Sorry, But This Is Too GODDAMN FUNNY!

There is so much talent at DU. Someone's gotta be good enough to come up with an entire book of these. Think of the fun!

President George W. Bush surprised the U.S. Senate today by submitting an Iraq war resolution written entirely in the format of the classic “Mad Libs” novelty game.

The resolution, with blank spaces indicating where adjectives, nouns, and place names could be added by the President at a later date, may face a rocky road to passage, with some leading Democrats finding the seventy-nine empty spaces in the document problematic.

“While ‘Mad Libs’ has entertained my family on long car trips for years, it has no place in a resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq,” Majority Leader Tom Daschle told reporters.

Deriding the “Mad Libs” resolution as a “fill-in-the-blanks” document, Senator Daschle singled out the following sentence for being “too broad” in its scope: “The President shall have the authority to (destructive verb) and (another destructive verb) any locations in (country name) if there is evidence that they contain (plural noun) or (plural noun).”
