Now they are reporting hand grenade near bush* was Live...

He barely survived!!!!

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/05/18/bush.georgia/index.html

~snip~ U.S. and Georgian officials Wednesday also confirmed the grenade was tossed into the crowd, contradicting last week's statement that it was placed there and not thrown.

3. What's next?

The heroic story of how Chimpy threw himself on the live grenade and saved everyone in the crowd, and how Gawd Almighty through the Power of the Blood of the Sacred Heart of Jesus preserved Chimpy's life?

17. Like in the Rumsfeld story

Craig Quigley, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, said at an afternoon news conference that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was in his office at the time of the crash. Rumsfeld ran to the site and helped with those who were injured, Quigley said, then went to the command center at the interior of the building.

18. Rumsfeld "ran" to the site?

That's hardly heroic. Better make it "was carried to the site on the gossamer wings of a legion of cherubim and began ministering to the injured and the wounded as only a godly man of god could godly minister."

Much better! And can we get a small chorus (no more than 12 or 15 voices -- okay 20, tops) to do some heavenly "aaaahhhs" in the background when Quigley issues his new and improved statement?

19. The story changed later on

It turned out that Rumsfeld was in his room doing a teleconference with Cheney and Richard Clarke and Clarke confirmed this as well. He didn't leave his room...

And I also think Tom Delay should get some slack.

11. "His heroism saved the day!" will be the next headline on this.

As Bush scrambled to carry a half dozens babies to safety, he took apart the live grenade in micro-seconds, ate the explosive, which surely would have decimated the entire nation, then proceeded to complete his speech with barely a grimace as he broke into song, "Amazing Grace".

It's just more fiction from the Bush Propaganda Ministry.

12. Well, CNN is stupidly slow; tbrnews.org already reported that, May 11.

Another funny story deals with the famous hand grenade incident in Georgia. Believe it, a live grenade was thrown at Bush but bounced off someone else and fell back to the ground. Since this would indicate a laxity on the part of his guards, the story soon changed to the live grenade being a �dud� and then �just a hoax.� I am waiting for the spin freaks to come out with the story that the grenade was actually one of those fancy Ukrainian Easter eggs with a little note from some Georgian woman thanking God for sending Bush to earth to bless the people of Georgia. Stories about attacks, or even hinted at attacks on our Beloved Leader on the Internet drive the people here crazy.

There's more. This site is always worth reading.

14. That Cessna was really a Boing 747, chocolate rations increased

Edited on Wed May-18-05 10:46 AM by uppityperson

Your chocolate ration has now been increased to 21 grams from 25 grams it was next week.

The Cessna was really a Boeing jet.

Pray for the prezdint.

Edited to change after reading BBC news story. At least the grenade hasn't moved closer yet.

16. Who cares?

If they don't care about the facts leading up to the Iraq war becuase it's water under the bridge, why give a shit about a dud of a grenade from a week ago? Who. Fucking. Cares.
