President Bush is visiting an elementary school and drops in on the 4th grade class. The class is in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asks the President if he would like to lead the class in the discussion of the word "Tragedy."

So Bush asks the class for an example of a "Tragedy." One little boy stands up and offers, "If my best friend, who lives next door, is playing in the street and a car comes along and runs him over, that would be a tragedy."

"Oh no," says Bush, "that would be an ACCIDENT."

A little girl raises her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove off a
cliff, killing everyone involved, that would be a tragedy."

"I'm afraid not," explains the President. "That's what we would call a GREAT LOSS." The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.

President Bush searches the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally, way in the back of the room, Lil' Johnny raises his hand. In a quiet voice he says, "If Air Force One, carrying you & Mrs. Bush, was struck by a missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a Tragedy."

"Fantastic," exclaims Bush, "that's right. And can you tell me WHY that would be a Tragedy?"

"Well," said Lil' Johnny, "because it wouldn't be an Accident, and it sure as hell wouldn't be a GREAT LOSS"


Let's have a BBQ, Texas style, ROAST BUSH

Now a travesty would be defined as Bush winning the election again and the American people having to listen to four more years of broken promises.

I like the punch line. That was funny. They only thing I would say that was inaccurate would be that you spelled all of Bush's words correctly. I guess in Bush's mind, everything is spelled correctly, he just can't speak correctly.
