Whether or not a supernanny could succeed in forcing President Bush to play nicely in a world that is not his private sandbox, though he appears to think it is, is another question, but it may well be worth a try at the very beginning of this second term to raise his consciousness and conscience to a new level.

“Sending him to sit on the naughty step, or taking away a favourite toy, like his coloring book, or denying him his favorite treats, like pretzels or playing Masters of the Universe on his Gameboy, might just work. http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i6225
