Bush Unharmed After Car Breaches Security

[absolutezero]

"Bush was in his limousine ready to leave the building when the incident happened Saturday, a senior administration official said. He left the arena less than five minutes later from an exit about 40 yards from the car.

"Essentially, she was trying to locate her mother-in-law, who was attending the president's speech," said William Jenkins, the FBI (news - web sites)'s acting special agent in charge in Jackson. "

1. And America breathes again!

Have they said which "pro-Western" country this woman's children will be taken to for "interrogation?"

2. So are they calling this his "Brush with DEATH" yet?

"Our GLORIOUS Leader narrowly escaped DEATH when a car-load of crazed terra-ists crashed their car into the convention center where he had just concluded a rousing, nut-sack-swelling speech to the Party Faithful...Der Fuhrer is SAFE, Gott mit UNS!"

Just like 9/11, he crapped in his pants.

8. can someone explain

to me this curse about presidents elected-- yeah i know -
in a year ending in zero?
did they all get killed in ofice?

[Maeve]

9. No, they didn't all get killed

And since Reagan is still alive, they didn't all die. Basically, the curse was supposed to have been put on W. H. Harrison by Tecumseh (or his brother, the Prophet).
