Paramount Hires Path to 9/11 Writer For Movie On ‘The Hunt For Osama Bin Laden’

10. don't tell me - after saving New Orleans from Katrina

bush jumps into his Dubya-jet-mobile, zooms off to east holeinnawallistan. Once there our leader uses his terrorist-x-ray vision, locates bin-laden, and after a brief but suspense filled struggle, he manages to hog tie bin-laden and wins the rodeo contest...
