Where’d you get the turkey leg, Mr. President?

bush-hat-basket-2-200.jpgBlog Guy, I see a lot of pictures of President Bush wearing various baseball caps. I was wondering, where does he get those?

Right. Whenever Air Force One lands, there’s a designated “basket lady.” She’s allowed through security with assorted small items to sell to the President. Baseball caps, tangerines, meat products…

Sometimes, as you can see in this photo, if he has enough small bills he’ll just buy the whole basket. After take-off he wears the hat and eats the food.

That’s not true! I think you’re just making up moronic horse-poopy again!

Oh yeah? Where ELSE would the President of the United States get a baseball cap?

“Mr. President! Such an honor to meet you! I hope you don’t mind I brought along this basket to show my appreciation. Look, I included a hat with a ‘G’ on it ’cause, you know, you’re like the ultimate G-man!” (giggle)

“Oh! Why thank you. That’s very clever and kind, but I’m really not both God and Man. That would be sacrilegious. Luckily though, the hat only shows a ‘G’ so I can still wear it.”

So the Peace Corps brings clean running water, safe schools, and necessary medical care to poor people all over the world, while the Freedom Corps brings baseball caps and similar tchotchkes to pampered multi-millionaire Republicans all over America.

Such is the difference between John F. Kennedy and George W. Bush.
