If Bush Jr. is Scrooge, the Bush Sr. should be Jacob Marley

By W. Christopher Epler (Bill)

A Christmas conversation between George Bush Sr. and George Bush Jr. Not much happens.

::::::::

Bush Sr.: Son, I have finally understand that rampant greed is a sin. Bush Jr.: But I listen to a higher father who says greed is a virtue. Bush Sr.: No, no, no! My lifetime has shown me that limitless avarice necessitates lying to the American people, which is contemptible and unpatriotic. Bush Jr.: But my higher father says the end justifies any means. Bush Sr.: But what is your end in Iraq? Bush Jr.: Iraq (and I can't understand why you don't already know this) is a Christian Crusade to kill off Muslims . . . and appropriate their godless oil in the process. Bush Sr.: But what about all those Iraqi children. Bush Jr.: "Collateral damage". Yawn. Bush Sr.: But what about all our young solders who are being massacred at ever greater rates. Bush Jr.: You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. Yawn. Bush Sr.: Tell me son, just between you and me, you don't REALLY believe in all that Armageddon crap, do you? You know, the Baptist Big Bang. Bush Jr.: Get thee behind me Satan! Bush Sr.: Hmmm. Son, how many fingers am I holding up? Bush Jr.: Uh . . . Bush Sr.: Well, let me try a different tack. You know your clerk Bob Crotchet is virtually your slave. Doesn't that bother you? Bush Jr.: Is that his name? I just thought he was a subhuman liberal, and who better to clean out my commode? Bush Sr.: I doubt now if this will go very far, but did you know he has a crippled child, Tiny Tim, who is almost certainly going to die fairly quickly if he doesn't receive some medical help (maybe like embryonic stem cell research). Bush Jr.: Tiny Tim, huh? Is he a Palestinian? Bush Sr.: No, he's just a little boy without political connections. Bush Jr.: Sounds like a Palestinian to me. Bush Sr.: Sigh! Georgie, I was going to send 3 spirits to see you tonight. I thought they might help you to avoid the abyss, but now I realize that it would be a total waste of their time. Bush Jr.: Are they Democrats? Bush Sr.: Goodnight Georgie . . . and good luck America! Bush Jr.: Jeez, creeping Altzheimers. Tiny Tim: God bless us all. God: Get serious. **********************************************************************
