The Rapeublican party dressed him so smartly, rings on his fingers and bells on his toes. He strutted about in his finery, buying rugs, proclaiming that Social Security should be privatized, taxes need not apply to the wealthy, and everthing is fine, go shopping!
Then 911...
Fear everything!!! We had no idea they would attack the World Trade Center again! Osama who? Don't worry, go shopping, I'll attack Iraq and the oil will pay for it! Just have to borrow some money from China. Afghanistan? Where's that? No oil? Don't worry, go shopping! Osama who? Oh yeah, I'll get back to that.
"The fundamentals of the economy are still strong", go shopping. Buy some clothes like mine, they're cheap and don't need washing. They never wear out, are stain proof and pardonable.
Thanks George, but we will need the rings and bells back. The pawnshop will give us fifty bucks for them to keep the soup kitchen open.
You can keep the rest of your "clothes". Walking naked on the street will get you arrested. Well maybe not in D.C. or the gated communities in Dallas. I would however, advise that you put on some pants before clearing brush in Crawford.
