You're having a battle of wits with an unarmed man. You know, it really would be funny, if he weren't the president. Yea Adam, you keep picking on the moron.

Problem is, Bush thinks the show is about Republicans. Tess –

I think Bush can apreciate “West Wing” — anyone can. Problem is, Bush thinks the show is about Republicans.

We haven't seen this style of post here for a while, and I've missed the special lines you give the president. I definitely like the 'administrative assistant' part. The administration must really be frustrated (and scared) that they can't control this outflow of information the way they wish. Lies and misdirection often seem like a great idea at first, but it really sucks when the loose threads finally start to distract admirers from the rest of the fine tapestry. "Oh! What a tangled web we (etc.)" Thanks Adam. We haven’t seen this style of post here for a while, and I’ve missed the special lines you give the president.

Once again, you've illustrated to me why you're a professional and I really shouldn't try this at home. One thought: Have you ever considered getting some of your acting pals together and recording one of these skits in mp3 a la the First Family albums of 60s and 70s? EXCELLENT post today, Adam.

Brackets could include DoD, CIA, FBI, and others. Others could include current and former "willing" officials. A winning guess must predict both the individual in each bracket and the highest number of interviews Cheney/Rice/etal give to discredit the defector in a single day. (yes, there is some math involved). Could be fun! Imagine how big the pot could grow, assuming a lack of correct guesses, between now and November as more "disgruntled employees" come forward...In fact, there's no reason why we couldn't keep playing after Bush is back in Crawford in January - in fact, the action could be real sweet throughout 2005!! Just gotta come up with a catchy "March Madness-esque" name for it... New office pool concept:
