Let's Give The WH Some Cheeseburgers!
In honor of this excerp from O'Neill's book:

...In the book, O'Neill says the tone of his relationship with Bush was set at their very first meeting where he was offered the job of Treasury Secretary.

Instead of a detailed discussion, Bush was more interested in why the cheeseburgers he had ordered were slow to appear. He interrupted the talk to summon White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card.

``You're the chief of staff. You think you're up to getting us some cheeseburgers?'' O'Neill recalled Bush saying. ``Card nodded. No one laughed. He all but raced out of the room.''...


I think we should order some cheeseburgers and have them delivered to the WH - it's our patriotic duty!

6. Remember the Letterman show
where he reached over and grabbed the jacket of a Letterman staffer and used it to wipe his glasses. He thinks everyone around him is a servant. He is vile on so many levels.

4. Clash lyrics still relevant 20 years after written. Magnificent Seven:
Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A. M. !
Move y'self to go again
Cold water in the face
Brings you back to this awful place
Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
Must get up an' learn those rules
Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet
A. M. , the F. M. the P. M. too
Churning out that boogaloo
Gets you up and gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?
Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony
So cheap and real phony
Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents
English pounds and Eskimo pence

You lot! What?
Don't stop! Give it all you got!
You lot! What?
Don't stop! Yeah!

Working for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to sophistication
She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
Better work hard - I seen the price
Never mind that it's time for the bus
We got to work - an' you're one of us
Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours jerk

"When can I tell 'em wot I do?
In a second, maaan... oright Chuck!"

Wave bub - bub - bub - bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss
But anyway lunch bells ring
Take one hour and do your thanng!
Cheeesboiger!

What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kickin' Gypsies on the pavement
Now the news - snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do - in T. V. land

You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?

So get back to work an' sweat some more
The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door
It's no good for man to work in cages
Hits the town, he drinks his wages
You're frettin', you're sweatin'
But did you notice you ain't gettin'?
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To take your car outta that gear
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To get your car outta that gear
Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels
Came to the checkout at the 7 - 11
Marx was skint - but he had sense
Engels lent him the necessary pence

What have we got? Yeh - o, magnificence!!

Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
Went to the park to check on the game
But they was murdered by the other team
Who went on to win 50 - nil
You can be true, you can be false
You be given the same reward
Socrates and Milhous Nixon
Both went the same way - through the kitchen
Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
Who's more famous to the billion millions?
News Flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie
Oooohh... bub - bye

Magnificence!!

FUCKING LONG, INNIT?

5. WHERE'S THE BEEF?
In the book it is even weirder than that. O'Neill has a short walk from Alcoa's govt. affairs office on K street but Cheney (ever secret) has him picked up in a black van and brought through the spoiled milk smelling service elevator.

O'Neill enters a boardroom with all the curtains pulled shut. He can't see anything at first. When his eyes adjust to the dark he sees someone a few feet in front of him.....it's Cheney. There is someone or something moving around behind Dick finally O'Neill realizes that it is W.

:scared:


135 pages through, you HAVE to read this book!!!

7. With pretzels stuffed inside?
Covered by the cheese so they aren't easily spotted?
