so lemme get this straight...

mike "i know a lot more about arabian horses than i know about disaster recovery" brown resigns and that's supposed to appease the critics???...as if anyone with half a brain won't see through this scapegoat smokescreen???...i can see the scenario so sharply in my mind...

(in the oval office)
bush: well ya know there michael i've been taking a lot of heat from the public about this here katrina thing. with these confirmation hearings for my religio-fascist judges coming up, i can't be saddled, get it mikey..."saddled" (snicker snicker snicker) with this antelope around my neck...

brown: errr...that's albatross your holiness...

bush: antelope...albatross...they're both birds...you get my drift...

brown: (stares at bush with disdain)

bush: so we gotta have someone take the fall.

brown: and that "someone" would be me right???

bush: absotootyrootytutley (snicker snicker snicker). this whole katrina thing has really done a number on my approval rating and i gotta be able to govern ya know. i gotta install a puppet government in iraq...i gotta make sure the poor people stay poor...i gotta help hearken the age of the apocalypse...and i gotta invade venezuala so i can restart my oil drilling business...besides...i hear the canals there are wonderful.

brown: eeerrrrrr...that's venice your supreme rulingness.

bush: venice...venezuala...they're both in europe right...anyways...you're just gonna hafta take the bullet on this one miko-rama.

brown: and what am i supposed to do in the meantime?

bush: no worries browny boo...we got it all figerred out. first, we're gonna put you on the board of directors of haliburton. with the incentive package and the fact that they're gonna get 64% of the "rebuild new orleans" contracts, you'll be high on the jambalaya (snicker snicker snicker). then, i'm gonna talk to my boys over there at fox to get you a publishing deal so you can write a tell all expose on how it's all mayor nagin's fault. see???...so you can have your cake and bake it too...(snicker snicker snicker)...

brown: that's eat it el numero uno.

bush: whatever...
