Transcript:

Bush said he was sure Iraq was a threat, but it turns out he was fooled by silver-tongued CIA liars. (Bush: I'm just a good ol' oil boy from Texas. You slick Intel guys suckered me into invading Iraq!) (Man: Welcome to the district, chum.) How could he have been taken in so easily? One thing is certain: it wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. (Man 2: Watch the Red Queen, pick the right card and win!) (Bush: I see it! I see it!) (Man 3: Cheney! No more 3-card monte scams on George!) Some will argue that it's dangerous to let a guileless rube lead the world's sole superpower. (Woman: I could really get to like you if you were the kind of man who bought a girl another drink, and bombed NAJAF.) (Bush: Barkeep! One more for the lady! Rummy take out NAJAF!) But one man's clueless bumpkin is another's free thinker. (Man 2 : So you see, the very fact that millions of people lost their jobs proves the tax cuts worked.) (Man 3: Yes! I could see that! Don't look dumb. Don't look dumb.)
