Bush to sell Hawaii to the Japanese......

[GarKeeper]

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In one of the most shocking moves of his presidency, George W. Bush is on the verge of selling Hawaii to Japan, a leading Washington insider has informed Weekly World News.

"Basically, the President sees this as a quick and easy way to generate a huge bundle of cash," stated the source, an upper-echelon State Department official with close ties to Bush's inner circle."

Gotta love that insane BATBOY newspaper...they so FUNNY! BTW, your link is f'd up, here is a good one: http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/features/politics/61686

ON EDIT--this is the money paragraph!!!!!!!

Initially, Bush considered putting up Massachusetts for sale, along with several other "blue" states. But after Vice President Dick Cheney pointed out such an action might trigger a massive popular revolt on the U.S. mainland, he and Bush decided to hang a "For Sale" sign on remote, isolated Hawaii. "It's so far away, that it doesn't even seem like part of America anyway," the President is alleged to have said at a cabinet meeting, adding, "Besides, I talked to Daddy about it and he says there's no oil there, just pineapples and coconuts."

Too funny, really belongs in the ONION. Wonder if the Chinese will pick this one up as a serious item, and put in a bid????
