President Bush urges Kerry to "help the good people of Florida"
Satire
After touring Florida to witness the devastation caused by Hurricane Charley, President Bush called on Democratic Presidential nominee, Senator John Kerry, to "provide disaster relief for the good people of Florida." The President went on to take notice that Kerry had not yet promised disaster funding to Florida: "my opponent is afraid to see the world as it really is. This is clearly a disaster area."
Kerry issued an immediate response: "We are trying to take the high road in this campaign. Calling Florida a disaster area even in the wake of something as tragically unavoidable as that weather phenomenon known as a hurricane that grows from a tropical storm, then back into a tropical storm, and then into a series of rain showers, would be to denigrate the people of Florida in a time when their spirits need to be uplifted. Besides, as for the matter of disaster funding, I am powerless to approve such fiduciary commitments until I am elected president, and then go through the nomination process."
This evening the Bush campaign will launch an ad campaign based on Kerry's admission that he is "powerless."
