"European Vacation" helps President Bush prepare for European Vacation
Satire
President Bush is having a grand old time in Europe but don't think he went into this trip unprepared. Far from it, in fact. Speaking to reporters today the president said he planned for his tour of Europe by watching "National Lampoon's European Vacation" fifteen or sixteen times.
Watching "European Vacation" prepared the president for the "vast cultural differences" between Europe and America. Among the things that the president learned about Europe are: never buy a beret with your name on it, never take your shoes off and stand in a fountain in Italy lest the charming Italian gentleman who is taking your picture runs off with the camera and that Big Ben and Parliament are best viewed over and over again to get a sense of how the light affects the objects throughout the day.
The president admitted that he identified with the character of Clark Griswold, "a man of integrity, a loving family man." |
