President Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French!

BATON ROUGE, LA. - The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.

"This is a bold step forward for America," said Bush. "And America will be stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity with French Prime Minister Jack Sharaq, who was so kind to accept my offer of Louisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."

The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.

"Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush. "He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lot of work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're going to fix it."

The move has been met with incredulity from the beleaguered residents of Louisiana.

However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded by Republicans.

"This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. "Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we've just made 25 million dollars in pure profit."

"This is indeed a smart move," commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. "Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we've made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again."

The money gained from 'The Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped into the rebuilding of Iraq.

Is America in such dire need of funds to finance the war in Iraq? I thought the economy was doing well. Odd...

It's called humor, you know, you're suppose to laugh, like you do when you look in the mirror

These kinds of "press releases" are funny.

Here's the gub'mints real plan: sell Louisiana back to the French. Then the French rebuilt New Orleans and the surrounding area to resemble Paris except without those annoying Peugeots and Citroëns. Then, once everything is fixed up, the US sends a few boy scout troops to invade, the French surrender, we give them back the US$25 million (minus any interest, of course) and *voilà* the Big Easy is back in business.

But that would put Halliburton out of business, at least in Louisiana!

Oh it doesn't matter. This country's politicians don't care bout us anyway. Good sell. Louisiana will be underwater from coastal erosion by 2050 anyway.
