Humor – Breaking a 211-year media silence, retired Army Gen. George Washington appeared on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday to speak out against many aspects of the way the Iraq war has been waged.
I liked this story even though The Onion has it slightly wrong. George Washington did not break a 211 year media silence as evidenced by the recently discovered Roosevelt Papers. This was Washington's dissertation about FDR and how he abused the unwritten rule that was written by Washington himself - No man shall serve more than two terms as President of these United States. Washington further explained: "We created this country to flee the dictatorial abuse that any king eventually embraces. This FDR fellow, in a time of war, has taken advantage of the poor, downtrodden and huddled masses to form a less perfect union. He has promoted a socialist ideal and fear itself is his weapon. If he lives through this fourth term, I anticipate that he will win a fifth term by showing everyone what is really under that blanket on his lap."
Wow Onion almost got the whole story ...but there is more - the Delaware River Swift Boat Veterans Assoc is challenging Washington's self promotion in that he had an artist at Trenton over glamorize his ferry trip. Further more, Dick Cheney threatened to challenge him to a duel, But GW said he would not take a chance on Dead Eye Dick shooting Martha
Washington gave a battlefield speech specifically condemning torture as something Americans shouldn't do.
Bush changed the laws, to torture American citizens for suspicion.
Washington would pistol-whip Bush in a heartbeat.
Where's "Samantha Stevens" when you need her to conjure up George Washington again?

without the onion, we would have missed this great event: cnn and its siblings decided it wasn't newsworthy.
all praise to the onion!
