"And the story of the Emperor is Andersen's.

Emperor George has spent the last couple of weeks desperately trying to find something to cover his nakedness. He has lied and lied and lied. He can't shred or classify everything."

Ah, but you are assuming George is the emperor.

And even if you like George as the emperor the story doesn't continue much longer after after the boy says the truth.
We have packs of boys "saying the truth" before Bush entered the office as your emperor.

And no, I not referring to Obama, either. Not that Obama wouldn't in any way fit the story- some could think he is de-robing before he enters office.
