………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Jon Stewart: How about twelve months ago?
G.W. Bush aka Dubya aka the President: “As we make progress on the ground and Iraqi forces increasingly take the lead, we should be able to further decrease our troop levels.”
Jon Stewart: “Yes! I think this will be our year… Now rock figures to be the prime topic of tomorrow’s State of the Union Address. The war began 3…nearly 4…. decades ago… but the president insists it’s a vital struggle on world history which raises this interesting question:”
PBS journalist: “If it’s that important to all of us and to the future of our country if not the world, why have you not, as president of the United States, asked more Americans and more American interests to sacrifice something?
The President: “I think a lot of people are in this fight. .I mean that they,they,… they sacrifice peace of mind when they see the terrible images of violence on T… TV everynight.”
Jon Stewart: “Senior political analyst Jason Jones joins us now… Jason, thank you’re very welcome. It appeared to me in that interview with Jim Lair that the president is suggesting that because Americans see somewhat discomforting images about the war on TV that that is our sacrifice…”
Jason Jones: “Yes, yeah Jon, it’s pretty rough. I mean, I can tell you my family has been through a lot in this war, I don’t know if you know this but we were a Goldstar family, that was the brand of TV we had, 72 inches……………………………………...”
................................................................................................................................................
Jon Stewart: “ And that’s our sacrifice?”
Jason Jones: “Well, not to me Jon. I was just doing my duty.”
Jon Stewart: “The President, he makes it seem as though this war has really been tough on this generation.”
Jason Jones: “Jon! It’s been hell! I mean It would be bad enough if it were just for the TV images but the President just keeps asking. You hear him last month?”
G.W. aka Dubya: “ We must also work together to achieve important goals for the American people here at home. This work begins with keeping our economy growing. I encourage you all to go shopping more.”
Jason Jones: “More? More ??? How much more can I shop? The parking, the crowds…
I’m running out of things to own! Last week I lost 200 of my best dollars buying this damn thing……. Jon, I don’t even know what it does! …… Ok buddy …/just do it/…..you see what I’m t… /just do it/ What? …/just do it/ All right I’ll .........................................
Let me tell you Jon. That piece of garbage helps us win the war on terror. Then yeah, the greatest generation’s got nothing on us. ..By the way, I’m teaching that guy to get me some beer. For America!”
