Bush Bashment In Deep Recession
Worst anyone’s seen since the Great Depressing election of 2000, humorism experts say. Politico: The Chimpy t-shirts aren’t selling, the Bush cookies are getting stale. George Clooney is the only person who’s bought any of those in months, and he just did it to watch Michael Moore bite their heads off for old times sake. Traffic’s dropped off at the Bushy yuk sites. It’s hard times for Bush bashers, who say their efforts to make Obama jokes aren’t flying. They report he’s just not funny enough.
They must not be trying very hard.
“Uh, let’s see. How many Obama administration members does it take to screw up the economic recovery?”
“That’s not funny!”
“OK. Uh, Obama, the United States Congress and the drunken, bloated, rampaging chimp who wrote the bailout bill go into a bar … ”
“You said chimp! That’s racist!”
“I got one. Obama finds this magic lantern. It’s called Europe. He rubs it and SHAZAM, out come Gordon Brown, Nicholas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel. “O Great One,” they say, “You have released us from eight years of frightful torment. We like you better! You have brought not only hope, but change! Your wish is our command!” Obama says, “I’ll have 10,000 troops!” And Brown, Sarkozy and Merkel say, “Uh … try again! Whatever else you want, it will be yours!”
“This really isn’t working. How are you supposed to make jokes about, you know, Obama?”
“Let’s see. Kim Jong Il fires off an intercontinental ballistic missile. Makes the Japanese nervous. Obama says, ‘I’m going to get a really stern UN resolution!’ Ba-dum-dum.”
“That’s dumb.”
“OK, Obama goes to a big international summit in Sydney, says ‘Sorry, I don’t speak Australian.’”
“I don’t get it. Australians speak English. Sort of.”
“Never mind. One more. OK … blah blah blah, Economic Stimulus Plan, blah blah blah House Republicans … and then Obama says, ‘Why don’t you just get some new marching orders from Rush Limbaugh!?!’”
“Ha ha ha! Comedy gold! … Hey, we could make Rush Limbaugh cookies!”
Bummer the Bush bash biz is falling off, though the article goes on to say Bush fan stuff is flying off the shelves, so that’s something.
