So, Bush is the Idiot from Faulkner's "The Sound and the Fury."

Larry Wells said Apple's piece won the contest not because of its political content but because it mirrors the labyrinthine language of the Nobel laureate.
"It was very funny, a brilliant use of 'The Sound and the Fury,'" Wells said. "The fact that he substituted Saddam's gun for a horseshoe Benjy liked to hold -- it was hilarious."
