Fishing with W.

A foul stench breezed through town yesterday. Its name was George W. Bush.

Now Bush has three friends in Asia: Korea's Mr. Lee, The Philippines' Mrs. Arroyo, and our own Samak, whose self-described political philosophy is: "absolute rightist". No wonder Hot Dog Bush is touring Asia; that's a lot better than he's doing in Europe.

Seeing him on TV, all I could think was: "Man, that guy is OLD!" I lived in Texas when he was governor. He seemed a spirited middle-aged guy. Now he's just a decrepit old man.

It was a good idea to limit the presidency to 8 years--they age 20 years during that time. No wonder FDR died in office. If McCain gets elected, I don't think he'll make it. If he does, they will roll him out of the White House in a wheelchair.

Now, Obama is handsome. If he gets elected, he will start ageing and graying very soon.

After Hot Dog Bush gets booted, I will invite him back to Thailand for some R & R. We can go fishing at the dam while Laura goes to the border to work with refugees.

Aged, unpopular, and spent, he should appreciate the invitation.

Mr. Mick,

You forgot to add Georgie's best friend Mr. Fukuda on his list of buddies.

True, Fukuda is buddy-buddy with hot-dog bush. I probably left a few others out, too. It's scary the way the right is so well represented in asia, while the rest of the world drifts towards normalcy.
