ORWELL COULD HAVE A CASE AGAINST BUSH

Presidential pronouncements may too-closely reflect a familiar literary style

Lawyers for the estate of George Orwell have announced their intention to sue President Bush for plagiarism.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan, while refusing to comment directly because of the "ongoing investigation," reminded reporters that the Patriot Act had given the president the power to suspend copyright laws and, anyway, "No one can own words."

"Personally, I think this so-called intelligentsia is just jealous," said Newt Gingrich. "Orwell could have only dreamed of great terms like 'defeatist' and 'evil-doer.'"

Bush's Radio address on December 17 ended with:
This authorization is a vital tool in our war against the terrorists. It is critical to saving American lives. The American people expect me to do everything in my power under our laws and Constitution to protect them and their civil liberties. And that is exactly what I will continue to do, so long as I'm the president of the United States.

Thank you.

Your article quoted him as saying:
9/11 has made us look at our plagiarism in a different way. As long as I am president or king, the American people expect me to do everything in my power under our laws and Constitution to protect them and their civil liberties. And if that takes dissolving the Constitution, then so be it.

Now I fucking hate Bush. I think he sucks... but misquoting him and proudly pointing that kinda stuff out only feeds the conservatives who think all liberals are liars and crazy people. You're smarter than that. Don't believe every Conspiracy Theory "newspaper" you find.

I didn't take it as conspiracy, I took it as satire, paraody.

Relax, it's a joke.

Dude, I'm as liberal as they come... but that's complete horse shit.

It's also a J-O-K-E. :)

Well thank god.

You've posted some pretty wacky shit, so I was wondering there....

Hehe, even the tags for that entry were 'funny' & 'politics' :) I like to post my satire news articles with the same formatting as my serious ones, because hell, they might as well be true :P

Hey, he introduced "nefarious" to the common vocabulary.

"Nefarious evil-doers."

I'm going to start a kick-ball team and call it that.

I'm going to put it on a shirt. Or tattoo it on my penis ;)
