"Sorry, folks, the Mission Accomplished Show for today
has been called off due to lack of interest, ha! ha! ha!
Instead, I'm standing in front of the U. S. S. Ronald
Reagan to remind you it costs $250,000 a day to keep
this carrier in service while it's docked here in San
Diego. And that's chump change compared to the
$2.5 million a day it takes to keep it afloat while
at sea. Is anybody here in the mood for a Tea Party
to protest excessive government spending and
fiscal irresponsibility? I didn't think so. Like me,
you understand that without the Military-Industrial
Complex, our economy would go, as they say, 'belly
up like a sea otter', ha! ha! ha!"
