(scoop) Bush to announce lining southern border with gators


In an unexpected and unprecedented policy move President Bush will announce his plans to amass alligators now being harvested in the Florida urban sprawl and deploy them along the 7,000 mile US/Mexican border.

Bush will announce his plans to retrain National Guard troops to be gator handlers and deploy them with the gators along the Rio Grande river as well as throughout the deserts of Arizona and the NEW Mexico. Due to low personnel numbers some Guardsmen may be individually responsible for up to 15 gators. White House sources confirmed this information but were not sure how much training the Guard components would received before being sent into the desert with a truckload of "border protectors". The logistics of this operation are reportedly still being working out.

1. You know, that sounds plausible
It would be just like Bush to send alligators to the barren desert. Alligators with umbrellas.

7. But it's such a great idea--ought to be in the Onion or something.

Actually, you ought to suggest this to the White House. It sounds like something they'd come up with.

13. Before the story broke that Bush was going to line the border with
National Guard.. wasn't the story that Bush was calling the Mexicans to tell them where the minutemen would be?
