I heard a beautiful fairytale today...

[Virginia Dare]

Once upon a time in Washington D.C.

There was a terrible financial crisis, the end of the world was nigh.

Bush the awful and Paulson the terrible came up with a plan, which would screw ordinary taxpaying Americans. The terrible awful Democrats welcomed Bush and Paulson's plan with open arms, hahaha they said twisting their mustaches, screw the ordinary taxpaying American people.

The good republicons were screaming, no no, this plan is terrible, what about the ordinary American folks? But Bush, Paulson and the Democrats' hearts were hard.

Da da da da!

In rides John McWayne on his white horse to save the day! He vanquished Bush and Paulson! He vanquished the dastardly Democrats! He made everybody go back to the table and "protect the taxpayers' interests". Ordinary taxpaying Americans are saved!

All hail the brave hero and patriot, John McPOW McWayne McChrist

The End

2. They sure know how to spin a tale, don't they?

Yep, this story sounds very familiar to me too!
