Subject: SAINT GEORGE Bush and the Church...
****
* >** President George W.* Bush was scheduled to visit
* > the United Methodist Church outside Washington as
* > part of his campaign.* Bush's campaign manager made
* > a visit to the Pastor, and said to him, "We've been
* > getting a lot of bad publicity among Methodists
* > because of Bush's position on stem cell research and
* > the like.* We'd gladly make a contribution to the
* > church of $100,000 if during your sermon you'd say
* > the President is a saint."
*** The pastor thinks it over for a few moments and
* > finally says, "The Church is in desperate need of
* > funds and I will agree to do it."
******
* >** Bush pompously shows up looking especially smug
* > today and as the sermon progresses the pastor begins
* > his homily: "George Bush is petty, a self-absorbed
* > hypocrite and a nitwit.* He is a liar, a cheat, and
* > a low-intelligence weasel.* He has lied about his
* > military record and had the gall to put himself in a
* > jet plane landing on a carrier posing before a
* > banner stating 'Mission Accomplished.' He invaded a
* > country for oil and money, and is using it to lie to
* > the American people.* He is the worst example of a
* > United Methodist I've ever personally known.* But
* > compared to Dick Cheney and the rest of his cabinet,
* > George Bush is a saint."
