He could have saved a lot of money if he'd just called the A-Team and put them in charge. I can see them now; outfitting the presidential limo with an anti-terrorist battering-ram and some kind of sand-bag launcher to get it through the parade.
When they get to the White House, B.A. could act all mean and Hannibal could smoke a cigar and say "I love it when a plan comes together", GW could say something stupid, then B.A. would go to smack him in the face- cue freeze frame. The End!

Best episode ever. I should be writing these things for a living!

*Lest there be any question that Fox shills for Bush. Watch how defensive the anchor gets. Maybe she's on the payroll?

If I was the City of DC, I would have said "No.  Cancel your stupid party because we're not paying for it."  How many millions did the city have to pay?  Like 12?  Then think about how they can't drive ANYWHERE.  The roads are closed for how big of an area?  100 blocks?  I'm glad that someone complained.

I wonder how drewkaree will argue this one.

If those snipers had only been on our side...but then we would have a $40 million funeral to pay for.

Personally, I find it extremely ironic that Bush chooses to mouth platitudes about freedom, in an area with a 30 mile no-fly zone, anti-aircraft guns, roof-top snipers, and military barricades.
