According to White House spokesman Scott McClellan, the incident happened yesterday during the President’s customary after-lunch recess. “He was having a snowball fight with Rove, nothing unusual. And then, wham, the President just licked the freezing flagpole, without seeming to give it much thought,” McClellan said. Witnesses to the incident said that Bush’s dog Barney, who was playing nearby, saw the President get stuck to the pole and proceed to mark his territory around him. “When Barney started to pee on his leg, that’s when W tried to pull away,” said Meredith Medley, a Bush supporter. “That’s when it got ugly.” Within seconds, however, a phalanx of secret service agents carrying buckets of hot water rushed from the white house kitchen to help separate the remainder of Bush’s tongue. “We’ve been training for this for the last four years,” said agent Jeffrey Wald. “Between you and me, General Clark never would have gotten himself into this mess.” McClellan downplayed the seriousness of the injury, noting that Bush will continue with the speech therapy he was undergoing well before this incident. The ironic upside, McClellan added, is that the President Bush now pronounces the word “nuclear” correctly. “So we’re actually hoping he doesn’t fully recover before his visit to North Korea next week.” rashreport.com ------------- "anybody but bush" ... vote for me --- get FREE money
