After more than seven years in office, George W Bush is determined to prove to the world that rumours of his impenetrable stupidity are false.
After months of intensive coaching in economics by a team of academics from Yale, Harvard and MIT, the president was finally encouraged to go public and demonstrate his new expertise:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Tuesday that U.S. gasoline prices are at record levels because global oil production is not keeping pace with demand.
“One of the main reasons for high gas prices is global oil production is not keeping up with growing demand,” Bush said at a news conference.
Journalists are reported to have gasped with amazement and broken into spontaneous applause.
There are rumours that a group of dedicated psychologists and sociologists are working with Mr Bush now. Desirable learning outcomes include ‘understand how people react to having their country invaded and occupied’.
