A little humor: Bushes to rule US until 2090
Edited on Mon Jun-06-05 04:45 PM by spooky3
from www.borowitzreport.com

In an appearance on CNN’S “Larry King Live,” former President George H. W. Bush unveiled ambitious plans to extend the Bush dynasty in the White House, indicating that if all goes as planned the Bushes will rule the U.S. until 2090.

When asked if he hoped that his son, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, would run for president in 2008, the former president replied, “Yes, Larry, I think it’s the smart one’s turn.”

With the presidency of Jenna Bush wrapping up in the year 2040, he said, it would be time for “as-yet unimagined Bushes” to ascend to the nation’s highest office.

Presidential historian Davis Logden of the University of Minnesota said he sees advantages in such an unprecedented White House dynasty: “It could provide useful continuity to have a Bush in the White House in 2090, because we will most likely still be in Iraq.”

LOL!

1. Sweet jumping Jesus in a shitstream!
You call that humor?! Man, I'll need a couple glasses of Scotch and some pills and pot just to forget I ever read such a nightmarish screed. Why you trying to scare us like that, ace? What are you, sadistic?

;)

2. "We are NOT amused"

I know. A little humor would help my attitude.

If I thought I we were going to have to put up with a Bush dynasty, I'd move. And almost anywhere.

10. Maybe you'll like this Michael Jackson & Viagra one better...
http://www.borowitzreport.com/archive_rpt.asp?rec=1145&srch=

On the eve of closing arguments in the Michael Jackson child-molestation trial, a coalition of the major all-news networks has asked the judge in the case for a new trial, claiming that the current legal proceedings were “not long enough.”

snip

He added that, in addition to being “too quick and cursory,” the current Jackson trial was marred by the insufficient number and quality of celebrity witnesses.

“Instead of Jay Leno, George Lopez and Macaulay Culkin, in a new trial we would like to see Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Johnny Depp,” he said.

snip

Elsewhere, a Florida man today sued the makers of Viagra for causing him to go blind, claiming that he has been having sex with the wrong person for the past two years.

8. Good satire by Andy Borowitz
This is good satire in that it is too close to the truth to be dismissed. Borowitz does a great job.
