Just Don't Leave

BAGHDAD, Iraq (DF)

During a weekend break of the committee drafting the new Iraqi constitution, George Bush made a surprise recess appointment for the Alabama state constitution to fill the role. The president from his perch atop a mountain bike said, "I figure if it is good enough for one batch of gun-totin' religious extremists it oughta be good for another." When reminded that his recess appointment power didn't extend to Iraq or to constitutions for that matter he replied, "Talk to the Marines, cause the pres don't wanna hear it. I've got to get on with my life and with my bike ride."
