Bush to Speak at 4 Graduation Ceremonies
President Bush will deliver commencement addresses at four colleges this year, including a community college hit by Hurricane Katrina.

The White House announced Thursday that Bush will speak May 6 at Oklahoma State University, May 11 at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, May 27 at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point, N.Y., and June 19 at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, which was attended by Bush's outgoing White House chief of staff, Andrew Card.

Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College suffered tens of millions of dollars in damage and lost a quarter of its student enrollment after Katrina.

4. Hey, I was there too!
I don't remember seeing you there! ;) And yes, they are NOT happy with giggling murder monkey but a lot of their anger is directed at Nagin and Landrieu as well. Politicians in general are about as welcome as hurricane season down there right now.

5. In further news, White House introduces Presidentmobile
Washington, DC (Spurious News Network) -- Just in time for pResident Bush*'s spring college graduation speechifying trips, the White House today introduced the Presidentmobile to a group of Faux News Network and WorldNutDaily reporters.

"We got the idea from Pope John Paul II," said White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. "He was one of the most beloved people of his time, and someone shot him. While pResident Bush is even more adored by his countrymen, he's decided to speak at a college that was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina and by the disastrous economic policies of the last administration. To keep someone from mistakenly or accidentally doing harm to our Dear Leader, we've purchased him a vehicle that will provide him with a small amount of protection."

When a traitorous liberal journalist threatened to post to the Internet his album of photos of Scotty screwing farm animals, McClellan came clean: "Actually, the people down there are fucking pissed about Dubya's actions during Katrina, and his national approval rating is rapidly approaching zero. The Secret Service found out that you can buy howitzers at gun shows in Mississippi, so we figured that for the good of the nation we'd better get him a vehicle that can withstand a sustained artillery barrage."

7. Is our children learning?
He was the education president before he became a war president.

What a resume.
