A Faustian Bargain Struck

I think the Democrats compromised with the President.

He said: "Let me send more troops!" and they said: "No frigging way. We can't let you get away with that overtly." So a plume of black smoke appeared, and Karl Rove slithered out and said: "It'ssss okay. You can sssstill both have your cake and eats it too."

"You Georgie, you will sssstart being all environmental and shit."

"Awww!!! Dun wanna!"

"SSSSSILENCE. You don't really have to mean it, just act like it. Ssssay ssssomething about Darfur while you're at it too."

*pissy W*

"You... you DEMOCRATSSSS. *gags* You will give Georgie a lot of money. You will sssay itsss for the troopses, because you want to sssupport them and that you're totally powerlessss to overcome the veto. And you'll get Georgie backing all that your whiny liberal friendsss want and it'll ssseem like a big win for Georgie to become 'green'."

"Wow, Karl, you're really smart. You should come work for us when W is out of the White House."

"We'll ssssee..." (aside) "heh heh heh... and I get to collect more SSSSOULSS of DEAD SOLDIERS!!" *giggles, corpulent fat chins wiggling with glee*
