Mad Cowboy Disease
This is a short poem made up entirely of actual quotations from George W. Bush. These have been arranged, only for aesthetic purposes by Washington Post writer, Richard Thompson.
Make the Pie Higher
I think we all agree, the past is over.
This is still a dangerous world.
It's a world of madmen and uncertainty
And potential mental losses.
Is our children learning?
Will the highways of the Internet
Become more few?
How many hands have I shaked?
They misunderestimate me.
I am a pitbull on the pantleg of opportunity.
I know that the human being
And the fish can coexist.
Families is where our nation finds hope,
Where our wings take dream.
Put food on your family!
Knock down the tollbooth!
Vulcanize society!
Make the pie higher!
I am the Decider!

I think he meant: "I am pissing on the pantleg of opportunity." Well, you've heard it a thousand times: We get the leaders we deserve.
Vote.
I also want to say that as anti-Bush as I am, I'm suspicious of the obviousness of this "poem." Even if Bush uttered these lines (which, unfortunately, he probably did), the quotes are fully out of context and therefore lacking in real meaning--other than to imply the man's stupidity and his inability to formulate and articulate ideas. I know it's meant to be funny, but in many ways this entertaining corruption of language is a form of propaganda, not too unlike the garbage Bush and his cohorts have been pushing on us since 9-11. Irony be damned. Whether we get it or not, we have the right to expect truth in language.
