Donations Wanted: A Marine Colonel, on his way home from work at the Pentagon, came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual, absolutely nothing is moving." He notices a police officer walking back and forth between the lines of cars, so he rolls down his window and asks, "Excuse me, officer, what seems to be the hold-up?" The officer replies, "It appears President Bush has become so terribly depressed that he has stopped his motorcade right smack in the middle of the Beltway, and is now threatening to douse himself in gasoline and set himself on fire." "He claims he is continually haunted by the fact that he is directly responsible for the deaths of well over a hundred thousand people, both in this country and around the world." "He's also saying he can't go on now that the whole country knows he has allowed, and even encouraged, insanely massive amounts of irreversible environmental damage." "He's saying he has doomed future generations by sending the national debt skyrocketing. And he says he now has the U. S. economy teetering hopelessly on a razor's edge." "He says he has made life nearly impossible for the sick, for the needy and for the working poor. And he's saying he is now just a whisper away from wiping out the investment savings of most of the middle class." "He says he is extremely saddened by the fact that the filthy rich and the corporate elite -- who have received every benefit imaginable from him -- are now starting to snub him, calling him a failure. He says they're worried their Republican Party may never recover if he's allowed to finish his 2nd term." "He's saying there is really no sense in him hanging around any longer anyway, as his daughters and most of his friends now hate him, and Laura just goes on and on and on, endlessly, speculating about his real involvement with Jeff Gannon." "He says most of his evangelical base now realizes he is evil and beyond redemption. And he's saying even many of his once loyal-to-a-fault, hip-pocket Republicans in Congress are starting to deny him his wishes." "He's saying that out of all of the 43 U.S. Presidents, historians have now ranked him as 'Number Two All Time Worst' -- second only to Millard Fillmore." "He says the whole world now knows what a horrible, lying little fool he is." "He claims he has squandered all of the millions he has received in bribes from lobbyists, from no-bid-government-contract kick-backs and from illegal campaign contributions, and that he is now flat broke."
"He's still sitting up there sobbing and sniffling, and blubbering on and on about his misdeeds and about how broke he is."
"So anyway, I'm walking around now taking up a collection for the poor guy." "Oh really? How much have you collected?"
"Well so far, around three hundred gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."
