Bush Urges Nation To Be Quiet For A Minute While He Tries To Think
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/52106

WASHINGTON, DC—In a nationally televised address Monday, President Bush urged all citizens, regardless of race, creed, color, or political affiliation, "to quiet down for just one minute" so he could have "a chance to think."

In a televised address to the nation, Bush called for "a little peace and quiet."
"Every American has an inalienable right to free speech and self-expression," Bush said. "Nonetheless, I call upon the American people to hold off on it for, say, 60 seconds. Just long enough for me to get this all sorted out in my head."

<snip>
Capitol Hill Democrats, however, have criticized Bush's call for silence, with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calling it "yet another example of Bush's inability to connect with everyday Americans, many of whom rarely, if ever, receive a moment to themselves."

1. Interesting that I wasn't sure whether this was a joke!
And anyway, Georgie needs more than a minute! He took his brain out to play with it and now he can't find it.

2. Such a visionary, such a strong leader.
He'll get it. I, myself, don't remember how My Pet Goat ended. Give him his 60 seconds.

3. Peace and quiet? Is that what he wants?
Well, I think we should give it to him....behind bars!
