Crawford, Texas — A tragic flood this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The flood began in the presidential bathroom where both of the books were kept. Both of his books are now lost.
A White House spokesman said the president was devastated as he had almost finished coloring the second one.
The White House tried to call FEMA but there was no answer.
LMAO. This ‘news flash’ was sent to me via email by daughter-in-law.
Had to share it. đŸ™‚
Interesting, last time I heard the story it was a fire that destroyed his two books. Does this mean he bought two new ones and started all over?
This just made me chuckle..
Chuckling to keep from crying.

Oh, the humanity!

I’ll bet it got the pet goat book, too.
Actually I’m surprised. That’s double the number of books I thought he had.
actually, the first major distribution of this joke was via Gore Vidal on The Tonight Show. Only the president was Reagan, and it was a fire, not a flood. The clip was part of the American Masters episode about Vidal that was aired last year (or maybe in 2003?).
