He Didn’t Mean it Literally?

These guys just never stop with the fun.

One day after President Bush vowed to reduce America’s dependence on Middle East oil by cutting imports from there 75 percent by 2025, his energy secretary and national economic adviser said Wednesday that the president didn’t mean it literally.

What the president meant, they said in a conference call with reporters, was that alternative fuels could displace an amount of oil imports equivalent to most of what America is expected to import from the Middle East in 2025.

But America still would import oil from the Middle East, because that’s where the greatest oil supplies are.

I wonder what other parts he didn’t mean literally. Hopefully, that part about human-animal experiments. I’ve always wanted to see a centaur.
