Interviewing the Government about Katrina

Here's how it goes,

"Sir, why are all those people dying? Why is the city on fire?"

"Lie. Lie lie. 9/11. Lie lie. Heros. Rebuild in no time. Big Lie."

"But we've known for years that the levies would break if hurricane would hit New Orleans. Look, here's a study."

"Lie lie lie. Tremendous job. Lie lie lie. Possible link to Al Queda. Dodge. Distortion."

"We're getting reports on the ground that people are shooting at the rescue workers."

"Lie. Homosexuals. Liberals. Terrorist-sympathizers. Ad hominum. Smear victims."

"How can you say that?"

"Lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie lie. Definitely looking into possible Al Queda links."

"How would you assess the situation now? Do you think the government should be doing more?"

"Everything is going fine. Now I have to cut short this interview, I have a golf appointment with Tiger Woods."

(Aside, later: "Damn it, Karl. How come the usual bullshit isn't working???")
