Bush and Iraq: a Metaphor

It's old news that George Bush thinks God speaks to him. I saw this comic today and I thought it was a perfect metaphor for what goes on in Bush's head. Just replace "instincts and subconscious" with "God" and "Obi-Wan" with "Billy Graham":



If only Bush were as smart as the stick figure. In actuality, Bush would insist NG4 is a legal move, would accuse any officials who disputed his move of being cowards, would modify the chess rulebook with a pen, would imply the editor of the rulebook is a traitor, and would replace all chess officials with members of his Texas staff.

Sean Hannity would broadcast interviews round-the-clock with a group called Chessplayers for Truth, The New York Times would feature an article on the front page called "Chess Rulebook Was Incorrect, Officials Say," by Michael Gordan, and FOX would display the text, "Are Liberals too Wussy to Play by the Rules?"
