 Andy Borowitz: Bush’s New Year’s ResolutionsPosted on Dec 28, 2006In an unprecedented televised address to the nation last night, President George W. Bush announced a list of his New Year’s resolutions for 2007, telling the American people, “I am a big believer in abiding by resolutions, as long as they don’t come from the United Nations.” The following is a list of the president’s New Year’s resolutions: “I resolve to pay close attention to the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group’s report, as soon as it comes out on a books-on-tape version.” “I resolve to make sure that by the end of 2007, Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki gets to spend more time with his family.” “I resolve to tell John Kerry that I thought his joke was hilarious and he should keep ‘em coming.” Advertisement “I resolve to invite Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to a peacemaking lunch at Taco Bell.” “I resolve to organize a hunting trip for Dick Cheney and Nancy Pelosi.” “I resolve to expand the search for Osama bin Laden to include MySpace.” “I resolve to clear all of the brush at my Crawford ranch, except for that patch I use to hide from Cindy Sheehan.” “I resolve to continue my opposition to gay parents, unless one of them is named Cheney.” “I resolve to improve relations with Latin America by building a 700-foot fence around Barb and Jen.” “And, finally, my fellow Americans, I resolve to announce an exit strategy, in which I will withdraw all of our troops from Iraq—through Iran.” Award-winning humorist, television personality and film actor Andy Borowitz is author of the new book, “The Republican Playbook.” To find out more about Borowitz and read his past columns, visit the Creators Syndicate Web page at www.creators.com.

“Why is everyone so hard on Dick Cheney? So he shot a lawyer - who among us hasnt wanted to do that?”
Wayne,
Report thisToo bad Cheney is not an attorney, because if he shot himself he would kill two crummy birds with one rifle.

Very funny—as always, Andy Borowitz!
Unfortunately, being the raggedy-assed evangelical Christian he is, Bush doesn’t believe in the efficacy of resolutions. As Bush has indicated in several speeches and interviews, the fate of the world lies in the hands of God.

I resolve that I will not take marksmanship lessons from Cheney, if Im not sober.
And most of all, I resolve to get Botox injections or a mini lift; six years in the White House really took a toll on my punim.

There’s absolutely no new year resolutions for GWB. During his long rule of dominance every year resolutions have been flushed down to TOILET !
A big big FART when he’s saying 2007 resolutions.
Nobody believes in him and his dynasty.

The amazing thing is that we as a nation continue to keep this immoral religious zealot in office. Our imploding reputation amongst the world has reached an eternal low. The .99 cent education he exemplifies from his inane remarks never cease to astound the astute, enraptured audience of uneducated and apathetic americans. We are proactively protecting ourselves from terrorists? Really…..
Report thisWhen, as a country are we going to realize that the true terrorism is fostered in all of our illegimate war profiteering machine that is the White House. Let us stop the charade, swallow our enigmatic, misplaced pride and begin to heal our lost country. STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
