I don't care how fake it is: if there's a war on, there's a war on, and that means you can't criticize me or my $48 billion increase for defense of the defense industry...excuse me I mean defense of the home land...or anything else in my "tax-cut and spend budget." If any sniveling reporter has a problem with this go tell it to Ari.

We're going to push this insanity as far as we can. I'll let you in on a little secret: we've got a pool going at the White House on how long the pansy Dems and the passive press will let us get away with this nonsense.

Yup, we've got one fake war, and one failed extremist economic dogma. But no one will touch us. It's kind of like the Emperor's New Clothes in reverse...

Because WE know it's all fake, but everyone else is blind to it. We say there's a war, and everyone sees a war. We say that Enron is just an exception, and everyone says, "Oh, OK."

So guess what else: I'm not a draft dodger who went AWOL for 18 months from my National Guard duty because I was afraid to take a drug test...NO: I'm a WAR TIME HERO PRESIDENT!

...that's right, and see: when I say it, the press and the Dems all think it's true. Wow, that's so cool.

How long can we do this to the Democrats, Karl? How long will they just take it and take it and let us get away with this?

Forever...really?
