4. The irony of this press conference is pretty hard to miss.
I loved his mention of him being held to account. Hasn't his accountability moment passed, according to him?

9. Don't forget Reagan's presidential
papers which were supposed to be released in 2001...

Just which ones of Poppy's transgressions aren't seeing the light of day just yet?

13. Bush's Invisible Magic X-Ray glasses...
He bought them from a comic book mail order place in the 'fifties and he hasn't taken them off since.

They make this country so transparent he often bumps into it, which explains all those bruises he gets on his face.
