"Greatest" gets Medal of Freedom, makes Bush "statement"
« on: November 11, 2005, 11:57:27 am »

"Bush, who appeared almost playful, fastened the heavy medal around Muhammad Ali's neck and whispered something in the heavyweight champion's ear. Then, as if to say "bring it on," the president put up his dukes in a mock challenge. Ali, 63, who has Parkinson's disease and moves slowly, looked the president in the eye -- and, finger to head, did the "crazy" twirl for a couple of seconds."

He may speak and move slowly due to Parkinson's, but Ali's still the Greatest!

ARCADIAC!

He's also still quite a lot quicker than Bush.

That's pretty funny.

These past few months have really made me happy about the fact that "BUSH WON!" Where would we get moments like this? It's comedy GOLD!

I was disgusted at the outcome of the last two elections, but I live for making fun of the president (regardless of party affiliation), so I knew that at least there was tons of comedy potential.
