Worldwide Exclusive--Bush beating Christ


Bolstered by a more robust economy, The New York Times reported today that George Bush’s poll numbers had improved.

But in a worldwide “Shadow” exclusive, George Bush is even beating the Lord Jesus in a poll commissioned by CBS2 Chicago and the Daily Southtown.

Besting Christ by more than 800 daily posts, bloggers commented about The Son of Bush 188,075 times in the last thirty days, while The Son of God garnered a mere 162,688 posts.

“Repeated calls to heaven went unreturned,” decried veteran CBS2 reporter Mike Flannery. “But the White House was quick to capitalize, slamming Yahweh for his opposition to war in general.”

“The ‘love your neighbor’ rhetoric is so 20th century,” said White House spokesperson Scott McClellan. “George Bush respects the Messiah, but this poll reveals that the ‘turn the other cheek’ philosophy is tired, and frankly, in this post 9/11 era of fear, threatens our American way of life.”
