George W. Bush Given Sainthood!
08/06/2007



George W. Bush Declared A Saint




President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the Episcopal
Church in NW Washington as part of his campaign to restore his 28%
approval rating in the polls.


Karl Rove made a visit to the Bishop and said, "We've been
getting a lot of bad publicity because of the President's position on stem
cell research, the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, and the VA Hospitals. But,
we'll make a $500,000 contribution to your church if during your sermon you
will say that the President is a saint.


The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and finally said,
The Church could really use the money - I'll do it."


The following Sunday, President Bush showed up for the sermon,
and the Bishop began:
"I'd like to speak to all of you this morning about our
President, George Bush. He is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence
weasel. He took the tragedy of September 11 and used it to frighten and
manipulate the American people. He lied about weapons of mass destruction
and invaded Iraq for oil and money, causing the deaths of tens of thousands
and making the United States the most hated nation on earth.

"He appointed cronies to positions of power and influence,
leading to widespread death and destruction during Hurricane Katrina. He
awarded contracts and tax cuts to his rich friends so that we now have more
poverty in this country and a greater gap between rich and poor than we've
had since the Depression.


"He has headed the most corrupt, bribe-inducing political
party since Teapot Dome Scandal.


"The national surplus has turned into a staggering national
debt of 7.6 trillion Dollars, gas prices are up 85%, which the people of
America cannot afford, and vital research into global warming and stem
cells is stopped cold because he's afraid to lose votes from the religious
right.


"He is the worst example of a true Christian I've ever known.


But compared to Dick Cheney, George W. Bush is a saint."

2. I'm sorry, but you can rant all you want... It's not accomplishing anything!
We know that something needs to happen, but the question becomes what and by whom?

10. An oldie but a goodie. :)
Actually, I think it's a remake, not an oldie...
they had to update it because a few years ago, gas prices hadn't quite hit 85%, and his approval was still somewhere around 30-35%, the debt was slightly smaller, and Hurricane Katrina hadn't hit yet... :)
