Bush to host approval-relief telethon from NO

[Elidor]

The Bush administration announced today that Dubya will remain in New Orleans and host a live telethon indefinitely to boost his sagging poll numbers, “Until I get back to at least the mid-40s. If the good people of New Orleans want to get rid of me, they’d better register as republicans,” he quipped. “This is a special, uh…event we’re doing, gonna have some live entertainment, gonna have some pretty girls and maybe some horses.”

“But not together,” said spokesman Scott McClellan.

“No, not together. Nothing like that,” agreed Bush. “This is our Katrina Relief Show, and I’m not leaving until I get some relief. We’re…uh…this is all coming together, still. We don’t even know what we’ll have yet. Uh…the Blue Angels will be there. Lee Greenwood will be there. Clint Black and that other guy. Who was that big dummy?”

“Toby Keith, sir.”

“Riiiiiight. So, Keith is gonna be there, he’s a nice fella. We’re gonna have Peggy Noonan leading Freedom cheers from the bleachers. So y’all be sure to tune in for the big show. It’s gonna be a great…uh...a great...”


“Show, sir.”


Yeah, a great show.

How do you like it now, gentlemen?
