Gonzo, Begone … And Take Your Pal Bush With You!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
It appears that the Bushies conspired
To ensure that some lawyers were fired,
Cause those lawyers refused
To let laws be abused.
In political crimes Bush is mired.

Was This Included In His Application?
George P. Bush might be a hunkalicious young Republican, but he still seems a bit creepy. On December 31, 1994, Bush showed up at 4 AM at the Miami home of a former girlfriend. He proceeded to break into the house via the woman's bedroom window, and then began arguing with his ex's father. Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home's front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges. (3 pages)
“The
California Legislature announced that they have moved their state president
primary from June to February. That’s right. Yeah, when asked why, a California
lawmaker said, ‘Because it’s really fun to hear Governor Schwarzenegger try to
say ‘February.’” - Conan O’Brien

Subject: The nickname Bush gave Alberto Gonzales
Anyone care to bet Bush
could find a Puzo book in a library?
Smart money says no.
And finish a Godfather book before, say, 1/20/09?
No way.
And, should he even get that far, recognize "'Fredo"?
Hell no.
Doug
I bet
Bush has all of the Godfather movies in his DVD "Liberry". He likes bullies and
blood.
In Godfather II, Fredo Corleone was shot in the back of the head in the middle
of a lake. His brother Michael ordered the hit for betraying him.
I sure
wouldn't want that nickname.
I wouldn't think Alberto Gonzales thinks his nickname is derived from the "Fredo
Bandito".
