BUSH STANDS ON THE SIDE OF THE COMMON MAN
(Tomania/AP)
In his never ending battle to perfect his really sad Al Gore impersonation,
Republican Presidential Candidate and Texas Governor George W. Bush (R-Denial)
condescended to speak to actual voters today. Bush explained this sudden and bold change in strategy: "Well, after my
1978 Congressional election was stole from me, I asked some broad in Midland
what was the deal anyway? How come I lost? And she says somethin’
like ‘I didn’t vote for you ‘cuz you didn’t ask me to.’ I mean,
can you believe the nerve of some people?"
When asked by that one really annoying dude at the back why it had taken
Bush 22 years to learn from this supposedly seminal experience, the Governor
intoned slowly "The first dollar gits spent on social sickyurity…
‘cuz… um… Instead of being a retirement system gone bust, it's
a retirement system that's robust!" Extremely pleased with
himself, the Governor continued at a rapidly accelerating pace. "If
you want the Army strong, tell the Democrats ‘so long’! Men seldom
make passes at girls who wear glasses! There’s More With Gore!
Stay out the Bushes! Stay out the Bushes!" The Governor then repeated
"Stay Out The Bushes!" four or five more times before GOP operatives succeeded
in wrestling his tongue to the ground.
TRANSCRIPT OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF GOVERNOR BUSH’S QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION WITH REAL PEOPLE
REAL PERSON #1: "Governor Bush, I think all us Real People are sick to death of the tax-and-spend Big-Brother-Gestapo policies of those pervert-campaign-finance-con-artists in the White House. As President, what would you do to keep our precious tax dollars from being wasted on Big Government boondoggles like School Lunch Programs?"
GOVERNOR BUSH: "Thanks for your questionation, Real Person Number One. I feel as strongly as you does about this awful, real type problem. As Prezedint, I will do something about that, you bet."
REAL PERSON #2: "Governor
Bush, I think all us Real People are worried about the poor oil companies not making a large enough profit margin to continue to pay their CEOs a living wage. As President, what would you do to increase the price of gasoline and home heating oil?"
GOVERNOR BUSH: "Thanks for your questiation, Real Person Number... um... Next Real Person. I agree how appalliatingly criminal it am that all my Daddy has done so far to jack up gas prices has not throwed this election to me. I mean, whadduya gotta do ta git into the White House around here? Start a war or something?"
REAL PERSON #3: "Governor Bush, I think all of us Real People are really ticked off that President Clinton wasted $52 million dollars of tax payer money by stubbornly refusing to be guilty of anything other than the lamest affair in history -- and I think we're all even more hacked at that Vice President Goody-Two-Shoes-Mega-Brain Gore for refusing to commit any crime at all, although I personally don't think it's too late to pass some kind of felony level federal law against kissing your wife in public -- with an increased penalty of the death sentence for smooching a spouse on national television. Furthermore, I feel very strongly that all us Real People are deeply sick and tired of these stupid debates and primaries and elections. As President, what will you do to end these annoying elections that keep pre-empting our favorite TV shows?"
GOVERNOR BUSH: "Geez, this is taking FOREVER! Can I go yet?"
REAL PERSON #4: "Governor Bush, what will your first priority be after your march on Washington ends in a successful coup? How about issuing everybody some really cool uniforms?"
GOVERNOR BUSH: "You bet! Nothin's too good for the Americanian peoples!"

The Fine Folks At Fox and Halliburton Remind You That They've Already Sunk A Ton Of Money Into This Election, So If You Must Vote, Vote For Their Guy.
Or Else.
