Bush Meets St. Peter

By NICHOLAS D. KRISTOF
Published: December 11, 2005

If a meteorite crashed down on the White House today, the conversation at the Pearly Gates might go something like this.



Bush
"Well, St. Peter, you know I'm a born-again Christian. I pray every day. I'm very religious. I brought Bible study classes to the White House."

St Peter
--"That's terrific. And have you helped any lepers lately?"

Bush
"Not exactly. But my cuts in the top tax rates will create wealth that will trickle down and help lepers. I'm getting there indirectly, instead of barging through the eye of a needle."

St Peter
--"Hmm."


Bush
"St. Peter, you don't mean to say - how do I ask this? Jesus isn't ... isn't a Democrat, is he?"

St Peter
--"No, no. He's nonpartisan. His gripe isn't with conservatives or liberals; it's with blowhards.

"Up here, we just pray that Christmas could be more than cards, trees and greetings. Jesus is so upset that he's talking of suing the blowhards to regain control of Christmas."

1. WWJD? not do what BUSH does

I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you gave me clothing,
I was sick and you took care of me,
I was in prison and you visited me.

2. WWBD? (What would bush do)

I was hungry and you told me I'm too lazy to work.
I was thirsty and you told me to drink the poisoned water.
I was a stranger and you told me I was worthless because I had no connections.
I was naked and you told me to rummage in your dumpster for your old rags.
I was sick and you told me to please go ahead and die because you won't pay for my meds.
I was in prison and you left me to rot while your criminal cronies led luxurious lives.
