(WESTERN ROMANCE THEME)

Garrison Keillor:.....coming soon to a theater near you, Brokebutt Mountain, a love story about two cowboys who had to face up to their feelings for each other—

Tim Russell (CHENEY): Good morning, Mr. President.

TR (BUSH): I wish you wouldn't call me "Mr. Presiden," Dick. Call me—Bushy. And don't stand over there on that side of the desk. Come around here. You and me—we started out and you were like a daddy to me and I was scared and you held my hand and then— I started having feelings about you.......

TR (CHENEY): You sure you don't have a taping system set up here, Mr. President.

TR (BUSH): I didn't ask for this to happen, but it happened, and now I intend to stay the course. I just want to hold your big bald head in my arms and —

TR (CHENEY): Mr. President, please— don't—

TR (BUSH): I was giving my State of the Union and I could hear you behind me, clapping your big beautiful hands.

TR (CHENEY): God, I wish I could quit you.

TR (BUSH): (SINGS) "I feel pretty, O so pretty, I feel witty and pretty and gay—" What do you say we take another trip to New Orleans? See how the Reconstruction is coming along. (THEME)

GK: Brokebutt Mountain......they were lonely, they didn't expect it to happen, but when it did, they were helpless to make it go away.
