Bush Exaggerates Fishing Trip Story Before Congress, Nation

      Just weeks after George W. Bush addressed the public concerning a pending war with Iraq, the President again steps into the spotlight by recount a recent fishing trip to the entire public. “I would say I caught a 15 pound Bass that was at least a foot in diameter,” boasted Bush to America’s outdoorsmen, as seen in Figure A.

 

 

 

 

 

       A mere two days after Bush revealed his adamant angling skills, Bush then recounted the story in a private meeting with White House Advisors, Cabinet Members and Sears representative Bob Vila. This time, however, the fish had grown to well over 2.5 feet, as represented by Figure B. Could it be that Bush caught two different fish of varying lengths on that fateful day, or perhaps the fish could have grown in length as it lay cold in the White House complementary Budweiser cooler? That is what the official White House report announces—two fish—same day, but the public demands more. One outraged citizen stated “Mr. Bush, I know you are lying. My uncle is in jail for selling crack, but even he wouldn’t embellish a fishing story as dramatically as you.
      Although nothing can presently be proved, Bush did remove his “I’d rather be fishing” wall plaque from the oval office.
