WELCOMING RED CHINA'S 40-YEAR-LATE ENTRY TO THE SPACE AGE, PRESIDENT BUSH

[pakaya]

Statement by the President
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. Today brings news that the Red Republic of Chineses has, for the first time in its history, successfully sent a human being into Earth orbit and brought him home safely again. This is a tremendous achievement – especially for a race of people who can be blindfolded with a strand of dentil floss. So on behalf of America, Russia, and everyone else in the 21st century, let me say how impressively cute we find this development, and look forward to a future where the yellow man remains on the cutting edge – rolling out such modern technological marvels as the steam engine, hoola hoop, and ham radio vacuum tube. Hell, the way these Chinateezos are going, the 1960's are gonna be a bright decade!

1. the bad thing about that it's so entirely believable

I hate to say it but a lot of the stuff that the onion made up was believable too.

2. Locking... but it's not really your fault.

I initially moved this thread to the General Discussion Forum from the Latest Breaking News Forum, as White House Statements are better suited for the GD Forum.

However, this post now breaks the GD excessive capitalization rule, so it must be locked.

Please feel free to begin a new discussion about the White House statements in this forum, but take it easy on the caps.

My apologies for the confusion, pakaya.
