3. Terra! Terra! Terra! Time to fire up the ole terra machine again!

Rove: George, that's not really working so well these days.

Bush: Gays, gay marriage, secret agenda to turn everyone gay...

Rove: Probably not a good time to discuss, with the Foley scandal still in the headlines.

Bush: War on terra...oops...forgot...well how about social security reform?

Rove: Not popular, George. No one is going to accept that.

Bush: Iraq, then. Very dangerous. Number one country for terrorism right now.

Rove: Hmmm...maybe...except we gotta get the bad news in Iraq out of the headlines. Can't you tell Rummy to shut those former military guys up? Powell hasn't helped us much, you know.

Bush: Rummy does what he wants to, he won't listen to anybody.

Rove: Perhaps Dick can "convince" him.

Bush: We can try, but Dick usually doesn't want to see me these days.

Rove: We can tell the pollsters to up the numbers again. What are the real numbers now? Hmmm...let's see...I've got them right here. Oh yes, you're at 23%, Mr. President. Dick is at 9%, Republican led Congress is at 11%...not a pretty picture.

Bush: Well, we could fly a plane into the Empire...

Rove: No, nobody would fall for that again.

Bush: Oh shit.

Rove: Oh shit is right. How are our new estates coming along in Dubai, anyway? Will they be ready for us in a few months? Things aren't looking too rosy.
