Bush Team Rethinks Its Plan for Recovery

It's been a rough year for George W. Bush. But it appears the Bush team has the winning strategy to turn things around in 2006.

The list:

1. Blame Howard Dean.

2. Dismiss spying scandal by reminding Americans we're "only eavesdropping on the A-rabs."

3. Indict Patrick Fitzgerald.

4. Rename Iraq and get the hell out while everyone's busy putting up the "Welcome to West Iran" signs

5. Stop talking out of our asses.
