From the Specious News:

Tape Shows Ari Fleischer Called Jean Chretien a Bitch


OTTAWA, Canada -- A tape recording obtained from an Ottawa newspaper
reporter gives startling evidence that more than a few people were
exchanging insults at last week's historic NATO summit in Prague.

Although it is still unclear who started the name-calling, a recorder was
activated just
as Prime Minister Jean Chretien's communications director Francoise Ducros
muttered
the words "What a moron", apparently in reference to U.S. President George W.
Bush.

Over laughter and light applause, Bush's press
secretary Ari Fleischer is clearly heard to reply, "Oh
yeah? Well Chretien is a bitch". Snip...

However, Prime Minister Chretien
has declined Ducros' offer of resignation, amid general consensus that her only
offense was stating the obvious.

In an effort to smooth international relations, Chretien later said of Bush "He
isn't a
moron, he's my friend".

Likewise, President Bush made it clear no action would be taken against
Fleischer,
saying of Chretien "He may be a bitch, but he's MY bitch".
