Why oh why can’t we get a better preznit?

Ugh:
Harried homeowners seeking mortgage relief from a new Bush administration hotline Thursday had to contend with a bit of temporary misdirection from the president himself.
As he announced his plan to ease the mortgage crisis for consumers, President Bush accidentally gave out the wrong phone number for the new “Hope Now Hotline” set up by his administration.
Wait. It does indeed get better:
UPDATE: Anyone who dialed 1-800-995-HOPE did not reach the mortgage hotline but instead contacted the Freedom Christian Academy — a Texas-based group that provides Christian education home schooling material.
Next week, Bush will give out his administration’s hotline to help needy families pay their heating bills: 1-800-JEEEEEEE-SUS-AAAAAH!

Dude, he got the number 70% right. That’s a solid “C” where I went to school, right in the meaty part of the curve.
The fact is, a woodburning stove and some homeschooling “material” will heat your house just fine. Plus it’s a non-depleteable renewable resource.
whenever I want to call the White House I dial 976-EVIL.
Oh, come on. At least the preznit’s fuckups are pretty consistently funny, except for —
Oh. Well, never mind.
er, make that 976-EVIL.
No, I agree- no one has yet died from this particular mistake.
Notice how I said “yet.”
Does he still have access to the Nuclear Football?
Your tax dollars at work.
I’m referring of course to the Freedom Christian Academy.
He’s never had access to the nuclear football. The nukular football is another story, unfortunately.

Yes, but is it tax deductible?
Does he still have access to the Nuclear Football?
Sadly, no! Just the Nukular nerf Football.
Dammit!
Why are you smiling anyway?
The smile was just sitting there. Nobody was using it.

Might not be so bad if he has to remember launch codes. I suspect it’s pretty user-friendly, though.
President Bush is a good man who has done an excellent job at defending this Country from the islamo-facsists, but you liberals will never admit that. We haven’t been attacked on American soil since 9/11 liberals have we?
I heard they replaced the launch codes with a button with a happy face.
Well, at least the people who called the number won’t get a massive charge on their credit card statements next month.
Right?

If you get PIN number wrong three times, it confiscates your card, and a message flashes up advising that you have to go to Head Office to get it back. But of course there’s no-one there outside of usual office hours, so you have to go all weekend without launching any warheads*. Don’t you hate it when that happens?
*Not a euphemism for anything.
Getting my PIN number wrong three times is natures way of telling me to call it a night.
Can we just vote NOW?!?! Please???
Um Saul, I usually don’t bother with you, but didn’t Bush just sell out Israel enough to have pissed you off….much in the same manner that he has gone through every special interest group who once supported him and let them down? Oh yeah, I forget about all of the sleeper cells he has stopped just in time. In his flight suit. Give up.

Maybe one of those Easy buttons from Staples. Makes a great gift!
Saul, shut the fuck up.
As he announced his plan to
ease the mortgage crisis for consumersbail out reckless banking corporations…FYT, Bradley.
…but didn’t Bush just sell out Israel enough to have pissed you off…(?)
If Saul was actually Jewish, perhaps.
Anyone who dialed 1-800-995-HOPE did not reach the mortgage hotline but…
Now I’m sad it wasn’t a gay phone sex hotline. =(
That wouldn’t be a problem for Bush. Judging from his famous response to Karla Faye Tucker’s pleas for clemency, he doesn’t let his sense of humor get dampened by mere human death.
Fucking sociopath.
Please don’t foreclose me…
mikey
Osama bin-Forgotten was hunted down and captured or killed.Al-Qaeda has been destroyed and its members captured or killed.
The terrorists have at least been neutralized.
There have been no terrorist attacks against our allies England, Spain, Australia, et al., since 9/11.
Oh, bloody hell.
We haven’t been attacked on American soil since 9/11 liberals have we?
Notice how I said “yet.”
Give it a few weeks. Foreclosure in winter means homeless families dying in cars of carbon monoxide poisoning as they try to keep warm or of simple exposure on the streets.
Frankly, he’s fucked up the government badly enough, through incompetence and cronyism and malfeasance, that *any* of his policies are more than capable of racking up a body count.

It was probably just the first number that came to mind.
I hope Mr. Flight Suit is going to pick up the Freedom Christian Academy’s phone bill next month–those 800 long-distance calls are all paid for by the recipient.
Right. Who am I kidding?
