Or I saw a diner
when we got off the freeway.
Sure. I'll eat anything.
Okay.
So, just knock on my door
in a few minutes, okay?
Okay.
When you win, there is a feeling
that the people have spoken
and embraced your point of view.
And that's what I intend
to tell the Congress.
I made it clear
what I intend to do as the President.
It's one of the wonderful...
It's like earning capital.
You asked, "Do I feel free?"
Let me put it to you this way.
I earned capital in the campaign,
political capital,
and now I intend to spend it.
It is my style. That's what happened
after the 2000 election.
I earned some capital.
I've earned capital in this election.
And I'm gonna spend it for what...
...I've told the people I'd spend it on.
Come on.
Been a fantastic experience,
campaigning the country.
Come on.
You've seen it from one perspective,
I've seen it from another.
Saw you standing there at the last, final
rally in Texas, to my right over there.
I was observing you observe, and you saw
the energy. There was just something...
What are you doing?
I was just... I'll figure this out later.
Now that I've got
the will of the people at my back,
I'm going to start enforcing
the one-question rule.
That was three questions.
Our president, ladies and gentleman.
As far as Tony Blair's comments,
I agree with him.
Middle East peace
is a very important part of...
I always hate when people
tell me what to do, you know,
tie my shoes, or shave,
or get a haircut, anything like that.
Anything else you don't like?
Sorry.
So what did you do
before you worked on the campaign?
I was a teacher.
Really? What'd you teach?
Phys ed.
How'd you get into that?
I...
And there's yours.
Thanks.
And your salad.
Thank you.
And your biscuit.
So, tell me about that organization thing
up in Canada.
Well, it's a group that helps people
like us, who are moving up there,
find jobs and, you know, meet Canadians.
Sounds perfect.
Yeah, and the lady who runs it, Gloria,
seemed really nice on the phone.
Aren't you worried
about looking for work up there?
Well, graphic design's pretty portable,
and I can always do some freelance.
Plus, I'd really like to focus
on the Donkey Revolution.
What's that?
My website. The blog.
It's like the Daily Kos or Wonkette.
Remember?
I told you about it when we met.
So, 7:
00 tomorrow?What time, then?
Good night.
Good night.
Let me transfer you
to somebody who can help you. Hello, FBI?
Who's coming home
for dinner, in the feel-good comedy...
In today's top story,
Secretary of State Colin Powell...
...and three other Cabinet members have
apparently submitted their resignations,
though Powell has told reporters
that he will remain in the post
until a successor is named.
Letters of resignation were also delivered
by Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham,
Agriculture Secretary Anne Veneman,
and Education Secretary Rod Paige.
Concerns over the health
of Vice President Dick Cheney
continue despite...
Okay, I'll...
That was good.
Now, let's... Okay, let's put it in neutral.
Put your foot on the clutch.
Now, you're in first. Now, you ease...
Okay, yeah, you can turn that thing
any way you want.
And then... Okay, now, those are cars,
so we're gonna want...
Okay, you wanna go left.
Good. This is lovely.
What you're doing is right.
Okay, you know,
maybe I should keep driving for now.
The Left just got a little bit louder on
The Majority Report.
The Republican Party, it is
my contention, over these next four years,
are going to implode,
between the paleocons,
the neocons, the Evangelicals,
and the moderates. And they will be...
Hello, Mom?
Hi.
It's John.
Yeah. I...
I got a little surprise for you.
I'm in Oregon and I'm driving north.
Yeah. Exactly.
I guess around 4:00.
Mom, look, I'm in Oregon. It's hard to
predict exactly when I'm going to arrive
in Eastern Washington State,
eight hours away.
I will call you when I'm closer, okay?
Just me and a friend.
Yes, and she has blue hair,
and she might be a lesbian.
I'm just gonna tell you this now,
so you don't faint when you see her.
Would you just tell Dad, so he doesn't...
Okay, me, too. Bye.
You ready?
There's something I kind of neglected
to mention to you.
What's that?
My parents live
in a small town in Washington,
which, unfortunately,
we're gonna pass through tonight.
Why didn't you say anything?
I don't know.
I wasn't sure whether we should stop.
I don't mind parents,
as long as they're not mine.
I can't do this.
Come on, give me the keys.
I'll drive.
- Really?
- Come on.
When I laid in the sun,
I thought about you
Let's put something else on.
When you laid in the sun,
you said you saw
Wow, you got a lot of CDs.
I don't know how much time we're given
They're alphabetized. Aw.
Look, maybe you should just drive, huh?
Bushisms? What are these? I got it.
Yeah, here, I'll show you. Put one in.
And then after you'd left...
Here, it's a little project of mine.
You're free and freedom is beautiful.
And, you know, it'll take time
to restore chaos.
So? He messes up sometimes.
I don't see why people
make such a big deal about it.
...hauling in a lot of the key operators.
It's a huge deal. You have to listen.
The real story of his presidency
is in the f***-ups.
It's like Freudian slips.
...vast majority of Iraqis want to live
in a peaceful, free world.
And we will find these people,
and we will bring them to justice.
I know the human...
It's like he tells everyone the truth
in plain sight,
but people just pass it off
as him saying stupid things.
See, it's the mistakes
...the joy of Hanukkah.
I'm sorry, but you've got
way too much time on your hands.
If this were a dictatorship,
it'd be a heck of a lot easier.
Anything I should know
before we get there?
About my parents? Honestly,
they're gonna take one look at you and
slam the door in your face.
Probably call Homeland Security.
I'm not that bad.
I don't know if I can handle this.
Come on, John, grow up.
You're what, like, 30 years old?
Twenty-eight.
And you still haven't gotten over
the whole thing of
bringing home someone
your parents might not approve of?
It's a little more than that.
If I brought home a vegetarian,
Luna Bar-eating tight-ass like you,
my dad would probably be forcing you to
shotgun beers and bare-knuckle box him
before dinner was over.
But I'd bring you home anyway,
if I liked you.
Thanks.
Besides, we're not even dating.
Door's open.
Hello?
In here.
Could you give me a hand, please?
Hi, Mom.
Close the rotisserie, please.
Now.
How are you, John?
Mom, you know I don't eat meat.
Are you still doing that?
Last time I checked,
the agro-business-industrial complex
hasn't changed any.
What have we here?
Mom, this is Chloe Hamon.
Oh, dear.
Did you just pull yourself off a leash?
It's a necklace, Mom.
Actually, it's kind of a new look for me.
