Former President Manages Gas Station

[leveymg]

TULSA, January 27, 2008. AP - One year after he resigned his office in disgrace over the Valerie Plame spy scandal, former President George W. Bush starts work at a local Chevron station. When asked about his new job as Assistant Retail Outlet Manager, Mr. Bush said, "I know there've been questions about whether this job is real suitable for me, and all. But, I'm pretty well qualified for this. I've worked for the oil industry almost my entire career."

Concerns have been raised about the ability of the Secret Service to provide adequate protection to the former President, who is widely disliked by most Americans. Critics have questioned whether Bush's proximity to the public might be a problem for his security detail. Mr. Bush dismissed such concerns, saying,

"I'm inside that little booth most of the day, and it's got real thick glass and a lock on the door. I feel like a fish in there, and it does get kinda hot. When I have to go to the little boy's room, the guys walk me over there. They blend in real good, wearing jeans and tee-shirts. They stand guard until I'm done and escort me back again."

"After a few days, after you reporters are gone, nobody'll even notice that I'm here."

4. February 27, 2008 Man Catches Fire At Gas Station

George Bush, 62, accidentally set himself on fire Saturday at a Chevron gas station in Tulsa. Then, two off-duty police officers who just happened to be there, rushed over to rescue Bush. The gas station surveillance video shows them pushing Bush to the ground and smothering out the flames.

Police say the gas station owner had gassed up a generator in the back of his truck, spilled some of the fuel on his clothes and then went back inside his truck and lit a cigarette, sparking an instant inferno. Bush is now in serious condition at the burn unit of St. John's Hospital.

9. not gonna happen.

People who work at service stations work hard. Bush could never hold a job at one. He'd constantly slack off and show up drunk to work. They'd never have that.
If he wasn't born into such power and privlege, he'd be a drunkard, mooching off of relatives, constantly getting kicked out.
Bush...work? Oh please.

16. It's unrealistic to think Chevron management would approve hiring him

I mean, the oil moguls may be evil, but they're not stupid.

[Octafish]

18. Excellent point. The guy's unfit to serve as a stable boy.

That position requires more responsibility than Bush'll ever hold.

CRAZY MONKEY
