"I hear the voices, and I read the front page, and I know the speculation. But I'm the decider, and I decide what is best." — President Bush
When I first heard that quote from Bush it brought to mind an image of the dog Napoleon from Disney's The Aristocats.
"Wait a minute. I'm the leader! I'm the one that says when we go.
Of course, in my head I change "leader" to "decider" and change "we go" to "Rumsfeld goes" and so forth.
A weak effort at parody, I know. That's what comes with living with a 2-year-old who watches almost nothing but Disney movies, I guess.
But other folks out there have done a far better job of lampooning this newest Bushism. Frequent commenter Ann pointed me to this reworking of a popular Dr. Suess tale.
Also, via Atrios, comes this wickedly funny version of the Beatles' "I Am The Walrus".
Interestingly, "decider" is actually a legitimate word according to my dictionary, but it is certainly obscure.
