Reporter: After the blackout last month, is the east coast really ready for another natural disaster?
Bush: We won't be threatened by these... terrorists.
Reporter: Sir, its a hurricane.

Bush: Today freedom is under attack. It happens almost daily these days.
Reporter: Are you calling Mother Nature a terrorist?
Bush: 200 mile per hour winds? That's like what happens in a nu-clear attack. Sounds like terrorism to me.
Reporter: Mr. President how is the nation's capital preparing for the amount of rain that could fall on the Washington area at the end of this week?
Bush: I am asking the networks for some prime-time time sometime to tell the nation I will ask congress for $29 Billion to buy the people of D.C. some umbrellas.
Reporter: How is the White House preparing?
Bush: Sand bags. All our boys over in Iraq protecting freedom... We thought... They want to come home so bad. Well.. TOO BAD! They ain't coming home unless each carries back 10 sand bags and stacks them around the White House. We won't have those boys from the internet coming around asking so many questions about what we knew this time.
Reporter: Have you been in touch with the National Weather Service?
Bush: The who? I thought I cut all their funding?
Reporter: No, sir, they predict this storm will dump several inches on the D.C. area sometime late Thursday and into Friday.

Bush: You know what I think about the National Weather Service?
Reporter: Sir?
Bush: We will not tolerate these organizations that aid terrorists. Thursday you said? A week after the 2 year anniversary of September 11th? That's no coincidence. I'm sending our Department of Justice boys to have a little talk with those weathermen.
Reporter: Mr. President do you plan on leaving D.C?
Bush: That's just what these terrorists want. They want to interrupt our lives - let me tell you something... A little water and wind isn't as strong as our resolve. United we stand!
Darn those terrorcanes!
Or something. Actually This is the first I've heard of this hurricane. That's not surprising since I don't watch the news, don't read the papers, and live in the midwest. Ah to be gleefully free of the world of media.

Posted by: mbare on September 15, 2003 11:44 AMI got about 5 lines into this before I realized it was satire. Then I was sad.
