See... it's like this...

I wouldn't Welsh on ya, Johnny! Honest! Ya gotta believe me!

It's just that the chapter...

Well...

Well, the chapter... see...

It said bad things about George W. Bush, see, and the publisher
refused to publish it
[this actually happened to Michael Moore, BTW -- the publishers
reneged on their agreement to publish "Stupid White Men" because they
felt that it was insufficiently complementary to Dubya, until it was
re-edited -- I kid you not!]
unless I changed the name in each instance to Gore... then I was
supposed to write in a lot of stuff about how Gore was gonna sneak
down our chimneys during the night and make off with all our guns...

Naturally this is taking longer 'cause I can't say it or write it
with a straight face...

Now I have to write all this new stuff about marzipan... The Paste.
The hard stuff... The stuff of all the crime and most of the
fantasies in this man's town...

...The dog ate it.
