PUTIN: [inaudible]… Um, hello?

BUSH: Pooty-poot?

PUTIN: Huh? George?

BUSH: How ya doin’?

PUTIN: But… [inaudible]… What are you doing with calling at this hour?

BUSH: What’re you talking about? It’s the middle of the day, P.P.!

PUTIN: Not here it is not.

BUSH: Not readin’ you there, Poot. Is this some kinda Star Trek wormhole thing? Like you’re traveling back in time, and I’m goin’… no wait, it’d be you tra-

PUTIN: Nevermind. I am now awake. What is it you are calling about?

BUSH: Well, you know… Iraq. I was kinda wonderin’ if you’re ready to say it was, like, okay for us to go in and attack now.

PUTIN: No.

BUSH: Okay, gotcha. [pause] How ’bout now?

PUTIN: No.

BUSH: Now?

PUTIN: George, please be stopping with that. I have told you, we would like to be seeing some more of the inspections, or at least some evidence of weaponry or obstruction.

BUSH: Right. But the thing is, we’d really like to invade pretty soon.

PUTIN: I know. I wish I could help more. My people, though, my advisors…

BUSH: It’s just not fair, that’s all.

PUTIN: There there, George. Be looking on the bright side - tomorrow is your Mr. Powell’s big speech, no? Probably he will present enough evidence for us to justify the war. You have said there is much evidence, no?

BUSH: Yeah, about that… [inaudible]

PUTIN: What?

BUSH: Well, what if - now remember, this is all hypnothetimal here - but what if the evidence Collie lays down is more like… um…

PUTIN: What are you saying?

BUSH: Well, more like evidence of evidence, y’know?

PUTIN: No, I am not knowing this.

BUSH: Well, I mean, it’s good evidence, from what I’ve seen! But some people might call it, uh, circumcisional.

PUTIN: Are you talking about not having the smoking gun satellite photos and documents that you have been with the promising of?

BUSH: No! We have ‘em! We got the satellite stuff and documents. They’re just more like, more like…

PUTIN: Yes?

BUSH: … artist’s renderings, kinda. Would that be good enough?

PUTIN: What? Of course not.

BUSH: They’re really good. With all the right perspectivication and stuff. I mean, it looks just as real as like, remember when in “The Two Towers” that guy with the beard is falling with that firey whippy guy, right? And then the fire guy’s all like-

PUTIN: Enough! I am be going back to the sleep now.

BUSH: So, um, does that mean you’d back an attack now?

PUTIN: No.

BUSH: Fine, fine, that’s your choice. [pause] How ’bout now?

PUTIN: Good night, George.

BUSH: Now? Was that a yes?

PUTIN: [inaudible]

BUSH: Hello? Pooty-poot? What, are you just gonna nap all day? No wonder those pesos of yours aren’t worth anything! Hello?
