Thread Name: BS: Pres. Bush in pretzel choking drama
Subject: Pres. Bush in pretzel choking drama
I heard on the news this morning that President Bush fainted after choking on a pretzel. Several thoughts clamoured at once for attention as I listened:
Did it "go down the wrong way", as claimed by the White House, or was it pushed?
That's an unconstitutional way of assassinating a president; the proper traditional is by shooting.
There ought to be a song in this, like "They tell me Mr Dubya's been [insert suitable word] down, low down".

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this. One that's just occured to me while writing this is: maybe they'll name a cartoon animal after him (you know, like Garfield)--what might it be?I wait with baited breath [oops--bad taste!]
