NEWSFLASH:
BUSH PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY DESTROYED BY FLOOD
Crawford, Texas– A tragic flood this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The flood began in the presidential bathroom where the books were kept. Both of his books have been lost.
A presidential 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.
