I am trembling with so much excitement that I can barely keep my fingers from dancing off the keyboard; but I want to be among the first bloggers to announce with undisguised glee that President George W. Bush has been arrested. Arrested! Led off to jail in handcuffs! It seems like a dream come true; but those of you who, like me, tuned into last night’s To Catch a Predator, know that this time I’m not the victim of yet another insane delusion. It was all captured on live television! I am not only among the first to write about this historic event, I will be the first to offer on the internet the transcript of what took place.
Chris Hansen: Over a month ago members of Perverted Justice began tracking an unusual exchange of messages in a so-called Washington insider chat room between YoungTimmyIntern and a mysterious visitor known only as BiggerThanMyDad. The messages were unsavory and unsettling; but what was even more shocking was the true identity of BiggerThanMyDad. As we wait for him to arrive, we want to give you a glimpse into a truly dark and frightening mind. Sensitive viewers are warned that this is graphic material and may not be suitable for minors.

[Cut away to the front door as a knock is heard. A short, chubby woman, making herself sound like a young Congressional intern, calls out, “I have to change my shirt. Come on in.” The door slowly opens. President Bush, looking slowly around, cautiously steps in. He has a bundle of papers in one hand and a can of lighter fluid in the other.]
Bush: Timmy?
[Enter Chris Hansen]
Hansen: Mr. President, can I ask you what you’re doing with the Constitution?
Bush: Consti, Consti, wha, who…
Hansen: And the lighter fluid?
Bush: That’s uh, I was going to smoke. I mean not me. Timmy he, he said he wanted to smoke and uh, we’d discuss the Constitution, you see, it’s just a piece of paper and so we were going to, uh, have a, have a talk about the folks who, the evil doers!
[Bush, in a sudden panic at the appearance of television cameras, bolts out the door. Screams are heard outside. “Cheney, save me! Executive privilege. I’m the Commander and Chief!“]
Ah, now wasn’t that a lot better than the Oscars?
