CHENEYLAND

Okay, there are really too many easy jokes to make about this:

President Bush will undergo a routine colonoscopy Saturday and temporarily hand presidential powers over to Vice President Dick Cheney, the White House said.

But I think funniest-because-it's-truest is this: "temporarily"! HAHAHAHAHHAAH!

[Wipes eyes, straightens up.]

Okay, back to work now.

"Temporarily."

That's just really funny.

BUT SERIOUSLY: Colonoscopies aren't funny. I mean, they ARE, but they're not. So, you know, make jokes about Cheney but sked something anyway if you're in that, uhm, demo. It's not like you need the blood of a thousand virgins to stay alive.
