OMG, too funny...Bush Calls for Panic

If you saw Bush's address on the financial crisis....This is pretty funny:

Speaking from the Oval Office, Bush assured citizens that in these times of great uncertainty, the best and only course of action is to come under the throes of a sudden, overwhelming fear marked by hysterical or irrational behavior.

"My fellow Americans, the time for running aimlessly through streets while shrieking and waving our arms above our heads is now," Bush said. "I understand that many of you are worried about your economic future and our situation overseas, and you have every right to be. Yet there is only one thing we as a nation can do in times like these: give up all hope and devolve into a lawless, post-apocalyptic, every-man-for-himself society."

"For those of you who have remained resolute in your belief that things will turn around eventually, I urge you to close your eyes, take shallow rapid breaths, and begin freaking out immediately," Bush added. "At this point, anyone who isn't scared to death needs to wake the fuck up—because we're screwed here."

1. Actually it really isn't very funny

It would be if it weren't so close to the truth.

4. Agreed, but if you don't laugh at this point, you'll start crying...

The key to beating them is mockery.

2. His comments this AM were a riot. He is so clueless about what steps are being taken

that he had to keep refering to his notes when trying to explain it. It was clear he doesn't know what he is doing anymore than we do.
