His thing as Stephen Bury - 'Interface' - was prescient:

"Just how do you get elected President of America these days? You can sink a political career on TV
in a few minutes if you make enough of fool of yourself; on the other hand if you look and sound
good enough you can sway the nation. All you need to know is how well you're going down with the
voters. Take a politician who's had a biochip implanted into his brain, linked to the computers
that analyse the responses of the specially chosen market research volunteers, who represent the
heights and depths of the great American people and you can work out exactly what you need to say
to get your candidate elected. And then you control the President. Which is handy if you're a
worldwide conspiracy wanting to get a firmer grip on the nation to stop the Treasury reneging on
the national debt and undermining all your investments."

"A neurolinguistic programming expert writes that Bush's eye movements are proof that he's
listening. Haven't you noticed the odd pauses and the frequent looks down.... it most definitely
appears that he is listening intently, then when he gets the message he looks up and speaks to the
camera."
