Fair and Hype 9/11
In response to the film, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan commented that "all of this stuff is made up, well, except for the parts about the President being on vacation 42% of the time before 9/11. The rest of it was all pure fabrication, other than maybe that part about how the Bush family was tied financially to the Bin Ladens." President Bush was reported to be relaxing at his ranch in Crawford and searching for a cure to the armadillo problem that is plaguing western Texas. According to sources, armadillos are been blamed for damaging the fairways of some of the President's favorite golf courses. Meanwhile, Vice President Cheney has been running the country while the President tries to deal with the rodent problem. The President has not yet seen "Fahrenheit 9/11," although he and the First Lady attended the movies on Friday evening, giving secret service agents a scare in the process. The secret service quickly corrected the error and ushered President and Mrs. Bush into the theater, where they watched the comedy "White Chicks," starring the Wayans brothers masquerading as white women. "I'm told the President thought the film was quite entertaining," said McClellan, who added that it was "more the President's speed than the 9/11 film. He prefers funny things to serious things." It is not known when the President will return to Washington and relieve acting President Cheney of his duties. |
Michael Moore's controversial new film, "Fahrenheit 9/11," opened this weekend to critical and popular reviews, stirring talk that Moore could garner another Oscar nomination for his seering portrait of the Bush administration's incompetence. 
After purchasing tickets for the President and First Lady, the agent assigned to them noticed the President had lined up with the crowd to see Mr. Moore's film.
