Up is Down President

John W. Sammon
The up is down president.

George Bush said the National Intelligence Estimate Report, which said our actions in Iraq were only furthering the development of worldwide terrorism, was wrong. The report, which came out in April, was held in secret until it was declassified Monday.

As always, George disagreed, just like he has with every finding about his handling of foreign policy because he’s never had a good one. Not once. Never.

Whatever you say George. Up is down, square is round, black is white. If you say it is.

Hey George! The sun came up yesterday.

No it didn’t George says. I didn’t see it come up. Did you see it come up? You’re just playing politics.

George accuses anybody who criticizes him of “playing politics.” Don’t dare criticize our elected officials for their performance of their jobs, or you’ll be accused of playing politics.

We’re accomplishing the opposite of what we wanted in the Middle East.

Every time a government report says Bush did the wrong thing, he denies it. How can you deal with somebody like this? You can’t. If I told George it’s as plain as the nose on my face, he’d say, what nose? I don’t see a nose. You don’t have a nose. You don’t because I say so. You don’t have a nose. That’s not a nose. That’s a lump with two holes.

The president is incapable of making a mistake. He’s incapable of error. And even if he was wrong..he’s still right. He’s God. George is God.

There is no possibility an American president could be wrong.

Up is down. Remember that. The truth is what ever I say it is. Remember that!

The question is, how long will Bush get away with denying the truth? As long as the American people tolerate it.

Bush has dug himself into a hole and can’t admit it. Hole? What hole? I don’t see a hole.

The one you’re standing in.

That’s just because I’m short. Actually, it’s a depression. Not a hole. There’s a difference. I can show progress with a depression. I can see we’re making progress.

Well, you’ve painted yourself into a corner.

Corner? What corner? This isn’t a corner. Do you think this is a corner just because two walls at right angles come together here? This isn’t a corner. This is a V. Actually, we’ve turned a corner.

You can’t deal with a person like this. It’s a form of madness.

The earth is round.

No it isn’t.

But if George can do it, so can I.

We’re winning the war, George says.

What war? I say. I don’t see a war. Do you see a war?
