Bush Resignation Hailed by World Leaders

The surprise resignation of the forty-third President of the United States, George W. Bush, on the second anniversary of the terrorist attack on America, was hailed by chiefs of state throughout the world. Mr. Bush announced that after, "two years of bloodshed, economic devastation, and spreading fear in America and abroad," he saw no choice but to accept that, "I have held a title which I did not win, and for which I have proven unqualified."

The text of the former President's September 11 address to the nation follows:

I come to you tonight with a heavy heart. Two years ago today, thousands of innocent Americans were murdered by terrorist maniacs.

In the script I've been handed, I'm now supposed to tell you that America is safer today, and that the world is kinder and nicer and happier, because of I'm such a brilliant general in the War on Terror.

But who are we kidding? Yesterday, Osama released his new hit video. The terrorists are having a picnic ever since I turned over our foreign policy to Saudi Arabia and Exxon-Mobil.

1. How nice it would be... except for the supreme court part.

I like Palast's work, very entertaining.

3. When I read this piece I was thinking what a wonderful dream

...too bad it is only fiction. I also thought that if * had the character and ability to EVER be able to say something like this himself...well, I doubt things would've played out as they have so far.

5. were Bush one one hundredth the man Gore is

he would have conceded the election to Gore when it was apparent that he lost Florida by several thousand votes. But alas, this is an evil world we live in.

2. I bet that's what Bush* was thinking,

right before he gave the real speech. I'm quite sure a little "yeah, I'm doing good" pep talk wouldn't cut it this time.

This piece by Palast is super. Thanks for the link !

On edit : no wonder you dug up this Jewel :-)
