A parody Bush website... or not?
It's hard to tell reading this page....

George Walker Bush was born in New Haven, Connecticut in 1946 and grew up in Midland, Texas. He earned his undergraduate degree from Yale University and an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1975. Between his terms at Yale and Harvard, he served our country as a fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard during Vietnam. Bush would later say that this position, awarded to him through his father's connections, gave him respect for the chain of command. Unfortunately, he was unable to serve without interruption, being AWOL for a year between May 1972 and May 1973....

1. Read it carefully...
Bush profited greatly from the sale of this stock just days before Harken finished a financial quarter with a loss in company value of over $23 million, causing the stock value held by unsuspecting shareholders to plummet.

and

...Bush used his business savvy and had the family's land condemned through the City of Arlington and the family was given a fraction of the land's worth. They later sued the City of Arlington and were awarded $7.5 million.

This is, in fact, a scathing indictment of the entire mis-administration, and one hell of a parody site.

Well done.

5. This whole web site is brilliant.
I wonder how many Bushies actually think ti's pro-Bush. It's a clever way to sneak in under their radar and educate them.

18. This is a masterpiece!
Spread it around!

The beauty is that a lot of the more intellectually-challenged repukes will forward it to their repuke friends.
