GDubya Authors Book on Public Speaking!
Bushed for Time' — (not available in Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea or to dark-skinned people wearing striped tea towels on their heads) has shot straight to the top of the US Fiction best-seller list in just three days. One anonymous aesthete summed up the book's phenomenal success in these words: "Congress wouldn't act; no publisher's reader would touch it with a six foot blue pencil, so the dyslexic despot signed an executive order that every store in the country had to stock fifty copies or he'd send 'em out to look for weapons of mass destruction in Guantanamo Bay."

We eventually cornered the obtuse orator in the Fantasy section of the bookstore and asked him what had prompted him to write the book.
"I love language," began the blundering bombast. "I like to think of it as the epidemic road less travelled by cunnilinguists. For example, I'm taking classes in Amurkan. Amurkan, for the uniliterated, is a 21st century form of gibberish, an arcane tongue having words of only two syllables that eschews regular verbs, or — like, any verbs. Amurkan is fully understood only by Ronald Dumbsfeld and me. As I recall, my friend Tony Blur, who I recently made Governor of Texas, was worried about my writing such a specialised book. He said I should focus on English. I still hear that quite often from my British friends. But they don't realise I'm speaking in the perfect form and idiom of ancient Amurkan."
