Bush Awards Mel Gibson Presidential Medal of Freedom
http://www.yubanet.com/artman/publish/article_40063.shtml


In a stunning moment of redemption for the embattled actor Mel Gibson, President George W. Bush today awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom, telling the star, "Thanks for taking the heat off me this week."

Mr. Bush, who has been spent the summer floundering amid crises in North Korea, Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, said that Mr. Gibson's DUI arrest and subsequent anti-Semitic tirade had distracted the media and the American people for a solid week, "And for that I am eternally grateful."

Mr. Bush said that the Gibson scandal had given him the "first real vacation I have had all summer."

Mr. Gibson accepted the coveted medal graciously, telling the President, "The only thing I value more than this medal is my deep and abiding love for every Jew in the world."

YES this is a joke.

1. It's sad...
When you actually have to put a disclaimer on stuff like this so we know it's a joke.
