BUSH ORDERS CAPE & CROWN
Prez calls for amendment to allow royal titles

By T.D. JENKINS

With his controversial $500 million inaugural ball behind him, President George W. Bush has dropped another financial bombshell -- he's shelling out $82.5 million for a jewel-studded crown and sabletrimmed cape to wear during his second term in office.

And when new Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pointed out that the Constitution bans blueblood titles, he snapped, "Heck, let's change it. Get me an amendment so I can be called 'Your Highness.' "

Insiders add that the Commander in Chief bristles at the suggestion that the traditional trappings of European monarchs send the wrong message to the American people, 40 million of whom live in grinding poverty.

"I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I earned political capital in my landslide election victory last November and I'm going to spend it any way I like."

Ahh, the journalistic excellence of Weekly World News.

1. Sure, it's satire NOW, but in a few years?

[Zenlitened]

2. The last bastion of investigative journalism.

When the rest of the media had given up on the Bat Boy story, WWN kept on digging!

3. It's getting harder and harder to outpace reality

Satire may not be dead, but it surely hasn't been feeling very well lately.

4. The cape would cover up that brain substitute he wears on his

back.
