The Crisis Interview

(statement:)

(Reporter shouts:)

I communicated with my bunker people on the road, and I reassured them in every phone call that their president was projecting calm. Eventually they got so reassured they stopped calling. But before they could hang up they said there was a lot of activity going on down there in the bunker, a lot of commotion, as photographers jostled to get the still shots that would serve history. And my heart went out to them. As it did to all Americans. And I called East Texas to commiserate, and to ask East Texas to pass on my commiserations to the rest of the country. And I believe they did that. Then, as so often is the case with terrible events, we got a piece of bad news from a foreign country.

After no thought at all, I made a decision. I decided to hit every airplane around the world still in the skies. Only by killing everything can you prevent everything. I have made my position very clear on that. I declared all airborne aircraft as hostile to the United States, so you either put down your aircraft or we put it down for you. It was at that moment, as I declared the entire world a no-fly zone, that I knew we were entering the Crisis. And a great wave of (PSFTRP) procedure came across everyone aboard that plane. It reminded me of an exchange I had with a journalist out of Omaha.

President Marsh: Are you getting questions fed to you through that ear piece?

Matt Jenneson of the Omaha Times: No questions. But it helps.

Matt: I just need it for-

Marsh: I guess the viewers and I will just have to do without one.

Matt: Some of our viewers need one.

(television statement from the oval office)

It was important that I find the happy medium between providing comfort to the people of America and to the terrorists.

That speech was as close to a third world war as we could get without fulfilling prophecy.

And my heart went out to the networks. All I could do at that moment was hope they follow it up with some tasteful advertising.
