Relax, Infidels: Donna Shalala Is Back in Government!

Satire by John W. Lillpop

Any lingering doubts about George W. Bush's descent into early Alzheimer's were erased on Tuesday. Once and for all.

Bush saw to that when he allowed Donna Shalala to weasel her way back onto the government payroll as co-chair of the panel looking into the crisis at the Walter Reed Army Medical center.

Shalala, who looks like an 80s-something great-great- grandmother, will share honors with former senator Bob Dole, whose latest claim to fame is selling little blue pills to relieve erectile dysfunction.

Just what our troops need! A mean-spirited feminist and a dithering old man who is out of it when it comes to the most important game in life.

Just to show how concerned he is about the Walter Reed problem and his confidence in Shalala and Dole, the president did what any normal person would: He got out of town as quickly as possible by fleeing to Latin America.

While in Latin America, the president plans to promote democracy as the most civil and moral form of government possible. Insiders tell us that Bush does not plan to drag out Iraq as a model of the Bush Doctrine in the middle east.

As Bush Sr. would say, "Wouldn't be prudent."

Insiders also tell us that this trip gives Bush an excellent opportunity to hone his Spanish skills. Those skills will be crucial later this year when Bush formally surrenders to Mexico and turns over control of America to the 30 million illegal aliens currently occupying this once great land.

Bravo, Bushbo!
