MONUMENT FOR GEORGE W. BUSH
Dear Friends:
I have the distinguished honor of being on the
committee to raise $5,000,000 for a monument of George
W. Bush. We originally wanted to put him on Mt.Rushmore
until we discovered there was not enough room
for two more faces.
We then decided to erect a statue of George W in the
Washington , D.C. Hall Of Fame. We were in a quandary
as to where the statue should be placed. It was not
proper to place it beside the statue of George
Washington, who never told a lie, or beside Richard
Nixon, who never told the truth, since George W could
never tell the difference.
We finally decided to place it beside Christopher
Columbus, the greatest Republican of them all. He
didn't know where he was going, and when he got there
he did not know where he was. He returned not knowing
where he had been, destroyed the well-being of the
majority of the population while he was there, and did
it all on someone else's money.
Thank you.
George W. Bush Monument Committee
(so far we have collected $1.35)
段落１のtwo more facesは two-facedというフレーズをベースに
している。リンカーン大統領は two-facedであると非難されたとき
仮にそうだとしたらこの顔を使うと思うかね？と切り返している。
