The word "strategery" (/strəˈtiːdʒəri/ strə-TEE-jər-ee) was used in a Saturday Night Live sketch, written by James Downey, airing October 7, 2000, which satirized the performances of George W. Bush and Al Gore, two candidates for President of the United States, during the first presidential debate for election year 2000.
[2] Affectionately embracing satirical portrayals has been a Bush tactic at other times as well, such as when he presented a self-parodying slide show at the May 2004 Radio and Television Correspondents Dinner about looking for weapons of mass destruction in the Oval Office[3] after the political comic strip Doonesbury satirically portrayed him on a similar comical search.
Speaking of Charles Krauthammer and his political contacts, Palin commented "they're meeting people and they're doing their strategery".
[6] The term is also a centerpiece of the fictitious firm Strategery Capital Management, LLC, a satirical website,[7] which mocks the Treasury's $700 billion "Troubled Asset Rescue Plan" (which itself is a spoof of the real-world Troubled Asset Relief Program, which Bush signed into law in 2008).
[9] The official podcast of the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas is called, "The Strategerist."
