Bush, Cheney lose bid to wear fake nose, glasses (Toronto Star)

[stevedeshazer]

The 9/11 commission, which Condeleezza Rice went before last week, is so desperate to hear President George W. Bush's version of events leading up to that terrible day that it has agreed to three of the president's conditions.

President Bush has said he's happy to appear before the commission, provided a) the session is behind closed doors, b) that Vice-President Dick Cheney appears with him and c) that neither of them be under oath.

<snip>

These are the other things President Bush wanted, but didn't get:

*That he and Cheney be allowed to wear false noses and glasses while testifying.

*That whatever side of him Cheney isn't sitting on, his mother Barbara be allowed to sit on the other.

*That the president and vice-president be allowed to answer all questions while crossing their fingers.

*That if the president gets a really tough question, he be allowed to use one of three lifelines. He can call a friend, other than Cheney, do a 50/50 and have two of four possible answers taken away, or be allowed to poll 1,000 typical Americans from heavily Republican states.

5. I'm trying to enjoy that the most feared man on the planet is now a joke.

Just a big Jay Leno chewy toy joke to the world and more and more Americans. Except for Afghans, Iraqis, and the US military.

It's kinda like Mel Brooks' 'The Producers.'
Mel always said that fascists can't stand being laughed at.

I was just a paper hanger
No one more obscurer

Got a phone call from the Reichstag
Told me I was Fuhrer

Germany was blue
What oh What to do

Hitched up my pants
And conquered France
Now Deutschland's shining through!

And...now...it's......Springtime...for Hitler...and Germany!
