Now he can lie about how many fish he catches and American will be better off: "News satire torn and twisted from today’s headlines Bush shows leadership, jails self By John Breneman John Breneman Archive President Bush shocked the nation with a bold stroke of leadership yesterday, announcing that both he and Vice President Dick Cheney would go to prison for past financial shenanigans. "I can't very well go around preaching 'corporate responsibility' when I scammed almost a million bucks from that insider deal at Harken Energy," the president told astonished reporters during a White House press conference. "This is the only way the American people will believe I mean business about restoring their faith in big business." In a special plea bargain agreement with the corporate fraud task force he created earlier this week, the president will serve 8-10 months at a minimum security facility in Kennebunkport, Maine, where he will only be allowed to go fishing and ride in his cigarette boat once a day. Bush plans to spend most of his time running on a treadmill and playing T-ball. Cheney, whose financial trickery as CEO of Halliburton fleeced investors out of millions, will join the president in Kennebunkport, where Bush said he would bunk with "Kenny Boy and that Andersen fellow." Handling the nation's day-to-day business in their absence will be Secretary of the Army Thomas White, the former Enron executive who demonstrated his business acumen by selling $12 million in stock just before the company folded.
