Inside The Whitehouse

The characters are a bit outdated now in the revolving door of President Bush's cabinet but you may still get a chuckle.

"Hang down your head Karl Rove
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head Karl Rove
Poor boy you're gonna die"

BUSH: (smirk) Condi would you please stop that singing, we've got a serious problem on our hands.

CHENEY: (smirk) I kinda like your voice Condi, and your legs, and your...

BUSH: Dick knock it off. You just got that pacemaker check-up. I can't afford to lose you now. We need a plan of attack here.

CHENEY: OK, OK, but I'm getting tired of cleaning up your messes. What were you thinking George, saying you'd fire the guy whoever let this leak. If I've told you once I've told you twice - Read the scripts! Follow the Scripts! I'm too old for this s**t!

BUSH: Aw Jeez Dick! I should get to say what I want sometimes. I am President after all!

CHENEY: Only because of Karl. Now look what you've done, you've gone and put the noose around your old buddy Karl.

BUSH: (almost in tears) I can't fire Karl!

RICE: Hang down your head Karl Rove...

BUSH: Condi would you please stop. I think we agree, the past is over. We just need to get on the same page here.

CHENEY: I'll make a few calls, grease a few palms. You'd be surprised what a little oil can do to stop a squeak.

BUSH: I like that Dick. Can I use that line sometime? Does it work for leaks as well as squeaks?

CHENEY: God help us.

BUSH: Excellent suggestion Dick! We can do this people. Let's close our eyes and have a little faith.

(silent pause)

I feel better all ready! My Lord and Savior I implore Your immense goodness. I long to be true to Your Word, and pray that You will love me and come to make Your dwelling place within me. I promise to give You praise and glory in love and in service all the days of...

CHENEY: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enough will ya!

RICE: Mr President

BUSH: Yes Condi?

RICE: I think you could take the army jacket off for now.

BUSH: (smirk) There's a war going on here Condi, ain't that right Rummy.

RUMSFELD: No question there Mr. President. Your policy is dead or alive. And, you know, I have my preference... (bigger smirk)

BUSH: That I do Rummy (smirk). Sometimes I think a dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier but I guess we just need work with what we got. Well, gotta go. I got a photo op with Laura at noon. Somebody tell Karl not to worry, the plan of attack is under way. Hey Condi, try singing this one with me.

Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me
This I know, this I know
For the Bible, for the Bible
Tells me so, tells me so...
