bush desecrates the flag with a sharpie
Write Out Loud!

Sanford, a division of Newell Rubbermaid, maker of the Sharpie™ permanent marker has stepped forward to take the heat for Bush's recent flag desecration. Pictured to the right you can see Bush using a Sharpie™ to pen his signature over the stars and bars in a display of supreme arrogance.

A spokesman for Sharpie™, Harry Tuttle, told morons.org, "we should have known when Bush's aides were buying Sharpie™ permanent markers before a stop where small American Flags might be found that he might be mislead by their ability to mark on most any surface and apply that knowledge inappropriately." Tuttle revealed that an incident with a Sharpie™ was narrowly avoided back in October in which Bush was about to draw a mustache and beard on George Washington's face on a dollar bill.

Some Congressional Democrats demanded to know why, although Bush was told in October that Sharpies™ shouldn't be used to deface American money, he used a Sharpie™ this week to deface an American flag. The White House had no comment.

Tuttle continued, "in the future, all Sharpie™ products will warn the user that Sharpies™ are not intended to be used to desecrate the American flag. We apologize that President Bush did not receive correct information."

Bush accepted the apology of Sanford, and told the media that Sharpies™ are "darn good," insisting that he had "complete faith" in their ability to mark on almost any surface. Bush also said that he would not ask for another brand of permanent marker to replace Sharpies™ for his autographing needs.
