(Rooters Washington D.C.) Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) has issued a statement about the Presidents latest grandstanding. “It is unbelievable the latest flamboyant showmanship that Mr. Bush has exhibited. Does he think that the sun only sets for him? How much taxpayers money was spent delaying the sun for this photo op. How many people shivered waiting for the sun to rise in their geographical location. The sun belongs to all nations of the world and was worshiped by many old world religions before he came along to usurp its cultural meanings. Inca blood was spilled for the sun and he comes along posing and primping trying to upstage our source of clean non-polluting heat. This is not some made-for-TV backdrop for a campaign commercial. As I watched the President walk across the background of the sun I could not help but think of Joshua and his stopping of the sun to wage war on an indigenous people, probably for oil.”

Where was the Gentleman from West Virginia when President Clinton was caught yukking it up at a funeral, spotted a camera, and instantly went into “I’m so sad” mode? Where was he when Clinton walked along the beach in Normandy, oh-so-coincidentally spotted a pile of stones lying on a beach and paused to lay them out in cruciform?
Hmmmmm?
Great spoof, Jeff. I only wish the stories about Clinton were actually spoofs as well, instead of real events.
Byrd needs to retire.
Michelle, I definitely remember the film of Clinton at Ron Brown’s funeral – worthy of an Oscar. And who could forget the fact that aides had beforehand rounded up the pebbles for Clinton to coincidentally find.
