Airport Shooting Part of Bush Mental Health Cuts

Democrats in Congress today suggested that yesterday’s Federal Air Marshall shooting of a mentally ill man, who claimed to have a bomb on an airplane, could be part of a larger Bush administration strategy to reduce federal spending on mental health programs.

“We’re not publicly saying that Bush is killing off bipolar people to purify the American gene pool and improve the race,” said one unnamed Senate Democrat. “But at a time when mental health agencies are being told to tighten their belts, one can’t help but wonder if that man in Miami died so that the Bush-Cheney cabal and their wealthy cronies can keep their tax cuts.”

Democrats plan to introduce a bill next week that would require Federal Air Marshalls to perform a comprehensive mental health screening on prospective human targets. They’ll also propose an amendment to the public school gun-free zone law that would surround all American airports, and planes in flight, with a 1,000-foot “gun-free circle of safety.”

If the Dimwits did this (I know it is satire), that would probably include stripping USAF jets too. They couldn't be safe flying military missions if equipped with weapons.

I know it is satire.... but what is satire today is a main plank of Liberal 'thought' tomorrow.

It has now been reported that the man shot had definitive proof of the authenticity of Dan Rather's Air Guard memos, as well as the whereabouts of photos of Carl Rove loading Vince Foster's body into the trunk of Dick Cheney's car.
