They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden, the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water. The Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but President Bush waves them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry." President Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and; walks out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over picks it up, then walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the Pope amid stunned silence. The next morning, the headlines in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Atlanta Constitution, Washington Post, Boston Herald, Buffalo News, Houston Chronicle, Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal, Minneapolis Tribune, Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, Los Angeles Times and San Francisco Chronicle all proclaim: "Bush Can't Swim!"

The right needs something else to blame for their failures. Why not appoint a minister of propoganda? Newspaper's should be reporting that the happy and grateful Iraqi's have all joined the Republican Party, North Korea & Iran have given us their nukes, and Bush's approval rating is above 100%. NEVER let facts get in the way of the way you want things to be.... Ken
