Because I have a small business I get these calls every now and then. They even sent me a picture of W once which makes a really nice dartboard. I had to tell the woman on the phone that I'd really rather see the President impeached than have dinner with him but thanks for asking.


<edit> forgot to ad :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

1. How much did they want for them?
Last I heard, the going rate for a Bush dinner was $2000.

But I won't enjoy it. And they'd have to pay me in cash. I know our country is in debt. No checks.

4. I assume they weren't FREE, eh?
Would you have to pony up 10 grand to be in the same room for a rubber hot dog?

Hell, we might be heading out to the mainland soon, *I*d go with you.. be hard to keep a straight face, but what a chance to SHOW YOUR ASS!!

"Mr President, I'd like to ASS you a Question.."

Ala Ace Ventura :)

6. I'm pretty sure that would get me a sniper's bullet
Not necessarily somewhere fatal but somewhere really painful.

8. Well then
counting Bush, there would be at least THREE A-Holes in the room.. the one you were born with, the new one installed by the Regime Darth Vaders, and of course the one at the Podium :)

yeah, some things you just don't go near.. toxic nuke dumps, crack houses, Bush..

12. Shoulda gone onto Freeptardland
and cried that you couldn't attend . . . so you wanted to put the tickets up on e-bay . . . but be careful, them's sneaky . . . they'll send you a fake cashiers' check . . . for the amount over your asking price, and ask you to send the diff . . .
