The president is a saint

[BigBearJohn]

President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the Episcopal Church
outside Washington as part of his campaign to restore his poll standings.

Bush's campaign manager made a visit to the Bishop, and said to him,
"We've been getting a lot of bad publicity because of the president's
position on stem cell research, the Iraq war, Katrina and the like.

We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if, during
your sermon, you'd say the President is a saint."

The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and finally said, "The
Church is in desperate need of funds and I will agree to do it."

Bush showed up for the sermon and the Bishop began:

"I'd like to speak to you this morning about our President.

George Bush 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 country 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 Great Depression.

"He instituted illegal wiretaps when getting a warrant from a court
would have been a mere administrative detail; he had his henchmen lie to
Congress about it, then claimed he is above the law.

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

The national surplus has turned into a staggering national debt of
$7.6 trillion, gas prices are up 85% and vital research into global
warming and stem cells is stopped cold because he's afraid to lose votes
from some religious kooks.

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

But compared to Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, George Bush is a saint."
