Bush's plan T: Nascar fans

"It's great to get out of Washington, believe me," he said. Good. Better start gettin' used to the idea, 'cause that wish'll be granted come November, cowboy!

Forget the communities affected by unempoyment, lack of health care, inadequate housing, poverty, hunger, and all-around social injustice. Bush pulls his latest stunt: Air Force One made its majestic descent over the NASCAR racetracks.

This time around, the Air Force pilot jumpsuit was replaced by a black Daytona 500 windbreaker, a minor adjustment from Commander'n'Chief to Driver'n'Chief.

He was greeted by a largely adoring crowd who see in him the values they hold dear: religion, family and country -- also occasionally referred to as G-d, guns and beer.

The White House described Bush's overnight trip to Florida as nonpolitical, meaning that taxpayers -- not Bush's re-election campaign -- will pick up the tab.

"It's great to get out of Washington, believe me," he said. Good. Better start gettin' used to the idea, 'cause that wish'll be granted come November, cowboy!

"Laura and I are honored to be here for this fantastic spectacle," Bush told the crowd, wich had fallen silent for the national anthem. "We ask God's blessings on the drivers, NASCAR fans and on our great nation. Now, it is my honor to start this race. Gentlemen, start your engines."

Next stop? The World Wrestling Fedaration? Stay tuned...........
