BushCo’s Top 10 comments about inner-London traffic congestion:
10. Congestion doesn’t really exist.
9. Congestion is caused by nature.
8. Did you hear about our Clean Trafficways program? It relaxes laws so people can pollute more and make it look like skies might get clearer some day.
7. Have you thought about privatizing this?
6. If you drilled for oil under Buckingham Palace this really wouldn’t be a problem.
5. Everybody knows congestion charges can’t be part of a national traffic control program.
4. If your lapdog Prime Minister would use good old American dollars, so we don’t have to translate your foreign money, we might consider this.
3. Condi said you were comping us on this.
2. You guys drive on the wrong side of the road. That’s why it’s congested. And …
1. We’re studying this on the Internets.
