Bush went down to Virginia to have dinner with Colin Powell ??

[kentuck]

Why ?

Because he is such a close friend? I doubt it. More likely, what can you do for me?

"Colin, the press is trying to give me a hard time on this Downing Street memo stuff, so you're highly respected within both Parties, so I need to ask you a favor...Don't mention this to Laura..she gets all worried that they are going to impeach me or something....but if you get a chance to go on the Comedy Show...I hear that's one of the most popular shows in America... I'd appreciate it if you could straighten them out on this DSM memo stuff.."

"George, I'll call my agent and have them call Jon Stewart and see if I can get on sometime next week. I'll make a point to minimize the DSM. You can depend on me. After all, I went before the UN and covered for all your lies. I'm too far in to turn back now..."

1. Actually............

Virginia is just across the river from DC, and Powell's house is only about 15 minutes from the White House.

Powell's the good little water-carrier. Always was.

4. 15 minutes from the White House?

That's nice and close.

7. Everything's close around here

I'm 15 minutes from the White House right now.

2. That is exactly whatI thought. Powell was the one who brought it up,

It was obvious he was trying to premptively address it.
AS if the very thought of it was ridiculous.

3. He probably found out Colin was going on the Daily Show

But he had nothing to worry about--Colin's too good a solider not to toe the line. For now...

5. Bush can no longer stand alone and make a comment. He has to

deny DSM in the presence of someone more believable like Blair. Or he has to dine with Powell. The President has used up all his trust. By LYING all the time!!!

6. Hey Colin, it looks like Bolton is out. Can I give you the job?

8. With apologies to the Stephanie Miller Show

You lying mound of crap!
You lying mound of crap!
You phony, scheming
low-down, steaming
