Current Affairs Essay

The Presidential Press Conference That Never Was   continued

PB: Well, all I can say is, uh… Mission accomplished! No, wait … Stay the course!

J #4: Mr. President, isn't it a fact that Fox news is really a propaganda arm of your administration? And isn't it true that since you have been in office, you and Karl Rove have intimidated and manipulated the mainstream news media so much that they are no longer a credible source of news and information?

PB: I kinda like that O'Reilly guy-- and Sean Hannity, too! The rest of the reporters-- I don't really think about them.

J #4: Like you don't think about Osama bin Laden.

GB: There ya go! Now you're catching on.

J #5: Speaking of bin Laden, are you ever going to answer all the questions about 9/11 and how your administration may have been complicit in its planning and execution?

GB: Well, heh, heh, why would we want to do something like that?

J #5: Because prior to 9/11, your popularity was dropping like a rock and you wanted to distract individuals from the stolen presidential election of 2000. In addition, you needed a national catastrophe to unify the country behind you so you could promote your corporate fascist agenda.

GB: Heh, heh, you got quite an imagination, boy! I'd have to be a real ruthless sombitch to do something like that. What's your name anyway? Scotty, make sure you get this boy's name and give it to Karl… This press conference is over!
