Bush is a saint... {NB: This is a joke!}

[CurtEastPoint]

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. He is a liar, a
cheat, and a low-intelligenc e 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 dollars, 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."
