President Bush was scheduled to worship at a small Methodist Church
outside Washington, D.C. as part of Karl Rove's campaign to reverse
Bush's rapidly deteriorating approval ratings. A week before the visit,
Rove called on the Methodist Bishop who was scheduled to preach on the
chosen Sunday. "As you know, Bishop," began Rove, "we've been getting
a lot of bad publicity among Methodists because of the president's
position on stem cell research and the like. We'd gladly arrange for
Jack Abramoff's friends to make a contribution of $100,000 to the church
if during your sermon you would say that President Bush is a saint."
The Bishop thought about it for a few minutes, and finally said, "This
parish is in rather desperate need of funds ... I'll agree to do it."
The following Sunday, Bush pompously showed up for the photo op, looking
especially smug even while attempting to appear pious.
After making a few announcements, the Bishop began his homily: "George
W. Bush is a petty, vindictive, sanctimonious hypocrite and a nitwit.
He is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence weasel with the world's
largest chip on his shoulder. He used every dirty election trick in the
book and still lost, but his toadies in the Supreme Court appointed him.
He lied about his military record in which he used special privilege to
avoid combat, and then had the gall to dress up and pose on an aircraft
carrier before a banner stating "Mission Accomplished." He invaded a
sovereign country for oil and war profiteering, turning Iraq into a
training ground for terrorists who would destroy our country. He
continues to confuse the American people by insisting on a nonexistent
connection between the horrors of 9/11 and the reason he started his war
in Iraq. He routinely appoints incompetent and unqualified cronies to
high-level federal government positions and as a result, hundreds and
hundreds of Americans died tragically in New Orleans. He lets corporate
polluters despoil God's creation and doom our planet. He uses
fear-mongering to justify warrantless spying on American citizens, in
clear violation of our Constitution. He is so psychotic and
megalomaniacal that he believes that he was chosen by God. He is the
worst example of a Methodist I have ever personally known. But compared
to Dick Cheney and Karl Rove and the rest of the evil fascist bastards
in this administration, George W. Bush is a saint.
