Sati-
Take a look at this and let me know if this is the sort of thing you want:
Ballast from the Past
When many Americans look upon the politicians of our day, they often
find themselves longing for yesterday. Statesmen of the past tend to
be looked upon with reverence. And perhaps they're right to look upon
them that way. Or, perhaps, they're wrong.
How would past presidents handle today's problems? We can only guess,
I suppose. Or... we can resurrect them in the form of shadow puppets.
That sounds more reasonable than guessing. Or maybe not. But it will
be more fun. And when you get right down to it, this country was
founded on fun. Or, as the Founders called it, "the pursuit of
happiness."
Let us, then, ask the presidents of yesteryear about tackling the
issues of today. For instance, the federal budget deficit; that needs
to be solved, I think. Do you agree? (Wait for applause)
Okay, well, let us start with the first president. George Washington,
are you there?
George Washington: I am, it would seem.
Sati: Well, Mr. President, we'd very much like to hear your advice on
how we might reduce the federal deficit.
George Washington: I would suggest that you stop spending so much money.
Sati: Well, thank you, sir. We may need some more specific advice,
though. Perhaps we should ask Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln, sir,
what say you?
Abraham Lincoln: Sati, I have looked over the nation's accounts, and
it appears that the southern states are taking in more money from the
federal government than they are paying in. Perhaps we should simply
get rid of the southern states.
Sati: Well... it is very odd, sir, with all due respect, that you of
all people should suggest that we let the southern states go.
Abraham Lincoln: It was my supposition that invading the South in
order to save our young Union was a necessity lest it collapse. But it
now occurs to me that the Union would probably be better off without
it.
Sati: We will take your advice under consideration, Mr. Lincoln sir.
But let us get some more input. President Kennedy?
John F. Kennedy: Er, uh, hello. Did you ever figure out who it was
that had me killed?
Sati: Well, there are different theories. But I actually just wanted
to ask you about the federal deficit.
John F. Kennedy: To hell with the federal deficit! Have you ever been
shot before?
Sati: I don't believe so, no.
John F. Kennedy: Well, let me tell you, er, Sati, it tends to distract
you from the issues, when you've been shot. So who shot me?
Sati: It was Lee Harvey Oswald.
John F. Kennedy: It was Johnson! I know it was Johnson. A Texan will
do anything to be president!
Sati: Well, President Kennedy is in one of his moods. Let's move on to
someone else. Maybe we could ask Nixon about the federal deficit?
Richard Nixon: Oh, of course. "Maybe we could ask Nixon." Let's all
pick on Nixon. We've always got Nixon to kick around. I suppose I'm to
blame for the whole damned deficit-
Sati: Sir, I didn't mean to imply anything of the sort. In fact, we
just wanted to hear your opinion on the matter.
Richard Nixon: That information is covered by executive privilege,
Sati, and you're not going to get your grubby little hands on it! I'm
not thinking of me, I'm thinking of future presidents! I'm just trying
to save the executive branch from overreaching legislators and the
damned Supreme Court and that Bob Woodstein or whatever his damned
name is.
Sati: Perhaps we should move on to someone-
Richard Nixon: Bernword, that's what his name was.
Sati: Sir, you're disrupting the show. Let's move on to Jimmy Carter, then.
Jimmy Carter: Well, that's not fair. I'm not even dead yet. In fact,
I've got another book out. You can buy it at most major retailers-
Sati: Please, sir, you can't peddle your books in the middle of my
performance. I'm not Larry King.
Jimmy Carter: You're not? Oh, I'm sorry. I must be in the wrong
studio. Could you... could you call me a cab?
Sati: Ask backstage, they'll take care of it. But we still need to
figure out this deficit. President Reagan, perhaps you can help?
Ronald Reagan: One second, Sati, I'm calling a cab for Carter.
Sati: I see. That's very nice of you.
Ronald Reagan: Oh, I've done it before. Back in 1980.
Sati: Okay. Are you done getting him a cab yet?
Ronald Reagan: Yep. Bye, Jimmy. (Pause) There he goes again!
Sati: Now, Mr. Reagan, what of the deficit?
Ronald Reagan: Oh, you don't want my advice. Do you have any idea how
much deficit spending I signed into law?
Sati: Actually, I do rememb-
Ronald Reagan: It was a lot. A whole lot.
Sati: I'm sure we all appreciate your honesty. Well, we'll ask the man
who served as your vice president. President George Herbert Walker
Bush?
George Bush Sr.: I'm sorry, uh, Sati, I'm a little busy.
Sati: Oh, of course, sir. We all understand. Is everything alright?
George Bush Sr: Fine, fine. Just problems with the kids.
Sati: I see.
George Bush Sr.: Yeah. I've got to go.
Sati: Certainly, sir. Who else have we here?
Bill Clinton: Hello, Sati.
Sati: President Clinton, good to see you. How do you suggest we handle
the deficit?
Bill Clinton: You should elect my damned wife in 2012, that's how you
should handle the deficit.
Sati: Sir, we need something more specific, like a program to cut.
Bill Clinton: Just get her out of the damned house for a couple of
nights and I'll pay off the damned deficit myself with my speaking
fees. You know how much I charge for a speech these days? A lot. A
damned lot. Speaking of which, where do I send this invoice, to you or
your manager?
Sati: Mr. Clinton, you never said anything about charging.
Bill Clinton: Yeah, I don't talk about a lot of things, Sati. You
don't even want to know some of the stuff I've pulled off in my life.
Whoo, there was this one time back in Arkansas there was this real
scuzzy whorehouse where the prostitutes all had only one-
Sati: Sir, sir. I'm going to have to cut you off. I apologize to
everyone for that. I'm very sorry. Let's... we have one last
president. President George W. Bush?
George W. Bush: I'm right here, President Sati.
Sati: Okay. I have, uh, not actually served as president, but-
George W. Bush: Are you sure?
Sati: I... I believe I am sure, yes.
George W. Bush: Well, all right, Senator Sati. Now what'd you want to
ask me again?
Sati: We wanted your opinion on how we might fix the federal deficit.
George W. Bush: Look, Sati, I'd like to help you, dude, but I've got
my own problems. Dad just cut off my allowance again.
Sati: Well... I'm sorry to hear that.
George W. Bush: Yeah, but mom's been sneaking me twenties. Heh heh heh!
Sati: It's good that you are staying busy, sir.
George W. Bush: Yeah, idnint? Oops, dad's coming not supposed to be
on the phone after 8! Later, Sati! Hit me up on Facebook!
Sati: Certainly. Well, ladies and gentlemen, I promised you a solution
to the deficit... and I think I have delivered. We ought to simply
stop electing presidents!
Thanks,
Barrett
