Check Out This Amazing Story To Undo All Of Bush's Support (Jay Russell)
Edited on Tue Oct-17-06 08:22 PM by Tace
Jay Russell -- World News Trust

Oct. 17, 2006 -- I'm on the verge of having a story published that is primarily about the urgent need to replace George W. Bush.

It's set in the context of a teacher discussing with his class how to address the leadership vacuum that will be created by undoing all of his support.

Most of the students are portrayed by celebrities so it has a lot of humor to it despite how infuriating it is. I'm just sending it to as many like-minded people as I can because I'm very anxious about the possible upcoming attack on Iran. Hopefully the following excerpt will intrigue you enough to put it on the top of your to-do list.

... "Teacher, speaking of creating opportunity," asked Whoopi Goldberg, "what do you make of the fact that Republican Senator Richard Lugar told Al Franken: 'The government can't create jobs'?"

"I'd like to make a noose of that fact and hang The Republican Party," Whoopi said. "They ought to just put up a sign at their headquarters that reads: 'WE'RE USELESS AND WE HAVE NO IMAGINATION.' For starters, the government could hire every electrician to install light and motion sensors on the light switches in every building. And besides merely telling Americans that we need to conserve energy, they could also make low-interest long-term loans available so communities can weatherize their homes, schools and businesses. And they can't use the excuse that no one has ever thought of this idea since Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid has already thrown it out there. It's as though their playbook is to do the opposite of the Democrats and common sense, for example: 'Dark Days for Energy Efficiency' and 'Senate Republicans Screw Troops Yet Again .'"

"Not only are they useless," Whoopi noted, "but they're also clueless; as was first proven when Ronald Reagan took office and removed the solar panels Jimmy Carter had put in; then again when Senator Robert Dole ran a commercial denouncing Democrats for pushing midnight basketball; and again when a Republican Congresswoman said on the house floor that, 'The American people know how to spend their money more wisely than the government.' By that logic it would mean that beef is a wiser purchase than tofu, cows' milk a wiser purchase than soy milk, and that more than half the stuff in Wal-Mart is not useless junk."

1. Hey whatever happened to midnight basketball?
Conservatives literally laughed it out of existence and made arguably racist wisecracks about it.

It can be a good program, as long as it's run on the weekends or at times of the year when school is not in session.
