All Right, Ms Miers. Lights... Cameras...
Action!
"Hello. I'm Harriett Miers and I'd like to speak to you
for a moment about the Sup..."
"Cut! Cut, cut cut!"
"What is it, Mister President?"
"Listen, Harriett, think you could try it looking into the
camera for a change? It's like your checking for loose change on the ground
or something. And lets maybe open up that top button while we're at it.
Okay... ready... action!"
"Hello. I'm Harriett Miers and I'd like to speak to you
for a moment about the Supreme Court. A nom..."
"Cut! Let's cut it guys."
"What did I do, Mister President? I was looking at the
camera..."
"You were grimacing. Nobody likes a grimacer."
"But those lights are so bright."
"Comes with the territory, Maumau. You wanna be a Supreme
Court justice, you gotta put up with it."
"But I don't want to be a Supreme Court justice."
"Course you do. You wanna please papa, doncha?"
"Yes... but..."
"All right, then. Ready... Action!"
"Hello. I'm Marriett Hiers..."
"Cuuuuttt. Take 37. Ready... Action!"
"Hello. I'm Harriett Miers and I'd like to speak to you
for a moment about the Supreme Court. A nomination to the land's highest
court is quite an honor, but it's also a responsibility, a confirmation
responsibility that many in congress seem unwilling to take, if one is to
judge by their lackluster reaction thus far. As President Clinton has
said..."
"Cuuuuttt! Cuuuttt! This is President Bush, speakin' at
you. El Busho. What part of that is so hard for you to remember?"
"I'm sorry. You've just got me nervous, and..."
"Take it from 'as President Me has said'. Ready...
Action!"
"As President Me has said..."
"Cuuuuttt. Same line. Take 39. Ready... Action!"
"As President Bush has said, 'Now is the time to shit or
get off of the pot..."
"CUT! What the hell are you sayin'?"
"It's right here in the script, Mister President!"
"Let me see that... Geez... Forget it Harriett. This is
just one of Rove's little jokes. Take it from the next line, okay. Ready...
Action!"
"With so many issues important to the whole country coming
before the court during the next year, It's important to remember that a
bird in the hand really is better when coming from Bush. Let your elected
representatives know that a vote to confirm Harriett Miers is a vote to
affirm America."
"Cut. Good work, Maumau. I think we've got a wrap with
that one."
"Praise be. I can finally get some rest."
"You kidding? That was just the short one for CNN... We've
got to cut the real deal for FOX." |
