from Huffington Post by Andy Borowitz



President George W. Bush commented on Sen. Hillary Clinton's controversial "red phone" campaign ads at the White House today, telling reporters, "When that red phone rings, I just let it go straight to voicemail."

Mr. Bush rarely comments about the Democratic presidential contest, but he said that he had to speak up about Sen. Clinton's red phone ads because he found them "so confusing."

"If I answered the red phone every time it rang, I would never get any sleep," Mr. Bush said. "Sometimes it starts ringing at 9 PM, and I am already tucked in by then."

Elsewhere, Sen. John McCain released a new series of campaign ads, showing him answering a telegraph key at 3 A.M.

My comment:

Hey, McCain is probably the best choice to answer the phone at three in the morning. Hell, he's an old man (so am I) and we're noted for having insomnia. McCain would most likely be the only one awake at three in the morning ... probably trying to pee if experience is any measure.
