CBS apologizes for boob-baring segment in Super Bowl pregame show
Edited on Mon Feb-02-04 07:15 PM by Purrfessor
NEW YORK (AP) - CBS apologized Monday for a boob-baring interview it aired with President Bush during Sunday's Super Bowl pregame show. Barely able to hold his head up, an obviously sleepy Bush spoke briefly of drugs and the use of steroids by athletes.

When asked to comment on the war in Iraq and the US failure to find WMD, the President insisted that media reports stating that America had preemptively attacked Iraq were based entirely on faulty reporting.

"I know for a fact," said Bush, "that most of the reporters who write such nonsense are heavy abusers of steroids. War in Iraq? America never went to war in Iraq."

CBS spokeswoman LeslieAnne Wade apologized to viewers, saying that, "While we heard rumors that when it comes to President Bush's mental capacity, he is somewhat under-endowed, we had no idea that he would expose himself as such a boob. We plan to take every precaution to ensure that this doesn't happen again."

FCC Chairman Michael Powell has promised to investigate this incident to determine how a question that had not been pre-approved by the President's chief political adviser, Karl Rove, managed to make it into the interviewer's list of questions.
