Bush wonders where Americans got 'kooky' ideas (humor)

[spooky3]

From Andy Borowitz's website:

http://www.borowitzreport.com/

"After seeing polls showing that seventy percent of Americans believe that Saddam was somehow linked to 9/11, President Bush said he was "flabbergasted" by how widespread that opinion was and wondered how the American people came to such a ""wacky"" conclusion.
"Let me tell you, it was a real head-scratcher," Mr. Bush said.
After first theorizing that the belief in the Saddam-9/11 link was the result of "a simple misunderstanding," Mr. Bush seized upon a more sinister explanation: that Saddam Hussein himself was responsible for misinforming the American people.
"Increasingly, we are seeing evidence that Saddam Hussein intentionally created the false impression that he was somehow responsible for 9/11 in order to confuse seventy percent of the American people," the President said...."

1. Surely, SURELY...

Rove doesn't think we're that stupid. Surely he doesn't. It can't be. Rove's supposed to be some kind of genius.

This is nothing short of grasping desperately for straws.

Reminds me of the old "Who you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?"

2. Gman, not sure if you saw "humor" in the subject line

Andy Borowitz is a comic writer, like Dave Barry. It's satire. You'd love "Who Moved My Soap?" It's hilarious.
