  • ...except with the anchor, Bush found a way to solve the problem... He sent an emissary to meet with the evil anchor and they negotiated a solution, rather then just stubbornly "staying the course" of futilely yanking on the rope.

  • That's a pretty funny satire idea.

    "Bush remained stuck as he refused to allow any face to face contact with the anchor until it agreed to remove itself from the rock."

  • Actually no, he sat for 8 1/2 minutes hoping the rock would just go away as a group of 1st graders looked on.

  • No, no, no, he issued an executive order stating the anchor didn't apply to him and the boat was really moving.
