Dear Barry

Liverpool

El día siguiente a la toma de posesión de Barack Obama, Ross McGuinness del diario gratuito Metro (algo así como el 20minutos inglés) comentaba que es tradición que el presidente saliente deje una carta en el cajón de la mesa del despacho oval al presidente entrante, y decía que, como no había tenido acceso a la carta de Bush a Obama, reproduciría la que se imaginaba.
Mis risas leyéndola se oían al otro lado del pasillo, así que la comparto con vosotros. Perdonad que vaya en inglés, creo que es más graciosa así. Quería haberla traducido tras un "Leer más", pero a pesar de la ayuda de Rfa, no he sabido hacerlo, snif...Sé que parece muy larga, pero no se hace larga, creedme.


Dear Barry,
first and foremosting, I would like to congratulatise you on getting the job. It will be great to have someone come in and bring a finished completion to all the work I did. I have to warn you, though, Baz, being president isn't all laughs. There are a lot of boring speeches to sit through.
But I think you will make a great commander-in-chief. You've got what I've got -charismaticism. And that goes a long way. I also dig the way you got all those famous people on your side -they did'nt take much to me. But I like that Jon Bono Jovi who sang a few days before your augmentation -he's a good guy.

My daddy once told me: "Eat your vegetables, George Jnr." And he was right. Well, now it's my turn to give some advisementary words. Don't let people misunderestimate* you the way they misunderestimated me -I hope you don't misunderestimate what I'm getting at there, Baz. I know I used a lot of big words in that sentence.

Being the president is a bit like grabbing a bull by its horns -you gotta go up to that bull and grb its horns. In a metaphosphorical sense, of course. If you grab a real bull by the horns you won't be the president for too long. You should maybe write that one down.

I've left you some pretzels on my desk and, before I forget, I've also left you a crisis in the Middle East and a bad economy -In London, Engerland, they're calling that a "credit crunch". Ain't that cute? Sounds like a breakfast cereal to me, Baz. Next time you're in No1, Downing Street, tell Gordon Ramsay** I said "hi".

So I guess that's all I got for ya. I know you'll be a super leader. They made a movie about me after my eight years were up, so if they do the same with you I guess you'll know you've done a good job. Good luck, Baz!


Yours facefully,
Dubya (spelt with a "W")

*Esto es verdad; George W. Bush dijo que sentía que le habían "misunderestimated", palabra que, si existiera, significaría "infravalorar erróneamente" -es decir, que no le habríamos infravalorado todo lo que merecía. En eso igual tenía razón.
**Gordon Ramsay es un cocinero muy famoso y mediático del Reino Unido.
