George W. Bush Is A Saint!!!!

President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the Episcopal Church outside Washington as part of his campaign to restore his poll standings.

Bush's campaign manager made a visit to the Bishop, and said to him,

"We've been getting a lot of bad publicity because of the president's position on stem cell research, the Iraq war, Katrina, and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say the President is a saint."

The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and finally said,

"The Church is in desperate need of funds and I will agree to do it."

Bush showed up for the sermon and the Bishop began:

"I'd like to speak to you all this morning about our President. George Bush is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence weasel. He took the tragedy of September 11 and used it to
frighten and manipulate the American people.

"He lied about weapons of mass destruction and invaded Iraq for oil and money, causing the deaths of tens of thousands and making the United States the most hated country on earth.

"He appointed cronies to positions of power and influence, leading to widespread death and destruction during Hurricane Katrina. He awarded contracts and tax cuts to his rich friends so that we now have more poverty in this country, and a greater gap between rich and poor, than we've had since the Depression.

"He instituted illegal wiretaps when getting a warrant from a secret court would have been a mere administrative detail, had his henchmen lie to Congress about it, then claimed he is above the law.

"He has headed the most corrupt, bribe-inducing political party since Teapot Dome.

"The national surplus has turned into a staggering national debt of 7.6 Trillion, gas prices are up 85%, and vital research into global warming and stem cells is stopped cold because he's afraid to lose votes from some religious kooks.

"He is the worst example of a true Christian I've ever known. But compared to Dick Cheney and Karl Rove, George Bush is a saint!"

2. George Bush should be canonized...

just like Ned Flanders.

[Warpy]

3. Thought you were going to say canonized

with a real cannon.

[Xipe Totec]

8. I prefer subtlety

I gather you didn't watch the Simpson's Magical History Tour where Flanders, playing Sir Thomas More, does get canonized from a canon.

or burned at the stake.

11. ?

That's, umm...atypical of the Episcopal Church, to say the least. Do you have a link?

[Akim]

12. Not At All "Atypical." The Episcopal Church is a Very Progressive Church

and was involved in the civil rights movement.

The story was in The New York Times a few months ago. I'll look for a link for you on google.

13. Here's the link for St. Martin Luther King, Jr., and proposed saint

Thurgood Marshall.

You will find many unexpected names.

Was not aware that we trucked in "Saints" that way.
