Comedian Comments (my favorite is Bill Maher's on the bill of rights)
At the White House press conference: "President Bush, do you have any
proof that Iraq possesses the weapons of mass destruction?" "Yes, we
saved the sales receipts." (The Country Gentleman)

I heard this today and I thought this was fascinating and interesting.
President Bush has two daughters, two beautiful daughters, and they may
work on their father's presidential campaign after they get out of
college and I thought, well, that's a pretty good move because in this
economy, they won't be able to find real jobs. (David Letterman)

The White House predicted 150,000 new jobs for the month that just
passed. The statistics came back: 21,000. But, you know, the White
House, always up for solutions through labeling. From now on, Americans
who've lost their jobs will no longer be known as 'unemployed,' they
are enjoying 'Operation Week-Day Freedom.' (Bill Maher)

Attorney General John Ashcroft is in intensive care. He's suffering
from a severe case of pancreatitis, which they can't really figure out
because he's not really a drinker. They think he might have picked up
some type of infection while wiping his ass with the Bill of Rights.
(Bill Maher)

Attorney General John Ashcroft has been hospitalized. I believe he is
suffering from homophobia. No, actually, it was just gallstones, but
when they gave him the hospital gown that opens in the back, he refused
to wear it, he thought it was a gay wedding dress. (Jay Leno)

Attorney General John Ashcroft was admitted Thursday to the intensive
care unit of a Washington hospital for gallstone pancreatitis. While he
was there, doctors may also try to remove the stick from his butt.
(Tina Fey)

From Bill Maher:

March 09, 2004
Convenient Democracy



Both Iraq and Afghanistan are taking baby steps toward democracy, which has to be a good thing, although sometimes you wonder if they’re really serious about it or they’re just going through the motions in hopes that we’ll leave.

For example, take what Afghan president Hamid Karzai said during an event to mark International Women’s Day: "Please, my dear brothers, let your wives and sisters go to the voter registration process. Later, you can control who she votes for, but please, let her go."

Translation: Just play along with the Westerners, eventually they’ll get bored with this silly women’s rights crapola and they’ll go find some other country to invade.
