Meanwhile, back at the ranch ....

"I would suggest moving back," Bush said as he climbed into the cab of a massive D-10 tractor. "I'm about to crank this sucker up." As the engine roared to life, White House staffers tried to steer the press corps to safety, but when the tractor lurched forward, they too were forced to scramble for safety."Get out of the way!" a news photographer yelled. "I think he might run us over!" said another. White House aides tried to herd the reporters the right way without getting run over themselves. Even the Secret Service got involved, as one agent began yelling at reporters to get clear of the tractor. Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor's window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.

1. This is the perfect metaphor for how Bush has run the country.

"Look out below, I'm firing this thing up."

"Mr. President, do you know how to operate this thing."

"No. RTFM is for wussies."

Just add in the topic, Iraq, the economy, etc. It fits for all.

Sorry, I have no sympathy for the press corps. They have been covering up for him too long.

6. My thoughts exactly. Bush running over a group of members of the press is the perfect definition of

irony.

4. Just to clarify, this wasn't at the ranch, it was at a Catepillar factory

in Illinois. But I just couldn't resist using the ranch phrase.
