| Washington: U.S. President George W. Bush celebrated his party's decisive win in midterm elections by releasing all white prisoners currently serving time in State and Federal prisons across the country.
The release has reduced the number of prisoners currently serving time in the United States from 2 million to just 1 million and worldwide from 8 million to 7 million. "We have all made mistakes." A jubilant Bush told reporters at a press conference at the White House. "We have all snorted cocaine, carried illegal hand guns and prostituted ourselves on street corners at some time in our lives." "I think we should, therefore, learn to forgive people their digressions… as a token of my appreciation to the American public for returning my party to power I have granted a complete and final amnesty to every white person imprisoned or arrested in order to give them the chance to return to the nation's folds." The decision was met with much fanfare by relatives of the prisoners who rushed to their local prisons to greet their loved ones. "Of course all of you black prisoners deserve anything you get and can rot in Sing Sing for the rest of time for all I care." Bush told gathered reporters. "And that goes for any Hispanics, Native Americans, Latino's and Asians too." Bush concluded.  A very happy GW Bush |
