 The Bush Brain Trust Reacts To Fake Iraq Victory (Washington,
D.C.) Soon to be ex-President Bush held a press conference today
denying that he initially supported a fake "New York Times" story
declaring the Iraq War to be over because he was pulling out U.S.
forces. "Let me just say that unlike others I have run against I was
always against this fake pullout before I supported it. Wait, no. What
I meant to say was that I'm for our men and women in the armed forces
to be brought home but not on a fake time table before fake
victory...or something like that but real not fake." The press conference was a reaction to a fake "New York
Times" paper published by the liberal group Yes Men. Over one million
copies were distributed nationally through a volunteer network. The
"paper" took eight months to plan and had stories allegedly contributed
by three dozen writers, some from major metropolitan dailies.
It seems that while he was in New York City, where many of the fake
newspapers were distributed, for the re-dedication of the aircraft
carrier Intrepid, soon to be ex-President Bush came across the "paper".
John Searle, a Waldorf-Astoria doorman, was approached by soon to be
ex-President Bush with the paper tucked under his arm. Searle recounted
the story for a Reuters' interview. "He said to me, 'Jim', though I
told him my name was John, 'Joseph, take a look at this headline. Let's
see them give me a seventy-six percent disapproval rating now. Like
Nathan Chamberlain, I have brought you peace in my time.'" The moment
would have gone unnoticed except for the next turn. "The President then
said to me 'Jacob, this is a Kodak moment." Soon to be ex-President
Bush asked Searle to take a picture. However, Searle went a step
further, making a video on his cell phone and posting it on YouTube.
When asked by the press if he believed the story to be false, why did
he make a video holding up the "paper" shouting "Up yours, Obama," soon
to be ex-President Bush was direct. "Have you ever heard of that
technique where you say one thing but mean another. It's called satire.
I was being satritierical." A follow-up question was then asked. Was
the soon to be ex-President being "satritierical" when he again
mentioned it during a CNN interview? "You folks are being way too
liberal, and no I don't mean literal. Do you think I wouldn't remember
giving an order to pull all U.S. forces out of Iraq? I may be stupid,
but I'm not crazy. No, wait. I don't mean stupid. I mean...how about
that Sarah Palin? Now there's something I wouldn't pull out of."
Sarah Palin was reserving comment until someone explained to her what the metaphor meant.
