Virginia Tech Shootings

There was a real old party atmosphere in the Oval office today with the news coming in over the wire about the Virginia shootings. Obviously its always nice to have something to take peoples minds off Iraq for a few weeks and of course we all love to see a little bit of blood spilled but most of all it's just so nice to get the opportunity to look Presidential. I made a statement at 4.00pm and was absolutely delighted with the way it went. I have been practicing my "Somber" look on a daily basis recently and felt that all my hard work is truly begining to pay off. Indeed I actually managed to get through the whole statement without smirking once! Afterwards Laura and Condi both said I looked fabulous and statesmanly.
Karl (Rove) was even more excited about the whole thing than I was and said my ratings should definitely get a 4 or 5 point boost out of this even if it only lasts for a couple of weeks. At the moment we're just trying to decide how to get the most milage out of the whole thing. Karl definitely things a trip to the campus would be a fantastic photo op and we're thinking perhaps personal messages to the victims famillies might play well. Meanwhile some of the boys in the backroom think this might be a great moment to start the war with Iran or maybe give a pre-emptive pardon to my old pal Wolfavits who of course has been having a bit of a hard time lately. Dick and Karl want me to save my pardons for them in case this whole Plume afair isn't over yet.
The only downside to the whole thing is of course it gives all these anti gun nuts a chance to shoot there dumb mouths off about how folks shouldn't have access to high tech weaponry and that whole line of bullshit, still overall definitely a good hair day. 8/10
