Like a C.E.O., not publicly elected, but appointed by a board Judge: Don't let us down, George. wink Bush: Hot damn! I won't Billy-Boy! Promotes the careers of his buddies to reward loyalty and strengthen alliances Bush: Because we have peace and a budget surplus, we must drill in the arctic. Because we are at war and have a budget deficit, we must drill in the arctic. Favors the corporate culture of strict employee oversight and peer evaluations Mailman: It looks like... Yes! She's making rice pilaf! Phone: We know. By the way, your left sock is drooping. Grants himself plenty of leisure time, including extravagant month-long vacations Bush: Yee-hah! Girls on trampolines! Comedy genius! Most C.E.O.-like: institues shortterm financial strategies designed to pump up the portfolios of the elite, at the long-term expense of the public Bush: Tax cuts! Especially for the rich! Woo hoo! Guard: Keep the helicopters ready.
