??Anyway, ? he said, ??although military men wanted to fight in Viet Nam, and military men want to fight in Goniffstan, they are different military men. So again there can be no analogy. ?
Your reporter concluded the interview by asking President Bombrack O'Bomber what he was going to do with his NoBull Peace Prize. ??Why, I'm going to put it right up there on the wall next to the three-foot high, two-foot wide, two-inch thick, solid gold award I got from the Wall Street World Class Talk Bureau for having -- and I quote -- ??the most golden tongue in the last half century combined with the longest period of no, little, or inadequate actions. And also with deep gratitude for putting Larry Summers and Tim Geithner in power while pretending that you did not become President to bail out Wall Street banks that caused the financial crisis.' I'm very proud of that award too -- although it is a little heavy when I wear it. Getting it made it completely worthwhile to screw the little people who lost their homes, to give hundreds of billions to Wall Street, to keep Guantanamo open, to strongly support the state secrets privilege, to insist on non-punishment for warmongers, and to adopt other Bushian positions which I untrustworthily criticized as a candidate. Now I will have two trophies on my wall, and so I am very grateful to the NoBull Committee for swallowing my bull. ? *
