"Look, I've got important guests here...don't bother me with dead people."

President George W. Bush, while on yet another month long vacation to his ranch in Crawford, Texas has refused to meet with mother of an Army Specialist slain in Sadr City, Iraq on April 4, 2004, or somewhere around three hundred thirty nine days after the Mission was Accomplished. Citing the fact that the President was taking some “me time” White House spokesman Trent Duffy said that it would be inappropriate for Cindy Sheehan, the mother of slain soldier Casey Sheehan, to bother Mr. Bush with any niggling little details such as her sons death in the War in Iraq.

White House Spokesman Trent Duffy said, “Many of the hundreds of families the President has met with know their loved one died for a Noble Cause and that the best way to honor their sacrifice is to complete the mission. If Mrs. Sheehan wants to know how the President feels about the loss of her son, she can Google up one of his previous speeches and cut and paste her son’s name in where appropriate.”

When asked what exactly the Noble Cause was, Mr. Duffy assured the gathered listeners that he would get back to them on that one, citing the fact the Noble Cause has changed so many times in the last three or four years that it was difficult to keep track of.

Unnamed White House Source Wegman (Pudgy) Waterhouse, speaking on the condition of anonymity said, “What you Liberal cow pies don’t understand is that actually we’re doing the country a real favor by giving them a whole bunch of Noble Causes to choose from. If you like Weapons of Mass Destruction, take that one, although I gotta admit WMD’s aren’t as popular as they once were. Or you can pick the War on Terrorism, the Downfall of a Tyrant, bringing Democracy to the Middle East, Schools for Shiite’s, Kittens for Kurds, Supper for Sunni’s, Makeover’s for Muslims, Safety for Saudi’s, Help for Halliburton, Fajita’s for Fallujah, Balloons for Basra or any of the hundreds of Noble Causes we’ve hit upon in the ever changing kaleidoscope that is the Administrations reason for whacking Iraq.”

1. That's rich.

If there weren't a touch of truth to it...

Kicked and recommended.

3. Actually, most of it IS true

It's hard to satirize something that is so incredible in the first place. Only half or less of this article is not the truth, from what I can tell.

For example, the "noble cause" crap. People shouldn't read this and think that Bush didn't really put this forth.

Go, Cindy.

4. I think it is mostly true.

You know, Abraham Lincoln had a little war to contend with while he was in office, I believe. And he never took a vacation. He was criticized for not allowing his oldest son to enlist-and said son wanted to go, and eventually got his way. Lincoln even faced enemy fire at one point, during Early's raid on Washington. But then he had volunteered during the Black Hawk War, being honest about the fact he never was in a battle.

8. Abe Lincoln walks at midnight ...

unable to rest in peace knowing what a cowardly chicken-hawk is squatting in the White House.

2. How sad that these days, that one must resort to comedy in

order that the truth will find an ear.

9. he can go to a boy scout memorial but not

one for all the marines killed last week... must be because he's on vacation.

11. The kinda guy his voters said they could have a beer with.

I asked my friend Tom Bumbouncer, owner of the Elk Snout Tavern, about what kinda guy he'd like to have a beer with based on his vast experience of wiping down the bar.

"Any guy who'd leave a grieving woman out in the hot son more'n ten minutes would land on his ass outside my establishment in the 11th minute.

And I'd have to hurry and toss im before my patrons did."

13. He's busy with delegates from Columbia this weekend.....

I kid not.....really, I'm not encouraging you to think what you will in regard to this country's main export. That would be below me.

15. Let's just hope he reads the memos this time

Ok, so Bush is taking a 5 week vacation in August. Sound familiar? That's just what he did in 2001.

Let's hope that if he gets any PDB's about imminent attacks on the US that he let's somebody know about it this time instead of just reading (oops, having them read to him) and then ignoring them and going back to chopping wood, milking steers, and getting liquored up and doing donuts in his pickup truck.
