Bush: Can I stop being President now?

Submitted by casseia on Tue, 2008-11-04 16:59.

WASHINGTON—In a press conference held this morning on the White House lawn, President Bush formally asked the assembled press corps and members of his own administration if, in light of today's election, he could stop being the president now. "So it's over, right? Can I stop being president now?" Bush said after striding to the podium in a Texas Rangers cap and flannel shirt, carrying a fully packed suitcase. "Let's just say I'm done as of now. Presidency over." When informed by Washington Post reporter David Broder that his presidency would continue through early January, Bush stared at him quizzically, sighed, and shuffled silently back into the White House.

Brothers (and others) should pull up pants

Brother, beware! Obama wants your closet, too.

Before you cast your vote for Obama, you may want to consider his views on your pants.

That’s right: Obama wants you to pull up yo’ pants. In an obvious appeal to the grandmother vote, Obama revealed his true conservative feelings in an interview posted today on MTV.com. Responding to a write-in question from a young man, Obama stated:

…brothers should pull up their pants. You’re walking by your mother, your grandmother, and your underwear is showing. … What’s wrong with that? Come on. There are some issues that we face that you don’t have to pass a law [against], but that doesn’t mean folks can’t have some sense and some respect for other people. And, you know, some people might not want to see your underwear — I’m one of them.

Never has a candidate reached deeper into the collective American closet than now. Pull up my pants? For real? Where will this lead, and more importantly — where could this end? For example, under an Obama administration would we have to tuck in our shirts? Tie our shoes? Slick down our cowlicks and groom our eybrows? Would we have to say “excuse me” after we burp? Or “pardon me” when we step on another’s toes? Will we suddenly need to know which fork to use — or the difference between “who” and “whom”?

[c455 adds: Let me just say, this has become a major issue in the 9 year old girl community, as well.]
