The alarmed leaders of the Democratic Party held an emergency meeting in Washington, D.C. yesterday to discuss the continuing presidency of George W. Bush.
"I can't believe he's still there!" says Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe, "This is a complete disaster - if it keeps up much longer, people will forget what it's like to walk in the glorious sunshine of a Democratic administration."
In response, Republican Party officials released a study showing a 3% increase in sunshine in 2001 compared to 2000, although the fact that the measurements were taken in Florida has raised some skepticism. Democrats are demanding a re-measurement.
