Somewhere in the depths of the Washington Post news Room a phone rings…..
(ring, ring)
(Post reporter): Hello, this Sam (all good reporters are named Sam)
(voice): Hi my name is American Spirit.
(Post reporter): OK
(American Spirit): I've got information about a scheme by Bush and Cheney to jack up energy prices and gouge the American people.
(Post Reporter): That's interesting, fuel prices have been coming down?
(American Spirit): Look it's true. Since Bush has been in office, he and Cheney have gotten together with oil producers to control prices
(Post Reporter): That would be OPEC.
(American Spirit): Yeah those guys.
(Post Reporter): But that's what OPEC does. They've been around since the '60's
(American Spirit): Look don't confuse me with the facts! Bush and Cheney are behind it!
(Post Reporter): Oil prices have been rising since '97, and actually have been coming down since Bush has been in office?
(American Spirit): Look I told you not to confuse me with the facts. They're also in on natural gas.
(Post reporter): Let me see, Natural Gas peaked last December/January and actually have dropped dramatically since then. President Clinton was in office.
(American Spirit): Do I have to say it again? Don't confuse me with the facts. If you investigate this you'll be bigger than Tracey and Hepburn!
(Post Reporter): You mean Bernstein and Woodward?
(American Spirit): Yeah, those guys.
(Post Reporter): Are you a member of the Religious Left?
(American Spirit): No, I'm a conservative, I voted for Condit, honest.
(Post Reporter): Ok, we'll get right on it.
(American Spirit): Thanks this is huge. Goodbye.
(Post reporter): Bye.
(hangs up phone)
Somewhere in California, American Spirit thinks to himself " Finally someone will find out what kind of fruitcake Bush really is.
Somewhere in the depths of the Washington Post News room:
(Joe): Sam who was that?
(Sam): Just some California Fruitcake, fugit about it.
(Joe): 'k |
