(2007-08-28) — Just hours after Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that his nation was ready to fill the coming power vacuum in Iraq, U.S. President George Bush said he might “order the military to deploy one.”
“I know the Pentagon has developed a long-range strategic power vacuum,” said Mr. Bush. “I’m not sure if Iran would fill it, but if so, we could always replace the bag.”
A Pentagon spokesman declined to comment on a top-secret project the president referred to as “kind of like a Roomba on steroids.”
Mr. Bush said that filling a power vacuum would be “a suitable destiny for a man who has threatened to wipe Israel from the map.”

I would hope it doesn’t come to that…but it might just.

After he sends the “power vacuum” our President can send a few of those power washers,and really clean up that area. Give them a real “power surge”.

Speaking of power vacuums, a reward is offered for our beloved missing Electrolux™ (”Rocket Floor-Glider” model). No questions asked.
And may whoever took it be sucked into the dustbag of history.

I used to sell Rainbow™ Vacuum Cleaners once upon a time. So, I reckon that gives me permission to march in parades and so forth. I’m proud to be a veteran vacummer.
Now onto war, where is that duster extension?

“replace the bag.”
That’s the bumper sticker slogan I’m sending to Carville.
I think I would rather see the vacuum in Iran created by an atomic blast.
btw-Whatever happened to those neutron bombs?

Like Ross Perot used to say, “It’s that giant sucking sound.”
BTW Scott, is your reference to “a bag” a veiled metaphor for sHrillary of Nancy Pelosi?

Oh, oh, wouldn’t you know it, the spectre of Hooverism is raising its head during the Bush Administration.
BTW, “Angry Bear” is a left-wing whack job.

A Dying Fidel Castro Says Clinton/Obama A Winning Ticket
Hey, that ought to tell you left-wing moonbats out there something. First you’re strange bedfellows with the Islamofascists with your partisan lies about America and President Bush and now you’re on the same page as Fidel Castro! How do you do it? Oh, and we won’t ever forget, you support the
stormtroopers who are murdering and raping innocent Iraqis just like Genghis Kahn.17 Darthmeister // Aug 29, 2007 at 3:34 am
I don’t know the whole story of Senator Larry Craig and the “he said/he said” gotchya story that the liberal media is running with, but I think the following statement pretty well sums it up: “There’s more inappropriate airport behavior in the security pat down line.”
Yep, nothing makes me more angry than to see military-aged Arabs praising Allah shashaying through security lines because of some PC anti-profiling idiocy while my wife is getting felt-up by some overly zealous security agent.

Well, he’s just dirt bag enough to try.
