Weekly World News: Minister Starts "Church of George W. Bush"

For all you tabloid junkies out there:

MINISTER STARTS 'CHURCH OF GEORGE W. BUSH'
By SCOTT STEVENS

WHILE many evangelicals consider George W. Bush to be the most religious President in a long time, a Texas minister is taking it a big step further: He's open The First Church of George. W. Bush.

Minister Phillip Gomez says, "Bush is God's messenger on Earth. It's clear that God put Bush in the White House to do his bidding.

"Look at the evidence: Bush didn't even win the election in 2000, and yet God found a way to put him in office. Plus, Bush is infallible. He's been asked a number of times to name something he's done wrong, and he can't think of a single thing.

"And look at the symbolism. Metaphorically Bush spent forty years wandering in the 'desert' of being a drunken frat-boy.

1. It's sad when WWN has a story that seems likely.

10. It's the Weekly World News.

You know... the people who brought you "Historians agree: Hitler was a Woman".

[HEyHEY]

11. Yes, the last bastion of true gritty journalism

Actually it's pretty bad when a WWN story could actually be considered true. Says something about the current state of the Union.

[Shell Beau]

believe. There are some loons out there and most of them worship Bush.
