Bush Admits He's Trapped in Bubble
Scrapple Face ^ | 12/14/05 | Scott Ott

President George Bush today, confirmed a recent Newsweek magazine cover story, admitting that he's "living in a bubble" - isolated and aloof.

"I confess that I don't wake up each day on the same planet as Newsweek's editors," said Mr. Bush. "So, I guess I'm isolated from the world where the U.S. is always wrong, terrorists have legitimate rights, Cindy Sheehan formulates sound foreign policy, record employment figures and falling gas prices signal imminent economic doom, civil rights are endangerd by preserving heterosexual marriage, abortion is the most valued freedom for women and the federal government fulfills the role of the father, the mother, the church and the local government."

Mr. Bush said he agreed with the Newsweek assertion that he "may be the most isolated president in modern history."

"I admit," said Mr. Bush, "that I'm almost completely isolated from public opinion pollsters and journalists who start with answers and craft questions to elicit them. I'm virtually cut off from believing the non-stop barrage of negative news about an emerging democratic nation that will have three legitimate elections this year after decades of dictatorship. I'm aloof from the world in which bitter critics with no vision are treated as diplomats and sages."

Mr. Bush added, "When you see a shimmering, transparent bubble wall, you gotta ask yourself: which side of it am I on?"

OH WOW. Better put some ice on the Newsweak. That is going to leave one hell of a mark!

Too bad he didn't really say that -- word for word.

John Travolta, Tom Cruise and R Kelly still refuse to come out of the closet!

Probably could have added, that Bush is also isolated from people who nominate mass murders for Nobel Peace Prizes.

Unfortunately, yes. If the President actually said something like this his approval ratings would probably instantly shoot up to 70% overnight.

Man, I would like to see a picture done of the MSM in the bubble, with the President giving them the you-know-what.

My son moved but his "Newsweak" still comes to the house. I read this issue and the whole damned thing was negative and depressing not to mention that it was also written at an 8th grade level of comprehension. Disgusting.
