WTF - is this a joke?

Gov. Bush & his mystical buddy
After more than an hour of solemn ceremony naming Rep. Marco Rubio, R-West Miami, as the 2007-08 House speaker, Gov. Jeb Bush stepped to the podium in the House chamber last week and told a short story about "unleashing Chang," his "mystical warrior" friend.

Here are Bush's words, spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians:"Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.

"I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down."

Bush then unsheathed a golden sword and gave it to Rubio as a gift.

"I'm going to bestow to you the sword of a great conservative warrior," he said, as the crowd roared...

1. Nope, its for real.

10. Seriously?

I thought the Bush's were conservative evangelical Christians? I'm a Christian who believes in ghosts, guides, angels, etc. but then again I don't proclaim to be a conservative anti this and anti that Christian.

16. That was my thought when I read it too.

I didn't think it would go over real well with his Evangelical mob.

[ET Awful]

2. It's not a joke. Randi has been making fun of him for days over it.

I almost got in a wreck I was laughing so hard the first time I heard her talk about it. :)

3. I think he actually meant to say, "Ching,"....

...as in "chingado!"

As in, Tom Delay esta chingado!

[titoresque]

4. holy shit!

This is too much! I've posted stuff here far less deranged and it was
debunked as I suffered a severe verbal beating......this is real?!

The Crime Family is coming waaaaaaay out of the closet!

5. If there was any doubt these people were batshit insane, this settles it

Unfreakingreal! :rofl:

I'm sorry I missed Randi's comments on this.

12. Don't forget Bush's comment about God

Remember someone told how Bush proclaimed God told him to get Iraq? Do you think it was really someone else? Because I don't think God would tell him to strike Iraq for oil and a neocon agenda.

6. Would, by chance,

Chang's close pals be Cheech and Chong?

[Arkana]

7. Nope, it is 100% genuine.

He and Jeb share Chang.

[XanaDUer]

8. Nucking futz...

:crazy:

I think he means a Taoist who was nothing conservative at all...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

9. Sounds like Jeb has been dipping into Noel's stash.... pity. nt.

[0007]

14. Noelle sez; Daddy ain't smart enough to find my stash!

11. This goes back a few generations

poppy used Chang in a tennis reference decades ago.

These farkers are plain ol' nuts.

[Melynn]

13. I thought that W was the dope head in the Bush family

I never suspected that Jeb was a party dude.

[union_maid]

15. Maybe it's what he calls his little general

His John Thomas, his "little man" or whatever the Bush family call them.
