From the Onion:
Addressing guests at a $2,000-a-plate fundraiser, George W. Bush pledged Monday that, if re-elected in November, he and running mate Dick Cheney will “restore honor and dignity to the White House.”
“After years of false statements and empty promises, it’s time for big changes in Washington,” Bush said. “We need a president who will finally stand up and fight against the lies and corruption. It’s time to renew the faith the people once had in the White House. If elected, I pledge to usher in a new era of integrity inside the Oval Office.”
In an interview published in Tuesday’s Washington Post, Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign manager Ken Mehlman summarized the new platform. “Bush-Cheney 2004 is a campaign built on straight talk,” Mehlman said. “It’s time for a president who can be a role model for Americans. Bush is the man for the job. He’ll finally restore integrity to the highest office in the land. Won’t you give him a chance?”
