Bush said on CNN a few minutes ago..."We need to fix the medicare
system so that it pays for the drugs seniors need "BEFORE" they get sick. Which drug is that? Maybe he intends to legalize pot and have medicare pay for it.

Beam me up Scotty!

10. I think he meant "fix" it the way you get a dog fixed
By cutting off its balls and rendering it impotent

11. Absolutely right....
If Bush is talking about "Fixing" something, it means either destroying it or privatizing it.

Seniors need to be worried about this..

5. I lost my Bush-English / English-Bush Dictionary
WTF could he possibly be referring to? Preventative medicine? I'm all for that, but for some reason I don't think that's what he meant.

Is this his new preemptive doctrine in a war on sickness?

6. What drug is he talking about??
Cyanide tablets? No doubt he'd euthanize them all if he had his way.

The nightmare never ends.....:mad:
