"One day my daddy told me, 'Damnit Jr., when YOU'RE President you can play frisbee golf in the oval office, until then, get the hell out!' That's the day I decided I'd do this here President thing."

"I knew my legacy was cemented in history on that proud day in 2003, on the USS Lincoln, when I was able to claim our victory in Iraq and, perhaps more importantly, the liberation of the Iraqi people."

Here are a few possibilities

"Dear America, Welcome to Dumpsville. Population you."

"I can't believe I ate the whole thing."

Still I think the most likely will be this...

"This is George. He lived in Africa." What will follow is a word for word plagerization of Curious George.

People say I was the life of the party because I told a joke or two.

This is a Disneyland original Little Long-Playing Record, and I am your story reader. I am now going to begin to read the story of My Pet Goat. You can read along with me in your book. You will know it's time to turn the page when Tinker Bell rings her little bells like this! Let's begin now.

'It was 1972, while in service to this great nation of ours, that I first considered the possibility of reaching for the office of the Presidency. I was engaged in a recon mission in the backwoods of Alabama, and got lost. (The dude said the kegger was two klicks left of the old Smythe plantation- asshole was probably high). Wandering around the swampy, snake infested woods I began to panic, and in my despair I swore that I would give anything for just a drink, preferably Jack Daniels, with maybe little line of the white stuff to keep me sharp. Suddenly, the forest opened up, and I found myself standing at a crossroad. There in the center was Daddy's bud, Dick, holding a shotgun in one hand and some sort of document in the other.......

Well, I guess y'all know the rest.'

It was the call I dreaded making, the one where I conceded to Gore. We called it the setup. I wasn't sure I could keep a straight face.

When future historians look back down the anals, I believe, in my heart, they will find I have achieved more accomplisheds than I have not. For instance, Abraham Lincoln, in whose bedroom I have stood, freed the blacks from slavery. That's pretty historical, but get this, I made one president! The misunderestimations of me have not taken into account all the things that will happen just because I was the deciderer in chief. It's not just the things you do, but the things that get done because you did, and you can quote me on that. Let me tell you, being the president in history will be a lot easier than being the president in person, and it's something I'm forward-looking to it.

"It's not just the things you do, but the things that get done because you did." - GW Bush
