The Episcopal Bishop

[Neil D]

I know that some of you may be upset about what is said about the president. But this is about a bishop, although the president gets the worst of it. The rest of you can enjoy it to your hearts content...

President George W. Bush was scheduled to visit the Episcopal Church in NW Washington as part of his campaign to restore his 28% approval rating in the polls.

Karl Rove made a visit to the Bishop and said,

"We've been getting a lot of bad publicity because

of the President's position on stem cell research,

the Iraq war, Hurricane Katrina, and the VA Hospitals. But, we'll make a $500,000 contribution to your church if during your sermon you will say that the President is a saint.

The Bishop thought it over for a few moments and

finally said, "The Church could really use the money

- I'll do it."

The following Sunday, President Bush showed up for the sermon, and the Bishop began:

"I'd like to speak to all of you this morning about our President, George Bush. He is a liar, a cheat, and a low-intelligence weasel. He took the tragedy of September 11 and used it to frighten and manipulate the American people. He lied about weapons of mass destruction and invaded Iraq

for oil and money, causing the deaths of tens of thousands

and making the United States the most hated nation on earth.

"He appointed cronies to positions of power and influence, leading to widespread death and destruction during Hurricane Katrina. He awarded contracts and tax cuts to his rich friends so

that we now have more poverty in this country and a greater gap between rich and poor than we've had since the Depression.

"He has headed the most corrupt, bribe-inducing political party since Teapot Dome Scandal.

"The national surplus has turned into a staggering national debt of 7.6 trillion Dollars, gas prices are up 85%, which the people of America cannot afford, and vital research into global warming

and stem cells is stopped cold because he's afraid to

lose votes from the religious right.

"He is the worst example of a true Christian I've ever known. But compared to Dick Cheney, George W. Bush is a saint."

LOL. That's a good one!

Should this be in the humor section? No source, anonymous bishop, slander, libel and character assassination. Sounds like a joke gone bad.

What joke?

Sounded like a succinct and accurate summary to me.
