Hu's On First?

As adapted by Lightning Rod

Abbott: Well, Costello, I'm going to Washington with you. It's the start of the political season and you can't tell the players without a program.

Costello: The first thing you need to know is that we have three branches of government. Like first, second and third base.

Abbott: I see that the president of China is visiting Washington this week.

Costello: Who is the president of China?

Abbott: Hu.

Costello: That's what I asked.

Abbott: And I told you. Hu is at the White House. And in Congress we have What The Fuck and on third base at the Supreme Court we have I Don't Give A Damn.

Costello: So who is in the White House?

Abbott: That's what I said.

Costello: But what the fuck is his name?

Abbott: No, Hu is his name. What the Fuck is in Congress.

Costello: I don't know. I'm still trying to find out who is in the White House.

Abbott: The same people that have always been in the White House, they are just shuffling the chairs to make it look like they are doing something different. But today Hu is in the White House.

Costello: Ok, I don't give a damn who is in the White House.

Abbott: No, I Don't Give A Damn is on the Supreme Court.

Costello: Do you have a pitcher?

Abbott: Yes, Dick Cheney is the pitcher. That's one of the things my gay friends always ask...who is pitching and who is catching? Cheney threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals' Major League Baseball home opener last week. He got boo-ed.

Costello: I'll bet it was for his greedy, manipulative big business policies.

Abbott: No, I think it was because he throws like a girl.

Costello: I still don't know who is in the White House, but what the fuck, I don't give a damn.

Abbott: Welcome to Washington, Lou. That's why they call it the Bush League.

"shuffling chairs around to make it look like they are doing something different".

Perfect.

(Titanic deck chairs, they are).

What we need is a triple play! If there were four outs in the game we could do the 'supreme' court too. The game's not over yet, lrod. Hu's holding all the chips though and Bush knows it. Alliances change, rearrange, things get strange. When the dollar devaluation is announced by Ben 'helicopter' Bernanke - probably this year - it's not gonna be very pretty. 'Strange days indeed, mama. Strange days indeed.'

Be well,
