Washington - On the 5th anniversary of President Bush’s heroic landing on the USS Abraham Lincoln and speech before the Mission Accomplished banner, the White House has admitted that the banner could have been "more specific." To mark the anniversary, spokesperson Dana Perino announced that the White House will be holding a contest for families and friends of the over 4,000 soldiers who have perished, and the more than 50,000 who have been maimed since the original Mission Accomplished banner was unfurled, asking them to come up with a more specific banner.

"President Bush has always been a lemons into lemonade guy," said spokesperson Dana Perino. "He sees the contest as a way to comfort those in the military who might have thought the banner meant their lives would be safe and they would be returning to their families whole."

"We’re looking for it to be fun," added Perino. "Something that both defines what has actually taken place since the President said, ‘Major combat operations in Iraq have ended,’ while at the same time absolves the President from any direct responsibility for the shitstorm that his actions have caused."

Some of the early entries includes...

"Huge Defense Contracts and Profits For Halliburton, Blackwater, other friends of Bush/Cheney Built On The Graves of Innocents Accomplished"

"Generating a Smokescreen to Cover up the Disembowelment of  Federal Departments and Their Conversion to Partisan Operations - i.e. EPA, Justice, Housing – Accomplished"

"Protection of Osama Bin Laden by Diverting Resources from Finding Him and Those Who Were Actually Behind 9-11 Accomplished"

"Increasing Foreign Tourism by Weakening the Dollar to the Point That it Is Cheaper for the French, English and Germans to Fly Here to Do Their Christmas Shopping Than to Go to Their Local Mall Accomplished."

"Going to War With The President You Have, Not The President You'd Like Accomplished"

"Bringing Together Families in Unanticipated Ways With Widows (And Widowers) and Their Children Get to Move in with Their Own Parents in Order to Survive Life as Single-parents as Well as Families Getting to Spend More Time than Ever with Their Grown Children Now That They Get to Visit Them at Their Hospital and Rehab Facility Accomplished"

First prize: John McCain’s 100 More Years In Iraq Banner!

Have fun kids!

Did she really say?

This is to be fun???? What the hell is wrong with these people? I don't see the humor in our soldiers being shot at and suffering for this ass of a President. I don't see the humor in money being tossed out the window at the cesspool they have made out of Iraq. I don't see the humor in anything this administrations says or thinks.  I don't see the humor in the Constitution being used as toilet paper by this administration. I don't see the humor in these public officials who have NO REDEAMING SOCIAL VALUE.

I BELEIVE IT IS SPELLED REDEEMING

while what we americans got was reamed!

"Mission Impossible" except for the billions , if not trillions of dollars

that the put option phonies, munitions companies, and war contractors

have stolen from us!

What could a dumb dog like moi have to bark at, that has not been

said by more intelligent breeds of commentators already.

Perino is an assasin that uses guile, a smirk, and twisted lingo to

kill, just as deadly, as the most ruthless murderers of all time.

Her employers are the real Mafia. They put many in cement booties

using poison, hired gunmen and propaganda to kill one's body and

reputations. 

 

Wolfie is going to play dead. ( I hope! )
