Perhaps George W. Bush is not as divorced from reality as he frequently appears. Why, just yesterday, appearing at a Republican fundraiser in Chicago, he wowed the audience by demonstrating his ability to distinguish between a politician and a balloon. Speaking of his embattled comrade, Speaker of the House Dennis Hazmat, the President sagely noted that “he’s not one of these Washington politicians who spews a lot of hot air.â€? Bush then went on to give an uplifting speech in which he touted what a heckuva job the Rebumblicans have been doing and how they are clearly the “best to protect youâ€? (unless “youâ€? happen to be a congressional page). He asserted that “we’re keeping steady pressure on a group of people who would want to do America harmâ€?—by which, of course, he was referring to the Democrats, of whom he actually said, “they can run…but we’re not going to let them hide.â€? As to what the majority party will do with all those tax-loving, terrorist-abetting unAmericans once they nab them, rumor has it that Halliburton has received a no-bid contract to build internment camps in which to house the Dems. Be afraid; be very afraid.
