“A nice verbal letter to a guy we really care for”

posted by on August 1 at 15:10 PM

George W. Bush, along with his dad and his brother Jeb, took a break from lunching at the Bush compound in Kennebunkport to surprise-call Rush Limbaugh’s show today and congratulate him for being on the air for 20 years.

THE PRESIDENT: Rush Limbaugh?

RUSH: Yes, sir, Mr. President.

THE PRESIDENT: President George W. Bush calling to congratulate you on 20 years of important and excellent broadcasting.

All three Bushes congratulated Limbaugh in turn, but the dumbest Bush talked the longest.

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m just calling along with President 41 and the former governor of Florida. We’re fixing to have lunch here, and I said, “Listen, we ought to call our pal and let him know that we care,” for you. So this is as much as anything, a nice verbal letter to a guy we really care for…I am great. We’re doing very good, thank you very much, sir. Concerned about our economy, obviously, but know we need to be drilling for some oil and gas in order to take the pressure off the gas prices — and I’m pleased with the progress in Iraq.

Isn’t that just so fucking sweet you could vomit?

Probably not whom Rush wanted to have call, I gather.

Actually, The President thought he was calling in for REO Speedwagon tickets.

Leave it to texans to instantly think all our economic troubles can be solved by drilling for oil, maybe next he'll say we should sell a few head of cattle and get pissed off about Calvera and his gang of bandits stealing our horses.

I just learned something new...I didn't know we drilled for gas...

Afterwards, they all enjoyed $250 Cuban cigars lit with $100 bills and relaxed by having a real-live Texas-style skeet shoot; the elder Bush won the gentlemen's competition by bagging a total of five poor people.

"Pull!"

Kennebunkport is one of my favorite places on earth. I hate that those filthy scumbags are hanging around their pigpen at Walker Point again like a bad smell.

"we need to be drilling for some oil and gas in order to take the pressure off the gas prices"

If you say it enough, it becomes true.

Wow, do you really believe that western bull? You don't, right? I will assume it was just sarcasm.
The presidents image has always reminded me of my grandfather. The entire texan thing.... its weird. I can't see how someone like that became president.

I hope GW lives so long to be the but of every joke, of every judge, of every historian, of every rational person, to have nobody left willing to associate with. Denounced by Christians, conservatives, and the World. I hope that he begins drinking again. I hope that he feels so very alone and terrified that he will go to the hell his kind purport exists. I hope these things, I truly do.

What an absolute tragedy for each and every good American.

Rush wet himself a little, I'm sure.

If we're doing so well in Iraq, why aren't Rush and GWB spending their summers vacationing there?

I hear Michelle Malkin can use some more sun ...

@5, actually, after that, they called me and asked if I had Prince Albert in a can.

Then they did what you said.

#14: Just play along. Most prank callers can't call in an airstrike if your response fails to amuse them.

I am praying for them all to die. Tonight, in their sleep. Dear God, make it happen. Jesus, take them from us. Yes, Limbaugh too.

You know, at least Rain City Jacks do their circle-jerks in private.

A little? He straight up came in pants, along with every dumbfuck "dittohead" listening.

This whole story makes me want to vomit.
