Publisher Confirms Bush Unknowingly Knew Nothing

November 23, 2007, WASHINGTON - Scott McClellan shocked the country earlier this week by releasing a teaser from his upcoming book: In A World Of Stooges, I Was Barely The Second Curly" McClellan stated that he "unknowingly passed on false information" and named "the president himself" as one of the people who passed this information. But after a brief visit from the NSA, Peter Osnos editor and chief of Public Affairs Books has promised that McClellan "did not intend to suggest that Bush lied to him."

"In fact," Osnos states: "Scott has made it clear to me that Bush knew nothing of any events taking place within his administration, and any information passed onto Scott was done only knowing that he wasn't aware of having any knowledge of knowing the words that were flowing from his lips. Furthermore, the President was in an altered state of consciousness during the writing of any memos, therefore knew not what he had written nor does he know not whether what he wrote was actually what was given to Scott McClellan at the time."

When asked to clarify his statements Mr. Osnos held up two heavily bandaged fingers and simply said: "I have to go now."

A later press release from Public Affairs Books has noted that the book is being rechecked for accuracy and promises that it will be a glowing memoir of life in the most honest and dignified Administration in history.
