Here's an audio prototype - I'm putting together a video version as well.

Just in time for the hearings, just in time to "play politics."

2. the really sick thing is that I didn't have to add the laugh track

listening to it now - hmm, I should add one more line for the 3rd plane and make it an even 60 seconds...

3. !

and here's the rough jottings for der video version:

FADE IN to small room, a man with his back to the camera watches a tv showing images of Bush and the 9/11 firemen/casket.

BUSH: "I'm George W. Bush - and I approved this message."

tape melts, voice distorts.

TV VOICE: "George Bush wants to run on 9/11, shamelessly pimping the dead for his political gain."

MAN watching TV turns to the camera.

MAN: "Ok, Mr. Bush - let's recap."

GRAPHIC: animated ONE over quick barrage of newspaper headlines, daily briefing title: "BIN LADEN DETERMINED TO STRIKE US", etc)

MAN: "One. You were asleep at the wheel for the worst security failure in the history of this country, after dozens of warnings."

GRAPHIC: animated TWO over sequence of stills of Bush reading to children, Card whispering, etc.)

MAN: "Two. You read a book about goats for a photo op after the first plane hits."

GRAPHIC: animated THREE over stills of Scaredy-Bush & cell phone fundraiser photo.

MAN: "Three. You crisscoss the country making desperate phone calls to Dick Cheney after the the second plan hits... and then sell pictures of it."

GRAPHIC: animated FOUR over Osama pics, smiling Bush, newspaper headlines about Iraq.

MAN: "Four. You ground all planes - except those carrying Bin Laden's family, swear to smoke him out, lose interest, and invade Iraq instead."

camera pulls away from images on TV set, man address camera again.

MAN: "So sure, Mr. Bush - run on 9/11. Because we remember."

STILL of 9/11 image from Bush commercial.

BUSH: "Never did I dream we'd have a trifecta."

AUDIENCE laughs uproariously.

ANNOUNCER: "George Bush - steady drunkenness in times of change."

(Bush chuckles as the commercial FADES OUT.)

10. For starters, try the White House website, at ...

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/pubpress/daniels_conference_board_speech10-16-01.html :

'The President favors conditions of budgetary balance, and -- particularly looking ahead to the unfunded liabilities of our nation -- surplus, and the reduction of outstanding national debt against the day when those bills come due, and has been pursuing a balanced fiscal policy that included tax reduction for long-term growth, debt reduction, and moderate spending growth to make those first two objectives possible.

He had always listed, throughout his campaign and since, the reasons why the nation might depart from this policy, reasons he had given as acceptable for running fiscal deficits: for war, recession, or emergency. As he said to me in mid-September, "Lucky me. I hit the trifecta."'
