George W. Bush is shaking the public’s hands after a campaign fundraiser. Somebody hands him a baby.

George W. Bush looks closely at the baby. He licks his lips, and brings his mouth close to the baby. His thoughts, “MUST… RESIST… URGE… TO EAT.”

Meanwhile, Karl Rove is watching on a closed-circuit television. A microphone is rigged into Bush’s ear to guide Bush. Karl Rove is having a conniption fit.

“Georgie… DO NOT EAT THE BABY! I REPEAT: DO NOT EAT THE BABY!!”

Bush mouths the code “Kluggrat Kopa”, which translated means “Popping the bubble-wrapping”, idiomatically meaning essentially “I know I shouldn’t, but LOOK AT IT!”

George Bush is able to pull back at the last minute, and after kissing the baby hands it back to its mother.

Karl Rove breathes a sigh of relief.

Apologies to Rick Emerson.
