"President" George W. Bush endorses NHIV:

NHIV are the best! Without these guys, and without my buddies Murdoch and Fairfax, I could never have gained support for my ill-conceived extremist policies. But ahh, they were so right when they assured me that voters could be scared into supporting just about any act of xenophobic aggression. In fact, in a few weeks I'm planning to whip up another scare campaign so I can nuke Iceland. I think I'll say something like: "We cannot afford to remain passive, while terrorist aggressors hoard weapons of mass destruction, etc. etc.", that line always works a treat…

Normally, I only listen to Country and Western, and sometimes I have to sit through the national anthem (yawn!), but NHIV's music has a real message to it, one that makes them at least as important, historically, as Billy Ray Cyrus. For me, NHIV's The World's Worst Leaders single is like the Achy Breaky Heart of the 21st century.

NHIV helped me understand that propaganda is a weapon of war. It doesn't blow up innocent children in the same direct and effective way that bombs do, but it is a powerful weapon nonetheless, and one that could allow you to blow up several schoolyards of children with complete impunity. It was NHIV who encouraged me to point this weapon at my own country, and let rip! Once the facts on Iraq had been lost inside a mess of conflicting stories, (and once my generals had popped a cap into any journalists who weren't toeing the line…) there was only one thing left for the American people to say - trust the president (that's ME, folks!). Hell, half the country thinks that Saddam Hussein was involved in 9/11 - and guess what, I'm not about to go on TV and set the record straight, heheh…

The gun and the bible carved the American nation out of the wilderness. I sure do love guns and bibles - I even have a hollowed-out bible with a gun inside, which I like to take to church, and on the side of my gun it says, "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth", which is my favourite Clint Eastwood quote. But one of my advisors told me I have to stop shooting people at random, so I sent him to Guantanamo Bay, bloody terrorist…and besides, it's not random, I only use the real bullets on arabs, hippies and French people.

Since I was "elected" president, I have enjoyed wonderful new opportunities to emulate my heroes of history, such as Reagan, Hitler, and Emperor Caligula, and Mr. Rumsfeld even said I could make my pet horse a member of congress if I want to! And for that I thank NHIV, whose musical inspiration has helped me turn reality on its head. Americans are now applauding war crimes, believing even the most obvious lies, and American contempt for foreigners has reached unprecedented heights. It's all about winning hearts and minds.

As NHIV pointed out to me, terrorism is also really cool because it means I can respond with "counter-terrorism", which is apparently just like regular terrorism but legal(!) So like NHIV, I always fight terror with terror, and that way I'll never run out of terror to fight, or the fear needed to fuel my Emperorship. Besides, I'm the President of the fucking World, and I can do whatever the fuck I like, so UP YOUR ASS!!

You see, I don't know a whole lot about world politics and stuff, but I do know two things:
1. guns can fix everything!
2. er… better make that just one thing…..

Humbly, your eternal overlord,

DUBYA
