The Onion's Sendoff of W

The Bush articles remind me of how, for yonks, whenever they had an article about Strom Thurmond, they concluded it with, “The Senator then died.”

That …was…brilliant

Now I have to find a work related excuse to explain to my boss and co-workers why I can’t stop laughing

Good Lord, is that creepy…

I also like the Hillry Clinton mouthing along to oath article as well.

At least she has something more interesting to do now.

Wow. :smack:
From the article:

…president-elect George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that “our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over.”
President-elect Bush vows that “together, we can put the triumphs of the recent past behind us.”
“My fellow Americans,” Bush said, “at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us.”

Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years

On the economic side, Bush vowed to bring back economic stagnation by implementing substantial tax cuts, which would lead to a recession, which would necessitate a tax hike, which would lead to a drop in consumer spending, which would lead to layoffs, which would deepen the recession even further.

An overwhelming 49.9 percent of Americans responded enthusiastically to the Bush speech.
