The sad thing is...
I could honestly see our President and head of Homeland Security
saying something like this. ------- In the wake of the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, President Obama, in a news conference from the Pacific White House in Hawaii, on Monday cautioned Americans to avoid "lashing out against folks in puffy underpants." Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, the son of a wealthy Nigerian banker, faces charges of attempting to destroy an airliner by detonating a high explosive sewn into what the FBI described as "boxers or briefs .... but clearly not adult incontinence undergarments." "Our future as a nation depends on how we react to this incident," the president said. "If we start profiling people based on the mere appearance of their slacks, a lot of incontinent adults as well as infants and toddlers will be swept up in the discriminatory backlash. Civil rights and social justice must take precedence over our parochial concerns about fire, explosions, crashes and the potential of physical harm resulting from such events." Standing side by side with the chairman of the Council of Adult Incontinence Relations, Obama noted that some of his own relatives had worn absorbent underwear, and "none of them ever attempted to down a jet." "We cannot let this isolated incident spark hate against a people who, by and large, want nothing more than to be left alone," the president said. "The greatest threat we face is a failure of tolerance. We will not allow a few bad apples change who we are as Americans." Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced new security measures for airports, including a requirement that passengers "dispense with belts, allowing their trousers to sag in a manner that would reveal any potential undergarment threat." "Sagging is still quite fashionable among America's youth," Napolitano said, "and so we believe that these new measures will not cause significant inconvenience to the traveling public. Every airline passenger will submit to this security protocol to prevent it from being discriminatory against any minority group." ----- From Scott Ott - ScrappleFace.com |

The worst terrorist attack in US history occurred on the watch of George W. Bush and Dicque Cheney, a fact which makes Cheney's remarks on terrorism these days nothing more than laughable. |

Hey, Cheney is so out of the mainstream, I hope he keeps it up. Every time he opens his mouth, it's worth a couple more votes for Obama. |
