Playing politics with Charley

Satire
President Bush declared the state of Florida a disaster area yesterday, in the wake of Hurricane Charley and its 145 MPH winds. "Our resolve is clear," said the President. "This is an important piece of the War on Terror and we will not give in terrorists weather. My opponent will tell you that Charley is merely a 'hurricane,' but I would ask that opponent now if he would declare a disaster area following the destruction of Charley."

Upon hearing the remarks of President Bush, Senator Kerry said, "With the amount of destruction caused by Charley, I would have to say that, yes, I would declare Florida a disaster area and as President of the United States, I would take the steps to insure that Charley never happens again."

"I knew he would agree with me," the President later said.
