Weingarten Ways In.... Thing One and Thing Two?

From Dan Froomkin's Washington Post column... very funny... yet not.

Weingarten Weighs In

Washington Post humorist (and sage) Gene Weingarten writes in his Sunday column: "Once upon a time, no one criticized George W. Bush. That was about five years ago, when questioning the president was unpatriotic. Then, gradually, liberals began to voice grievances, then moderate Democrats, then liberal Republicans, then moderate Republicans, and now we're seeing uber-conservative hammerheads such as Bob Novak and Rich Lowry using the I-words: 'inept' and 'incompetent.' Foreign heads of state have started to take potshots at Bush when he's standing right next to them, during photo ops."

So what's next? Weingarten's fertile mind imagines anti-Bush horoscopes, weather reports . . . and children's stories.

" . . . Then out of the box came Thing One and Thing Two,

"And Sally and I did not know what to do!

"They knocked Sally down, and she fell on her tush.

"'I'm Cheney,' said one. Said the other, 'I'm Bush.'

"They attacked our four feet, with stompings and bites.

"First they chewed on our lefts, then they trampled our rights!

"They found Mother's money and flushed it away!

"If we go to college, NOW how will we pay?

"They smashed up our dishes, our toys and our bikes!

"Our globe was on fire, and the golf bag Dad likes!

"The mess they were making was torture to see,

"'Torture is good,' they told Sally and me . . . . "
