Bush Sits on Cheney's Lap before 9/11 Inquisition 04/30/04 OVAL OFFICE, WASHINGTON, DC Violating a longstanding security policy, the president and vice-president appeared together in the Oval Office today to testify before the 9/11 Inquisition. Due to the cramped quarters, President Bush and Vice President Cheney shared a bar stool at one end of the office while the Inquisitors sat on sofas and chairs at the other. The Inquisition peppered the dynamic duo with pointed questions, including an embarrassing personal question for Vice President Cheney. "Mr. Vice President, sir," wondered Inquisitor Jamie Gorelick. "Why is the president, ummm, sitting on your lap, sir?" Cheney then took a long drink of water as the president answered, "I am not sitting on the vice president's lap, nor on his finger, or hand, or fist, or any part of his forearm whatsoever. I am a real boy." Cheney refused to show his left arm throughout the three-hour ordeal, and Bush's performance was described as "jerky" and "wooden." "They were sitting together when we came in," noted an Inquisitor who asked to remain anonymous, "and they were sitting together when we left. Like they were connected at the hip. Or something. "But the strangest part was the president's voice. It was so high and squeaky, like Mickey Mouse's." Secretary of State Colin Powell reportedly watched the proceedings longingly, muttering to himself. "Damn that Cheney," Powell mumbled. "Always hogging the president's stool." ©2004 RealStupidNews.com
