"Jury Duty?!?...I'll See That Quimby Kid Hang For This!!!"

How'd you like to be, as so often happens on television, accused of a crime you didn't commit? Then, how'd you like to look up at the jury box and see this guy?



I'd be a little uneasy...he seems like a "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" kinda guy.

Yep, Bush has been selected for jury duty. Luckily for whoever the accused are in McLennan County, Texas, Dubya is, of course, above the law, and not subject to bothersome civic duties (case in point, Presidency of George W. Bush).

Interestingly enough, loser of the Presidency, John F. Kerry, was also tapped for jury duty recently. The only difference was that he, unlike Dubya, didn't shirk his duty...hmmmm, are you seeing a pattern here? Kerry was even elected foreman...finally a Democrat wins something! Way to be, Kerry!

Even though we all know from Faux News that all Democrats are unreasonable, sue-happy bastards, he rejected the plaintiff's charge that the city was responsible for an accident a high school principal was involved in. Fellow jurist Cynthia Lovell, a registered Republican, had this to say of Kerry: "I just found him to be a knowledgable, normal person. He kept us focused. He wanted us all to have our say." She went on to say she regretted voting for Bush instead of Kerry.

I wonder what Bush's fellow jurists would have to say about him after he lost the foreman election but then promised the judge a high profile appointment in exchange for overturning the decision...but I guess we'll never know...but I'm sure we can imagine.

  • I was imagining 12 Angry Men with him in the cast - maybe as Juror #3 or #7? I think in that version they would use the knife to actually stab him to death. Then they would all conspire to tell everyone that he actually committed suicide. Or maybe that Al Qaeda did it.

  • He'd probably put on a pair of those glasses like Homer wore and be thinking "Meow, meow, meow, meow", the whole time.

  • By the end of the first week, he'd have cute nicknames for all the people in court, like

    "Hey Judgy!"

    Because he likes nicknames. A lot.

  • Did you see in the Whitehouse press briefing the brave reporter ask if Al Gonzales was going to get him out of jury duty this time?

    Remember, Bush was selected previously selected for a jury for DUI, where he would've had to answer the question, "have you ever," and Al Gonzales got him out of it on some pretty shaky lawyering.
