George Bush is a Saint

President Bush was scheduled to worship at a small Methodist Church outside Washington, D.C. as part of Karl Rove’s campaign to reverse Bush’s rapidly deteriorating approval ratings.  A week before the visit, Rove called on the Methodist Bishop who was scheduled to preach on the chosen Sunday.

“As you know, Bishop,” began Rove, “we’ve been getting a lot of bad publicity among Methodists because of the president’s position on stem cell research and the like.  We’d gladly arrange for Jack Abramoff’s friends to make a contribution of $100,000 to the church if during your sermon you would say that President Bush is a Saint.”

The Bishop thought about it for a few minutes, and finally said, “This parish is in rather desperate need of funds … I’ll agree to do it.”

The following Sunday, Bush pompously showed up for the photo op, looking especially smug even while attempting to appear pious.

After making a few announcements, the Bishop began his homily: “George W. Bush is a petty, vindictive, sanctimonious hypocrite and a nitwit.  He is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence weasel with the world’s largest chip on his shoulder.  He used every dirty election trick in the book and still lost, but his toadies in the Supreme Court appointed him.  He lied about his military record in which he used special privilege to avoid combat, and then had the gall to dress up and pose on an aircraft carrier before a banner stating “Mission Accomplished.”

He invaded a sovereign country for oil and war profiteering, turning Iraq into a training ground for terrorists who would destroy our country.  He continues to confuse the American people by insisting on a nonexistent connection between the horrors of 9/11 and the reason he started his war in Iraq.

He routinely appoints incompetent and unqualified cronies to high-level federal government positions and as a result, hundreds and hundreds of Americans died tragically in New Orleans.  He lets corporate polluters despoil God’s creation and doom our planet.  He uses fearmongering to justify warrantless spying on American citizens, in clear violation of our Constitution.

He is so psychotic and megalomaniacal that he believes that he was chosen by God.

He is the worst example of a Methodist I have ever personally known.

But compared to Dick Cheney, Tom DeLay and Karl Rove and the rest of the evil fascist bastards in this administration, “George W. Bush is a Saint.”
