Bush Sent to Bed After Angry Tantrum

AP--WASHINGTON

President Bush, dressed in his little Lord Faulteroy outfit of baggy short-pants and giant bow-tie, was soundly scolded and sent to bed early, sources close to the White House say.

When choosing up sides for kickball, the President told reporters, "I'm the decider and I decide what's best!" He later put both fingers in his ears and said, "I can't hear you, I can't hear you" over and over when journalists asked about Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.

This was quickly followed by "I am NOT TIRED! I am NOT TIRED!" as tears of frustration streamed down his little face. As staffers tried to hustle him out of the Rose Garden, the Little Prince let his legs turn to rubber and screamed "don't want to, don't want to, don't want to."

In response to the White House Chief of Staff's whispered comments, a red-faced Bush fairly howled, "you're not my mommy and you don't get to tell me what to do! I'm the decider!"

Staffers later confided that the President had soiled his diaper and was over-excited by all the activity.

3. Some students of mine were laughing about this at lunch today.

They were saying that "I'm the decider" sounds like something a 3 year old would say. They BABYSIT kids that say things like that . . .

4. Reminds me of Joe Besser

Joe Besser was one of the Three Stooges who followed Shemp.

But I thought his funniest work by far was as a Little Lord Fauntleroy character on the early 1950s Abbott & Costello TV show. Besser dressed like a rich, spoiled little kid with short pants and had one of those all-day suckers which he would use to hit people over the head. I can almost hear Besser saying: "I'm the Decider. I'M THE DECIDER!!! Ooooo, you're so mean!" Strangely, after Besser left the Abbott & Costello show, he was replaced by a Chimp.
