It appears that President Bush can't stand getting grilled by The Onion. White House lawyers have contacted The Onion in an effort to stop the satrical newspaper from posting the presidential seal on its website, where it features a parody of President Bush's weekly radio address.
Given the Bush Administration's poor record on differentiating between news and propaganda (more accurately, on passing government-produced propaganda off as fair and unbiased reporting) this attack on The Onion is not unexpected. Perhaps the team at the White House feared that The Onion's Bush parodies were too 'reality-based' and, thus, could be legimately confused for an official statement from President Bush, whose actual statements suggest that he has been inhaling too deeply for too long from the ideological fumes fed to him by his Right-wing handlers.
We'll have to wait and see whether Bush turns this case over to the trial lawyers that he loved to attack during the 2005 campaign...
