George and the Gold Star Mom.

Act 1

Rove enters barn on Bush ranch

Rove- George, please get down off the mechanical bull we have to find a way to diffuse this situation outside the ranch and shut up this whiny, liberal mom.
George- Hi Karl, you want to try this bull. I have been practicing for 2 days now. I think that I could be a real cowboy. I know that I look like one, but if I keep practicing I think that I could win one of those big belt buckles.
Rove- Get down!! We have work to do.
George- Oh Karl, why are you always such a party pooper. I should have fired you like I said I would, and then I could really be enjoying my vacation.
Rove- George if you do not get off the bull and listen to what I am about to tell you I am going to call Dick.
George- OK! OK! No need to bring him here. I hate it when he is around. He is so mean to me. What do you want me to do?
Rove- Well since we have already tried discrediting her and the damn liberal media is just not buying it I guess we are going to have to meet with her. Do you still have the suit we used during the second debate so I can tell you what to say?
George- No, Mr. Gannon and I were playing with it at the White House and we broke it. Sorry. Who is this woman anyway and why do I have to meet her?
Rove- Her name is Cindy Sheehan. Her son was killed in Iraq, and now she is camped outside the ranch and wants a face to face meeting so you can explain why her son had to die and what this noble cause you keep talking about is.
George- Well that’s easy enough. We need to protect our oil interest in the Middle East, and of course we had to get Saddam since he tried to kill my Daddy.
Rove- NO George. We are fighting the extremist there so we do not have to fight them here. How many times do I have to tell you that? Freedom is on the march. A free Iraq makes America safer. If we pull out now then the extremist will have won. We will pull out when the noble mission is complete, and not one day sooner.
George- Oh yeah, I remember. That is what’s on that tape you make for me to listen to while I sleep. I do have one question Karl. What is the noble mission, and how will we know when it is completed?
Karl- I have told you a thousand times. We do not really plan on ever pulling out of Iraq. The Democrats will one day win the White House and when they get us out of Iraq we will accuse them of cutting and running and being weak on terrorism. In the meantime we will continue to funnel money to our corporations and in turn they will funnel money back into our campaigns. It is genius. With all the money we are pilfering from the American tax payer we may never lose the House or the Senate.
George- I’m sorry, you lost me when you said the Democrats will some day win the White House.
Karl- Why do I even try and explain anything to you? You just listen to me and do what I tell you. Do not stray from the script, we all know what happens when you do that Mr. Strategery.
George- Ok, I’ll try.
