TRANSCRIPT OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S MEGA-CONSEQUENTIAL LUNCHTIME PHOTO OP WITH IRISHLANDIAN ROCK MUSIC PLAYER "BONER"
Officious White House Transcript





(Long pause; brief coughing)

THE PRESIDENT: G'day, mate!

BONER: I'm Irish.

(Long pause, sounds of chairs being pulled out)

THE PRESIDENT: It's real nice of you to take time out of your music practice stuff to be seen coming to lunch with me.

BONER: It's my pleasure, Mr. President. I welcome any opportunity to speak to world leaders about the plight of Africa's poor and starving.

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Hungry?

BONER: Not particularly.

THE PRESIDENT: I am. Famished! Got one of those belly ouchies you get when you don't eat a lot for breakfast, you know? Guts is all gurgly. Got up real early, and hit the treadmill till I was almost sweatin' pee-pee, then... let's see... hung out and things like that till you showed up. Say, Boner...

BONER: Bono, Mr. President. BON-O.

THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Well I like nicknames, so it's Boner, Boner Christ, or Boner McFaggyShades. So take your pick. It's my thing, see? My shtick, like the winking, or sneaking a shot of bourbon in the White House garage late at night, or blind, bull-headed loyalty to ass-kissers. Like you and biting the heads off of bats or whatever.

BONER: That was Ozzy Osbourne, Mr. President. I'm front man for one of the biggest selling rock acts in the world, U2.

THE PRESIDENT: No. I'm President of the United States.

BONER: I'm lead singer for U2.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, you can be my leader singer, yes.

BONER: Sweet Jesus. The band is named U2.

THE PRESIDENT: Oh, I know! HAR HAR! I know. Just funnin' ya. You know this one, "There once was a man from Nantucket..."

BONER: Mr. President, I'm here to discuss how the West can better care for the world's millions of poor who live on pennies a day. I think, as a Christian at the very least, you can agree that there's a disparity between—

THE PRESIDENT: You ain't gonna ask me anything about...like, any stuff...like about the war, or indictments, or Vice President Rice?

BONER: Excuse me?

THE PRESIDENT: Naw, naw. Of course not. Let's eat!

(Long pause. Sounds of plates being set on tables. Pause. Sounds of cutlery clanking, people chewing. Sounds of "Mmmmmmmm!", snorting, and gulping.)

THE PRESIDENT: Pass the ketchup?

(Long pause. Sounds of slurping, smacking, and loud swallowing continue.)

THE PRESIDENT: You gonna eat that?

(Long pause. Sounds of mastication continue. Pause. A loud belch is heard.)

THE PRESIDENT: Pretty good vittles, huh?

BONER: I don't think I've ever had a "Manwich."

THE PRESIDENT: You're a mick, huh? Want a beer? You guys love beer, right? So why you let the pasty-ass Brits kick your ass for all that time, anyway?

BONER: I do not want a beer.

THE PRESIDENT: Suit yourself. I ain't got no weed or nothing though.

BONER: I'm here on a mission of goodwill and I'd appreciate...

THE PRESIDENT: You ever seen a Leprechaun?

BONER: Sir, my time is limited.

THE PRESIDENT: No, no. Take your time.

BONER: I don't have that much time. I'm very busy.

THE PRESIDENT: Sing me a song! You know "Piano Man?"

BONER: No.

THE PRESIDENT: "Oakee from Muskogee?"

BONER: No, Mr. President.

THE PRESIDENT: "Inna Gadda Da Vida?"

BONER: Mr. President, PLEASE!

THE PRESIDENT: Jeez, Boner. Don't get all Irish uppity with me, I know how you people like to scrap and lose.

BONER: Alright. Look, I would like to be on the record discussing third world debt, AIDS in Africa and...

THE PRESIDENT: Hey, Mr. Super-Famous Band Guy, who was it that wrote a hugely symbolic fake check to the tune of $15 billion dollars to those whiny grease stains in Africastan? Me, that's who. And I swear they can cash that sucker just as soon as the next Administration gets around to figuring out how to bury the whole empty promise.

BONER: That just won't do, sir!

THE PRESIDENT: Sit down the fuck down, cabbage breath. You want to fucking save the world and feed the hungry? Then why the fuck don't you spend the gazillion dollars you make struttin' your saggy middle-aged fanny around singing teenage love songs and buy a couple million afro-wearing skeletons a Big Mac? Don't you know you change the world one word, one handshake, one meal at a time? Hell, I know that...which is why I don't. Me and my pals like our money and we want to keep it because the world sucks, and if you got it you keep it, or you share it and lose it, dig?

Why do you think you're here, anyway? In case you haven't heard, Team Bush is on the ropes, and I DESERVE a little fluff PR. So quit fucking ruining my lunch, and let's sit here all quiet like for a bit longer, then you go tell the press folk how great our talk was. And if you don't, you're a fucking small-minded celebrity fucktard if you think your star power is real power. Ever heard of customs? The IRS? A fucking surface-to-air missile no one can trace? That's power. Here's another example: you cheat on your wife on tour. I got pictures!

BONER: This meeting is over.

THE PRESIDENT: Just so you don't think I'm a total greedy corporate twat: I did come up with an idea where we give our surplus of swimming pool goggles to folks in Africa so they can keep the flies outta their eyes when they're all dyin'.

BONER: Thank you, Mr. President. I will show myself out.

THE PRESIDENT: Actually, Boner. My heavily-armed Secret Service dudes will. Oh, and Boner?

BONER: What?

THE PRESIDENT: Too bad the Africans can't eat U2 autographed iPods, huh? (Laughs)

13. I have a great Bono story.....
I was backstage at the Austin Music Hall a few years ago when Bono strolled by .
Strolled by smoking a huge cigar and wearing a derby and nothing else.
Surrounded by 4 totally hot chicks- each carrying full-length mirrors so that Bono could witness his every cigar-smoking hat-wearing step.

Pretty weird

14. Well... neither of the 2 in that picture are taken seriously.
Edited on Thu Oct-20-05 10:59 PM by D__S
I see Bono Yoko Ono still wears those big designer $$$$ "I'm too sexy for my sunglasses" eye-wear.

Doesn't the favored son have some hair up his ass about others wearing 'inappropriate attire' in the Oval Office or during meetings?

I'm pretty sure he does.

WTF is up with that painting in the upper right? Looks like a new-cle-ah explosion or petro refinery.

Basket of roses in the background? Who paid for that? Did Saint Bono bring them?

I do like the rug though. Where can I get one?

19. LOL, one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.
They've got bush down, that's for sure. Starts out all sweet and buddy-buddy and as soon as he doesn't get his way -- bam!! -- he turns on you like a rabid dog.

It looks like bush's mother has been decorating again. That's a very gnarly something or 'nother above the mantel. :wtf:

20. I have second thoughts on this post.
When I first saw this on the Daily Show it was ha ha funny. I've received this by PM, posting with permission:

"Bono is a real activist, not a doper like Elvis. And Bush at his best isn't half as smart as Tricky Dick."

21. How long, how long must we sing this song?
I can’t believe the news today
Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away
How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...

’cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...

Broken bottles under children’s feet
Bodies strewn across the dead end street
But I won’t heed the battle call
It puts my back up
Puts my back up against the wall

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday bloody sunday...)
(allright lets go!)

And the battle’s just begun
There’s many lost, but tell me who has won
The trench is dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters torn apart

Sunday, bloody sunday
Sunday, bloody sunday

How long...
How long must we sing this song?
How long? how long...

’cause tonight...we can be as one
Tonight...
Tonight...

Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)
Tonight
Sunday, bloody sunday (tonight)
(come get some!)

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away
Wipe your tears away
I wipe your tears away
(sunday, bloody sunday)
I wipe your blood shot eyes
(sunday, bloody sunday)

Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
Sunday, bloody sunday (sunday, bloody sunday)
(here I come!)

And it’s true we are immune
When fact is fiction and tv reality
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die

The real battle yet begun (sunday, bloody sunday)
To claim the victory jesus won (sunday, bloody sunday)
On...

Sunday bloody sunday
Sunday bloody sunday...

24. I like Bono! He is a true activist who is using his influence and wealth
in a positive manner.

I am perplexed why he has been meeting with Shrub and Santorum lately though. They have nothing in common with him.

25. Note: Bush and Bono are about the SAME HEIGHT- like 5'6" apparently
Edited on Fri Oct-21-05 10:25 AM by Carni
I have seen Bono in person and he is quite short...so much for the bush camp's bullshit about * being 6'1"

Aside from that I was always a U2 fan, but I am totally disgusted by this pandering by Bono--is the man so dense that he actually thinks he'll get any $$$ or *compassion* out of that lying Sack of shit for AIDS relief?

Note to Bono: Rediscover your brain and your common sense and go back to bitch slapping right winged politicians/ not kissing their asses.

27. From the look on Bono's face, that seems like the conversation...
That probably is exactly what it is like trying to talk to that self absorbed lunatic!

You know, Bush really isn't all that tall, and when you look at him next to Rumsfeld and Cheney, they are even shorter.

And to think during the 2004 election they kept saying Dennis Kucinich was too short too be president, he is about the same height as Bush.
