'I thought they were all Republicans?'
WASHINGTON (XF) - Recent media reports have surfaced claiming that President Bush was unaware that there were two major sects of Islam in Iraq until shortly before the 2003 invasion. In a related story, The Xsociate Files has uncovered a similar incident that occurred just prior to the 2004 presidential election.
According to an anonymous source, during a White House campaign strategy meeting some two months before the election, political guru Karl Rove had to explain to the President that there were in fact two major political parties in America.
"He apparently thought that all Americans were Republicans," the source said. Some political analysts suggest the reason for this misunderstanding of the political landscape is due to the President's sheltered lifestyle.
"This is the 'Bush Bubble' in action," one prominent pundit is quoted as saying, "Given that all of his audiences are pre-screened, it's no wonder he would think everyone's a Republican."
"And even when he meets someone from the opposition party, it's still hard to tell the difference." the pundit continued, apparently making a reference to Conneticut Democrat Joe Lieberman.
