From the Desk of Billionaires for Bush *A Memo*
By Sir Harris Tocracy

To: Ruth Liss, Horace P. Greedy, C. Bill Press, Chicago Chapter, Billionaires for Bush
From: Sir Harris Tocracy, President, Chicago Chapter Billionaires For Bush
Subject: Celebration and agenda for the next four years
**CLASSIFICATION: TOP SECRET/BILLIONAIRES’ EYES ONLY**

This was a close one. What great foresight to launch that electronic, touch screen voting venture. And to think that Walden O’Dell chap, the CEO of Diebold, isn’t even one of us. A mere millionaire. Not for long. Wally has learned what we Billionaires know: an investment in the right government officials pays enormous dividends.
CORONATION CELEBRATION:

Reserve your tickets now for George W. Bush’s Coronation Ball (public term: “Inaugural Ball”). Get ready to shake down your employees to raise the funds to provide the sort of lavish no-holds barred blowout this occasion deserves.

1. Please note that "Billionaires for Bush" is a satirical group.
And they're great!

Funny stuff.

I thought it was hilarious that's why I shared it. Actually the Magazine "In These Times" is very good. That's where this is taken from as per the link and note.

3. Fox News did
During the DNC here in Boston, Fox News reported that "surprisingly a pro-Bush group called Billionaires for Bush turned out to protest Kerry." (or something to that effect) Fox is filled with idiots :D
