Washington Spoof News. With the end of his second term plainly in sight, George Bush is spending more time looking at on-line job search sites, and posting his resume wherever possible.
"You'd think with the kind of experience I have that I'd be getting multiple bites from my on-line resume," said the President. "But in fact I'm getting almost nothing. I had a deal lined up to play the Baker in Luc Besson's upcoming film La File avec le Gros Ane but that fell through when Fred Thompson dropped out of the race-he ended up with the role."
"I've been in politics so long now that I can't remember what I did before. It may be that I didn't do anything. Not sure. In any case this political thing has made for a pretty good career, at least so far. Despite what people say, I've had two terms as President. Not many people can say that. I mean, even my LinkedIn profile mentions that. I invited Condi, and even people like Henry Paulson. Not many responses though. In fact I only have two contacts-John Bolton and John McCain. It's getting very frustrating."
The President disclosed that he had a job interview lined up for this week, but it fell through after JP Morgan Chase bought out Bear Stearns on Sunday. "I was playing bridge with Jimmy Cayne just last weekend and he said 'come on over on the 17th', which would have been last Monday-but then his secretary called me and canceled. No more return calls now. I don't know what happened there. If you read this Jimmy, call me ok? Or send me text for God's sake."
"It's probably just as well. I have this weird thing about revolving doors, and New York has lots of them. Laura says it's a Phobia. I don't know about that--all I know is I don't go through them. They kind of scare me."
Mr. Bush's term ends on January 20th of 2009.
