A copy of the Constitution for bush

A New Constitution for Bush

Posted by Laura Barcella at 11:41 AM on June 28, 2006.

Because it's 'patently obvious that Bush lost his copy,' a satire website will purchase (and deliver) a replacement copy of the U.S. Constitution to the president.

This is pretty hilarious. Via Massachusetts-based satire website CrystalAir:

...Donations will be accepted at www.crystalair.com during the next several months to purchase a beautifully framed copy of the Constitution that the President can proudly hang in the Oval Office.

Additionally, donors will have the opportunity to write a personal message to President Bush, which will be delivered to him along with the new copy of the Constitution. Site co-founders Christopher Adams and Richard Gray have been satirizing the President for various blunders and gaffes during his term in office and have taken note of how often Constitutional law is overlooked by President Bush and his administration.

"It's patently obvious to us that at some point, President Bush must have lost his copy of the Constitution," says Gray. "Without a good copy of the Constitution, it's easy to violate the First, Fourth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments. It is our civic duty to our fellow Americans to take up this cause and help President Bush."

Adams notes that the campaign will serve two purposes: "To give the President a handy reference guide when making important decisions and to provide an outlet for the American people to vent by their comments and the gesture itself."

There's One Problem [Report this comment] Posted by: picaresque on Jun 28, 2006 12:16 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Bush is going to need someone to read it for him, otherwise he'll pay as much attention to it as to that ugly oil painting of Bill Clinton down the hall.

Amendment I/ amended (first under consideration for reinterpretation) “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” ************************************ The Decider:Wait a minute, what is mention of Congress doing here? The Decider will decide. Call in Karl, the propaganda ..., uh, the wordsmith, to do a heck of a job dealing with this. What did you say, Karl? This is a simple job? Just a few words so I do not get misunderestimatedstood? ***************************** That’s it Karl ? I just say “I’m the Decider” for each Bill of Rights and then I cut and run? Karl, I’m a heck of a politician -- you know, out hugging babies on the campaign trail and cutting brush like common folk. But someone leaked to me that your “cut and run” trial balloon cut and ran all the way over to the Democrats and they're using it against me. I think it landed on top of the “Mission Accomplished” banner. Karl, I hate to say this. I never said it before to any of my loyal supporters, but is this really a heck of a job you’re doing?

The trailers on the website are excellent. Part of his message is "Stop being a good Democrat. Stop being a good Republican. Start being a good American."

So you have to make it Etched in glass or metal so he will not repeat his statement "That the Constitution is JUST a piece of paper" I'm sure he wouldn't greet the gift as very important as he doesn't believe in it anyway. He did swear to uphold it and protect it "so help his god." I think,since he swore to uphold it and hasn't, he should be arrested and tried for TREASON (and lying to the public). Also for Mass Murder and if I go on I'll run out of space. You get the point.
