Transcript:

Man: Good afternoon. I have a brief announcement to make. Today at 11:05 A.M., Mrs. Bush encountered a large rat while swimming in the White House pool...the president, upon witnessing the encounter, immediately summoned his crisis management team, who reviewed the options. A determination was made that Mr. Bush should use force to repel the rat. After consulting with the appropriate memebers of Congress, old friends all, at 2:00 P.M., the president began to implement his policy, and we expect the crisis to be resolved shortly. George Bush: Shoo! Shoo! Barbara Bush: Never mind, George. He's gone.
