REPORTERS MISREPORTED REASON FOR BUSH’S VETO OF REPORTER SHIELD BILL
By R J Shulman
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Post Times Sun Dispatch has learned the real reason why President George W. Bush is planning to veto the bill overwhelmingly passed by the House that would shield reporters from having to reveal their sources to government requests. “It is not to protecticate national security as some say,” said President Bush, “as me and Dick Cheney already know who the sources are before even the reporters do thanks to some tapitations of the wires and dropping of the eaves that we do to listen in to terrorist American killers.”

“The real reason I am going to ink my veto pen,” the President told the Post Times Sun Dispatch, “is that they are just reporters, while I am the decider and while the decider can report, the reporters can’t decide and I can show that I am a revelant decider by using the veto. Now, the American people must understand that veto is vote spelled sideways and the Republicans are going to need all the votes they can swing their way in the next election.”
