Bush thrilled about hurricane season

Now that the National Weather Service has announced “full on hurricane season,” White House sources say President George W. Bush is “like a kid in a candy store.”

Bush is reported to consider the storm season the equivalent of building sand castles on the beach and then letting the waves wash them away. Sources also say it affords the President an opportunity to become reclusive at his Texas ranch, far from the destruction of both property and lives, where he can “imagine’ that all the destruction is fictional and he doesn’t REALLY have to do anything.

“Besides,” one beltway insider said, “he’s all caught up in Jenna’s wedding plans. They say he’s planning a bachelor party like the ones back in the ‘Bama Air Guard.”

Others report a prayer breakfast is also planned after the bachelor party.

White House Press Secretary Tony Snow confirmed that if Bush isn’t in Crawford, Texas, when a big hurricane hits, it’s likely he will be at Kennebunkport, boating and playing golf. Snow assured reporters that the President is never far from Air Force One, and would be able to “fly over the devastated area two or three days after the all clear is sounded; to show his concern and assess the damage.”
