2. Given that the banana slug could be quickly declared incompetent...
leading to a Cheney presidency, I'll take Dubya.

Unless, of course, we could have a different VP as well -- say, a ham sandwich or something. :evilgrin:

16. the only problem with Bush and the banana slug switching places ...
... is that some dark night, I might walk into my kitchen -- step on George W., who's crawling over the tiles -- and gross myself out. (I live in a basement suite in the Northwest, and slugs frequently ooze in under the door.)

I assume that Georgie wouldn't go "squish" (though I haven't seen much evidence of a backbone on him!) -- but it would be a pretty unpleasant sight. Plus, he would probably get into my bottle of homemade lemon liqueur, and I'd have to lock him in the bathroom until he sobered up.

17. Maybe there's a logical explanation to smirk's boo boos after all...
the Banana Slug's after his job.

28. On the one hand...
...the banana slug would have a keener appreciation of the need for sufficient body armor, which Bushie just can't seem to grasp.

But on the other hand, if a pretzel can nearly kill W, the imagine what a salty one would do to the Slug-in-Chief :-)

31. Put it to you this way
If I got a picture of Cheney and a picture of a banana slug, and put them side by side, do you think you could tell the difference?

37. People for the Ethical Treatment of Banana Slugs resent the comparison
of the noble slug to Junior, the paper doll.

41. Banana slug
because we all know that they can read better than W. And besides when President Banana Slug falls off a bike, we don't have to see all of those awful facial abrasions. Just awful.
