President George W. Bush was unusually reflective in the final weeks of his administration, taking time during speeches and press conferences to look back on key decisions, expound on his legacy, and tout his role in paving the way for the nation’s first African-American president by serving eight years as its first openly gay president. “I’m inspired by our great country’s willingness to look past the color of a man’s skin–or, in my case, his overt homosexuality–and elect him based on his ability to lead,” Bush told reporters following his meeting with president-elect Barack Obama on Nov. 10. “I’ve always been proud of my homosexuality, and I am so proud of the United States.”
Bush added, “Thank you, America, for taking a chance on an openly gay man from Texas: tight jeans, cowboy hats, and all.” [The Onion]

It kind of rang……….so……….fucking………….far from the truth that the only people who may just believe this are the Chinese (previously believed ‘Onion’) It’s only when you read the last words “Texas: tight jeans, cowboy hats, and all.” that it becomes funny, especially if you’ve been to Gay Ole Dallas!

My favorite quote:
“Believe me, sister, he overcompensated with a capital ‘compensated,'” (Ari) Fleischer said. “But when the cameras stopped rolling and the podium was put away, he was just fabulous. We had a fabulous, fabulous time.”

The thing about humor…some aspect of the joke has to ring kinda true so that the funny stuff is actually kinda funny…otherwise it’s just kinda dumb.
