Looks like Bush is stuck on a lot of things these days and he got stuck in the water. Well, at least the Secret Service was able to bail him out of this one. :D

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — President Bush's presidency is stuck in low gear. On Sunday, his fishing boat was stuck on stop.
Fellow Republicans may not be rushing to rescue his legislative agenda, but the Secret Service bailed Bush out of a jam when his boat anchor got wedged in rocks along the Atlantic Coast.
Relaxing before his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the president went fishing with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, and daughter, Barbara.
They dropped the anchor to fish less than 100 feet from shore at Biddleford, Maine, but when they decided to leave, they couldn't, according to an Associated Press photographer who took pictures of the incident.
A fishing guide along on the trip tried unsuccessfully to pull up the heavy anchor.
Bush yanked hard too, but couldn't dislodge it either.
Soon after, a member of the president's security detail called divers aboard a Secret Service boat that had been following behind.

This was clearly a terrorist plot.

Good catch, even the editors didn't catch it. :eek:

Wait a second...I thought Barbara was Bush's wife, not daughter.

DO NOT SPEAK OF IT.

DO NOT SPEAK OF IT.

Oh, is it one of those really odd stories about being both your own mother and daughter?

Time machines, gremlins and a hunk of cheddar cheese were involved, yes.

Barbara is Bush, Sr.'s wife. Laura is Bush's wife. Barbara is also one of Bush's daughters. Feel free to ignore this explanation if it ignores your fun.

A long time ago, during Bush I's presidency, I read a long rambling rant handwritten, photocopied, and pasted on the side of a sidewalk construction thingy that explained, among other things, that Bush had been kidnapped by aliens from the planet yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (seriously, I'm not making this up).

This happened on a fishing trip in Beddeford, Maine.

The real Bush was replaced with an alien clone.

Now, of course at the time I thought that this was merely a bunch of yammering of a total psychotic (or someone well on his way to founding a religion, depending on how many people donated to him...), but now it seems that he was on to something, and that the yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaians have come to claim the son, finally. Or return the real dad, one of the two.

Really, I'm not making it up about seeing the manifesto thing. I spent a good two hours reading it, it spanned two blocks.

This was clearly a terrorist plot.

Agreed.
