President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the
Episcopal Church outside Washington as part of his
campaign to restore his pathetic and dropping 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, hurricane Katrina,
and the like. We'd gladly make a contribution to the
church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say
"George Bush is a saint."

The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and
finally said, "The Church is in really 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 is a liar, a cheat, and a
low-intelligence 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, gas prices are up 85%, the people of
America cannot afford it...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, Karl Rove
and Tom DeLay, George Bush is a saint."
