Bush Sells Louisiana Back to the French



BATON ROUGE, LA. – The White House announced today that President Bush has successfully sold the state of Louisiana back to the French at more than double its original selling price of $11,250,000.



The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild.



“Jack understands full well that this one’s a ‘fixer upper,’” said Bush. “He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water, and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they’ve got a lot of work to do. But Jack’s assured me, if it’s not right, they’re going to fix it.”



“This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President,” said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. “Instead of spending billions and billions, and billions of dollars rebuilding the state of Louisiana, we’ve just made 25 million dollars in pure profit.”



“This is indeed a smart move,” commented Fox News analyst Brit Hume. “Not only have we stopped the flooding in our own budget, we’ve made money on the deal. Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing it up, we can easily invade and take it back again.”



The money gained from 'The Louisiana Refund' is expected to be immediately pumped back into the rebuilding of Iraq.

Shoot, that's too bad because rumor here in Canada was that our Prime Minister was going to put down a deposit to hold it then see if we can get the financing......I think he took a look at it in the dark....best way to buy a used piece of land...lol:lol:

I can't imagine being in that area right now with all the health concerns. The mold spores and the bacteria count in the water and dirt are 300K times the normal levels. I wouldn't want to be breathing the air with all that mess.
