Bush Book Celebrates Handicap Humor

(FiniteTimes.com) – Apparently it wasn’t the cat that got out of the sack when President Bush made fun of visually-impaired journalist Peter Wallsten at a recent Rose Garden press conference.

“I kinda let the colonoscopy out of the bag there,” Bush chuckled at a party to announce the publication of his latest book, “Cripple Quips: The Really Funny Humor of George W. Bush.”

“The president was trying out new material for the second volume of his ‘Cripple Quips’ series,” said Press Secretary Tony Snow on Monday. “And for those who feel it is inappropriate, get over it. So the man lost two eyes, big deal. Two… it’s just a number.”

Literary analysts note that it is not the president’s first plunge into the world of publishing; 1994’s “Belching the Alphabet” did moderately well. Most concede that it is a rather bold move for a sitting president, though.

“When he addresses the Morissey School for the Deaf and starts shouting, ‘I know you folks are deaf, but my lips can’t move any louder,’ or tells John McCain that the two of them could really clean up in a three-legged race, is that wise?” asks Temple University English Professor Daniel Stoddard.

Tourette’s sufferer Ted Lansford, who made it into the book after Bush assumed he was a heckler and started hurling obscenities back at him, thinks he knows the reason for the book’s publication.

“I think people hear Bush – cocksuckertbuttlapper! – say these things and remember similar things that they’ve done in their own lives,” says Lansford. “They can sympathize with Bush – shitshitshit! – and see him as more human – shit!”

“Cripple Quips: The Really Funny Humor of George W. Bush” goes on sale July 4.
