"Bush to marry Abdullah?", The New Arabian Nights, Chapter 69. borowitzreport.com Andy Borowitz: Bush to Wed Saudi Prince Impending Nuptials Alter President’s Gay Marriage Stance By: Andy Borowitz Published: Apr 27, 2005 In a stunning development that could alter both the politics of oil in the Middle East and the politics of gay marriage in the United States, President George W. Bush and Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah announced today that they would wed this June. Tongues began wagging after President Bush greeted the Saudi prince at his Crawford, Texas ranch today with a passionate hug and a kiss, igniting rumors that the two men were more than just good friends. Former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, who was accused of being overly affectionate in public with his then-running mate, Sen. John Edwards, while on the 2004 campaign trail, was one of the first to note the steamy display between Mr. Bush and Prince Abdullah. "John and I looked pretty gay, I'll admit, but not as gay as these two," said Mr. Kerry. "I was like, get a room!" The announcement that Mr. Bush was set for a trip to the altar with a Saudi prince immediately raised the ire of gay marriage foes, who saw the president's decision as a cruel betrayal. Hundreds of protesters appeared outside the Crawford ranch moments after the announcement, carrying signs reading, "No Love For Oil." While Mr. Bush acknowledged that his decision to marry Prince Abdullah represents a startling U-turn in his position on gay marriage, he said, "When a Saudi billionaire asks you to marry him, you have to say yes." Elsewhere, Kentucky Fried Chicken today sued Wendy's, claiming that if Wendy's is placing human fingers in their chili they are infringing on KFC's "finger licking good" trademark.
