 You
sure it's okay if I stop by to see the president now? |
 Not
a problem at all, Chief. Let's go on in. Hey, as long as we're here, I want
to introduce you to someone. Reese, this is our new Chief of Staff, Joshua
Bolten. |
 Hi. |
|
We
call her the Secretary of Wishes but really she's more like the president's
sitter. |
|
That's
right. |
|
I
mean, what the heck are we supposed to do? We can't tell anybody outside the
immediate circle about the president's transformation. It's a national
security matter. People would panic if they realized that the national
figurehead was actually Jambi the Genie. |
|
Ah,
you never can tell, Karl. I mean, you go back a few years and Jambi had a
heckuva Q Score. Anyway, let me see this small, strange president of
yours........ Wow! |
 Josh!
What the hell are you doing here? I hope you haven't come here with a wish
to reduce that deficit of yours. I've been working on wish granting for days
and still haven't got the hang of it. Mekka lekka whatever. |
|
No
wishes today, my friend. I'm just moving in as the new Chief of Staff and
wanted to pay my courtesies. |
|
Heh
heh, no need to rush, Boltzy. Hate to bust your bubble, but I think Card is
in for the long run. |
|
George,
I didn't want... |
|
Don't
call me George, Turd Blossom! |
|
Sorry,
Mister President. And I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about our decision to
replace Andy. We thought it best to keep it... |
|
You
can't shake up my staff! I like a stable staff and I'm still the president! |
|
We
know that, sir, and you can bet your bottom dollar that I respect that
greatly. The whole country thanks you for your great serviceability. Okay,
maybe not the whole country, but the point is - Thank you. Thank you very
much. But the bottom line is... |
|
Oh
lord, not a bottom line... |
|
The
bottom line is, I'm Jambi's Chief of Staff, not yours. |
 |
|
You
just don't look very presidential anymore. And you know what the Vice
President says - "Perception is reality". |
|
I
never did understand what he meant by that. But I'm still the president,
right? |
|
That's
a really complicated question, and I promise that we will have Gonzales take
a look at the situation in the event that we decide to reveal the situation
to him. |
|
But
I've got the president's brain. |
|
I can see we're getting nowhere with this... Okay, George, keep your
chin up. We're off to see the boss. |
 But
I'm... |
|
See
you later, Sir. Mind locking up, Reese? |
|
Sure. |
