Transcript:
Cowboy Hat / Bush Jr.: Well, this one looks guilty...So what's the point of reviewing his case? I just don't get it! Aide: Sir, about the next execution... Cowboy Hat / Bush Jr.: Bor-ing! Anything else? Aide: Um...Governor, I'm afraid the death penalty is emerging as a major issue...Everyone now knows you mocked that woman we executed, and it's not playing as compassionate conservatism. Cowboy Hat / Bush Jr.: Look! Our death row inmates had full access to Texas-style justice! Most of 'em are guilty as hell! This isn't Illinois! Besides, when you get right down to it, who cares about these losers? Nobody! Mark: Welcome back to "Dead Man Talking"! Is the caller still there? Voice on phone: Not for much longer.
