A Texan's Opinion
The Post Turtle

While suturing a laceration on the hand of a 70-year-old Texas rancher (whose hand had caught in a gate while working cattle), a doctor and the old man were talking about George W. Bush being in the White House.

The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Bush is a 'post turtle'."

Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked him what a post turtle was. The old man said, "When you're driving down a country road, and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a post turtle.

The old man saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain, "You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor dumb thing get down."

Let's help ol' George get down in November, now, hear?

1. George the post-turtle, I like it
Glad to see that even old Texans see that * is a miserable failure.

12. Somebody needs to send the post turtle picture to Molly Ivins.
She will make good use of it. Come to think of it, it sounds like something she would come up with.
