More on that 9/11 "docudrama." Now apparently the screenwriter is admitting to just making stuff up. Hell, I can do that. Here's my "docudrama" of the first moments when Dubya learned about the attack. For reference, you may want to check the Wikipedia entry on "The Pet Goat", or the Memory Hole's video of Bush sitting on his ass for what seems an eternity after hearing of the attacks.
InT. classroom, morning
The PRESIDENT is sitting in front of a class of primary school children while the teacher begins a lesson.
Teacher
Open your book up to lesson 60 on page 153.
ANDREW CARD enters the room and leans over to speak to Bush.
ANDrew card
A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack.
TEACHER
At the count of three everyone should be on page 153. One...
George W. Bush (V.O.)
Oh, jeez.
TEACHER
Two...
GEORGE W. BUSH (V.O.)
Ah, crap.
TEACHER
Three. Okay, is everybody ready?
GEORGE W. BUSH (V.O.)
I think I left the iron plugged in.
TEACHER
Okay, everyone. Let's start with the title of the story, and read the first paragraph out loud. Ready?
The class begins reading the story in unison. As they read, the teacher taps her pointer stick against the board in a steady rythm. Caught up in the moment, Bush's thoughts begin following the same cadence.
Class
The Pet Goat. A girl got a pet goat. She liked to go running with her pet goat. She played with her goat in her house. She played with her goat in her yard. But the goat did some things that made the girl's dad mad. The goat ate things. He ate cans and he ate canes. He ate pans and he ate panes. He even ate capes and caps.
GeoRGE W. BUSH (V.O.)
Oh, my god I'm fucked. I don't know what to do. This was not in the manual. I think I have to pee. Can a goat live in a house? Can a goat live with a mouse? Wait a second. How can a goat fly a plane. What? They think a goat makes Dad mad. They should try snorting cocaine with embassy stationery. Man, I could use a line right now.
