2. Well, they are kinda routine....

Things are, after all, routinely screwed up over there...

3. Meeting with chimpy's campaign manager?

No doubt.

4. "Paul, can we clean up this mess in time for the election?"

That will probably be the first thing out of Chimpy's mouth.

Of course they won't be able to clean up anything. It will be more like sweeping dust under the rug, stuffing the closets with junk, kicking clothes under the bed, then praying they can keep up appearances until after November.

10. Where's my cheeseburger?

I think you're wrong. I'll bet the first thing out of our fake president's mouth will be "Where's my cheeseburger?"

6. Does Bremer really have to fly halfway around the world...

...for 'routine consultations'?

We've been told over and over how Bush has a 2nd Oval Office outfitted with state of the art video conferencing gear in Crawford. Why can't they provide something like that to Bremer so he doesn't have to spend MY money flying back to DC just to talk?

Or do they need to talk about something more secret than they are willing to trust to telecom encryption? Weird...seems like a huge waste of money and effort (though that's not what seems weird...that's about par for the course).

11. When Bremer flies Over Here

it means there's trouble Over There. The last time he came turned out to be at HIS request. Things weren't so hunky dory in Iraq.

12. Bremer may be getting ready to spend more time with his family?

I saw a story somewhere that he wants out by this summer.
