OUR BIDNESS IS THE BIDNESS OF BIDNESS —— by Steve Nadis
Some reporters have claimed that President Bush is singing a different tune now that his trusted aid, Karl Rove, has his proverbial tit caught in the wringer. They say Bush initially vowed to fire anyone in the administration responsible for blowing the cover of once-secret agent Valerie Plame (who’s now better known than Britney Spears. Today, Bush says he will fire anyone in the administration IF AND WHEN it is proven they have broken the law. Bush, the malcontents claim, is not sticking to his word.
But they weren’t listening carefully enough. What Bush actually said was this: He would fire anyone working for him responsible for this act (which, in point of law, is a felony). Herein lies the catch: Karl Rove does not work for Bush; Bush works for Karl Rove and willfully, eagerly, does everything Rove says. When Rove pulls the string, Bush follows the lead like Ginger Rogers. He even jumps through hoops. So Bush was not inconsistent. And it appears that no one working for him has done anything wrong. The defense rests.

Nice comeback, Snake. On the strength of some of your recent entries, on top of Burt’s comments, I was starting to wonder…
Thank you, Lindsey. It’s good to be back.
I never heard the expression ‘tit caught in the wringer’ before. Can we put the rest of him in there now?
The actual expression–and perhaps the one you’re most familiar with–is "tit in the wringer." But I know what you mean, sometimes I feel like wringing his fat neck.
