The President Has No One to Reason Him

This novel was to become a great classic amongst Latin America’s famed “poetic magic” literary school…and a highly prescient metaphor for Dubya’s pathetic presidency!
The man they call “El Jorge” south of the Rio Grande who once said “Mi Casa Blanca es tu Casa Blanca” in an outlandish bid to gratify Hispanic voters was in Mar del Plata, Argentina, on Friday to attend the opening session of the “hemispheric” Summit of the Americas: he was greeted by tens of thousands of angry Argentines who chanted "Get out, Bush!" and "You are the terrorist!" among other niceties…
By evening, massive riots were reported in the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires, where students and workers set fire to several McDonald's restaurants.
"It is not easy to host all these countries at the same time" said Bush as he appeared before reporters after their morning meeting. "It's particularly not easy to host, perhaps, me!" [sic/sick]
