Jeb Thanks NRA, Bowling Team for Bro's Victory

(2003-04-28) -- Florida Governor Jeb Bush yesterday thanked the National Rifle Association (NRA) for helping to put his brother, George, in the White House. Later that same afternoon, the Governor gave the same speech to the "Pin Busters" bowling team at nearby Bedrock Lanes.

"Were it not for your active involvement, it's safe to say my brother would not be president of the United States," the younger Bush said to both the NRA and the bowling squad.

The Pin Busters, who interrupted the fourth frame of the second game to listen to the Governor's remarks, say they all voted for President Bush even though going to the polls forced them to rush preparations for League Night on that November day in 2000.

"It was a close one," said Barney Reubel, a former autoworker who regularly scores over 220. "Just goes to show you that every vote counts."

Asked to comment, Michael Moore said "See, guns and bowling go together like my pie-hole and, well, pretty much anything edible on the planet."

See! I told you that it wouldn't matter that the dimocrats blocked all those votes cast by our brave people serving in the military.
Every dimocrat knows that you can't let the armed forces votes count and expect to win an election.
Besides, you can always say that the election was stolen from you if you lose, right?
I'm personally very proud of each and every bowler who sacrificed and managed to cast their vote in spite of the obvious non-bowling slant of the ballot and the fact that it relied entirely on non-bowling terminology in it's language.
Also the fact that NRA members were able to overcome exactly the same obstacles as the bowlers did in order to exercise their American right to vote is a testament to the average NRA member's tenacity and ability to adapt to difficult and rapidly changing situations as they arise.
Thank God that both groups mentioned weren't exclusively dimocrat and thereby reliant on a liberal to make their decisions for them, drive them to the polls and help them punch out those darn pesky holes.
Is this a great country or what?
Thanks Scott!

"Bowling balls don't kill people, bowlings pins kill people."

"It's the pins, stupid!"

Just doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

"You can have my balls when they pry them from my cold dead fingers!"

ummm....that doesn't sound quite right.

One bowler was heard to say, "I once shot a 300!", to which an N.R.A. member retorted, "That ain't nothing, I shot 420 V.C. during T.E.T.!"
