Bush Stars As ‘Idiot’ In Faulkner Parody

“A scathing parody that likens President Bush to the ‘idiot’ in William Faulkner’s novel ‘The Sound and the Fury’ has won this year’s Faulkner write-alike contest — and touched off a literary spat. Organizers of the Faux Faulkner competition are accusing Hemispheres, the United Airlines magazine that has sponsored the contest for six years, of playing politics by not putting Sam Apple’s ‘The Administration and the Fury’ in its print edition — only on its Web site.” Hemispheres’ editor says politics had nothing to do with the decision.
