Americans can't tell an ethnic Georgian from an ethnic Ossetian by the last name, so when the unsuspecting Fox News invited a Georgian-born American into the studio, they expected to hear more of the usual duckspeak. Instead, they found themselves in a position of having to tell their guest to please shut up.

Some jokes:
The Olympic Committee included Saakashvili into the Georgian Olympic team for his outstanding running skills.
Russia asked CNN reporters to leave the country because it grew tired of their constant lies and distortions of facts. A CNN representative said it won't affect their coverage because CNN reporters make up their stories without ever leaving their American offices.
Americans are so upset about Georgia because it reminds them of one of their own states. To level the playing field, one has to rename South Ossetia into South Carolina and Abkhasia into Arkansas.
When asked where he got this nonsense about Georgia, Bush said he got his info from CNN, CNN said it got the info from AFR, AFR said it had interviewed the Gorgians, and the Georgians said, why, of course it's true if the American president said so.
After McCain delivered his "We are now all Georgians" speach, Saakashvili declared himself the democratically elected president of the United States.
When the West accused Russia of disproportionate use of force, Russia accused the West of disproportionate use of CNN.
