Gannon-Guckert Miffed He Didn’t Get Invited To The White House Correspondents Dinner
by Tony Peyser


Jeff, there’s a difference
You seem to have missed
Between a pulbic-
And a journal- ist.

The publicist’s brow
Never creases
He just sends out
Press releases.

The journalist’s job
Involves sorting
Through facts and doing
A thing called “reporting.”

Journalists’ lives
Are often not calm
No time for sites called
Hotstud.com

But if publicist-whores
Hold a gala or ball
You’ll be the first
Person they call.

4. More Repuke Humor by Tony Peyser -- LAURA BUSH CARTOON
http://www.buzzflash.com/peyser/05/05/pey05115.html

I don't laff though thinking about someone visiting their military vet who is recuperating from wounds they recieved leg amputation.

Republicans -- they would rather attend that party than tour the VETS HOSPITALS.

Take a look at the cartoon.
