SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: NO LINK BETWEEN ADMINISTRATION AND REALITY
In another of a continuing series of reports, issued over the objection of the majority of GOP members, the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded that there was absolutely no link between the Bush Administration and reality, either before or after 9/11.

The Senate Panel emphasized that the Administration was about as well-acquainted with facts as Mohammed Atta was with a Bar-Mitzvah, and that Cheney had more meetings with oil company executives in one day than Atta had with Iraqis his entire life.

Disney’s ABC, however, is rushing into immediate production of a miniseries based on the Senate Report. According to inside moles, ABC’s version promises to be another in its long string of “Unreality Shows.”

Meanwhile, the Senate Report has had no effect on the shameless VP, who appeared on Meet The Press to assert a new theory of Iraqi-Al Qaeda ties: Six Degrees of Separation.

By Cheney’s account, “Osama bin Laden knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew Saddam Hussein’s barber.” But Russert, who’s sharper than former Buffalo Bill O.J. Simpson’s knife, smartly replied: “Under that theory, Mr. Vice-President, shouldn’t we have also invaded Kevin Bacon?”

In related news, in a case of “Can You Top This Unreality,” President Bush interrupted ABC’s “Path to 9/11″ mockudrama last evening with his own unique version of “Fantasy Island.”

The key component of the speech was Bush’s assertion that under his watch, “the U.S. is more f**ked-up than before, but not as f**ked-up as it needs to be.”

3. Of course not
Near the end of the campaign, a senior White House aide explained the "faith-based" school of political thought to reporter Ron Suskind, who wrote in the New York Times Magazine: "The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the reality-based community,' which he defined as people who 'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off. 'That's not the way the world really works anymore,' he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors ... and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.'"
