Bush Orders Feeding Tube Re-Inserted into Vegetable
Author: Strangely Defensive, President Denounces Stereotypes of 'Brain Dead'
WASHINGTON (GWB) --
President Bush issued an executive order today requiring that a permanently
comatose woman be re-attached to life support, rather than allow her family to
decide to let her die.
Bush, angered by the family's call for a "death with dignity," insisted that
brain death was no reason to play God and tamper with the preciousness of life.
"It's easy to misunderestimate someone as brain dead," said the President, "it
happens to me all the time. But that doesn't mean life isn't worth living."
He then stormed off to board a helicopter to Camp David, narrowly averting
walking into the rotating blades thanks to a timely tackle by a shrieking White
House aide.
Picking himself up off the ground, Bush added that vegetables are a good source
of roughage and that his mother always insisted he "feed his vegetables."
