soon for Episode 7 of...As the Worm Turns.
