Bush plays Chess
“He reminds me of one of those guys at the gym who plays about 40 chess boards at once.” — Tony Snow describing his boss, George W Bush.
I am reminded of an episode of the Simpsons, the one where school is cancelled due to a teacher’s strike. Bart goes from chess table to table, moving a chess piece, a wry reference to a scene from “Searching for Bobby Fisher”. A man yells out “Hey! This kid’s playing fthree games of chess at once!” This is followed by each of the competitors moving a piece, with “Check Mate!” “Check Mate!” “Check Mate!” Bart says “Damned”.
