President Bush Uses Proper Grammar
Washington, DC -
The nation is in shock today after President George W. Bush spoke two consecutive sentences successfully without catachresis and with proper adherence to ordinary grammatical rules. "We're as shocked as anyone," says one White House official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, "but I don't think this is a cause for panic. Considering how many things the president says in any given day, we should probably pass this off to 'pure chance' and leave it at that."
The president's correct English grammar usage came in response to questions from reporters about new claims that archeologists had discovered the lost city of Atlantis. "Everyone knows where Atlantis is," said Bush, evidencing great exasperation. "It's the capital of Georgia!"
"Although factually astray in this matter, the president's remarks can at least be said to be grammatically correct," said Russell Higgins, a professor of semiotics at Harvard. Higgins, in an interview with Bill O'Reilly on The O'Reilly Factor last night, said that in his opinion, "we should all find this incident encouraging - a sign, perhaps, of a leaner, smarter administration."
O'Reilly, however, accused Higgins of being 'a liberal' and 'an idiot' for daring to contradict the leader of the free world on an insignificant matter of geography in such a blatant, America-hating fashion.
Meanwhile, the president of the small African nation of Bunwabe was only one of many world leaders who called to congratulate the president on his correct grammatical usage. He cites Bush's new found grasp of language to some Pimsleur audio tapes that he lent him earlier this year. "It is felicitous that such a small oblation should ameliorate the president's rural patois so fructiferously," he told reporters. "He is indeed a most meretricious world leader."
