Where The President Learned Governance

From King Richard IV, of course:

Messenger 3: My Lord, news...

King: What?

Messenger 3: Lord Wessex is dead.

King: (raises his arms in triumph; Messenger 3 raises his arms too) Ah-- (lowers his arms) This news is not so good.

Messenger 3: Pardon, My Lord?

King: I like it not. Bring me some other news.

Messenger 3: Pardon, My Lord?

King: I LIKE NOT THIS NEWS! BRING ME SOME OTHER NEWS!!!

Messenger 3: Yes, My Lord!

(Messenger 3 leaves; King tosses things aroung angrily; Messenger 4 enters -- actually just Messenger 3 pretending to be a new messenger delivering new news.)

Messenger 4: My Lord, news...

King: What?

Messenger 4: Lord Wessex is not dead.

King: Ah, good news! (lifts his arms halfway; Messenger 4 does also) Let there be joy and celebration; let jubilation reign!

Messenger 4: Yes, My Lord.

In our version the part of Messenger 3/4 shall be played by Michael Brown/Donald Rumsfeld, and Lord Wessex will be played by either Baghdad or New Orleans, depending on the day. For U.S audiences we've retitled the story Mission Accomplished.
