Jerusalem lights to go out so Bush can enjoy sunrise
Lights in the Old City of Jerusalem will be turned off before dawn this week so visiting US President George W. Bush can get a better view of the sun rising over its ancient walls.

Bush, who arrives in the Middle East on Wednesday for a visit lasting more than a week, had made a request to watch the sun rise over the Old City from his suite at the King David Hotel, a municipal spokesman said on Tuesday.

To make the scene more dramatic, the authorities have decided to turn off the lights illuminating the limestone walls before dawn on Thursday and Friday, the spokesman told reporters.

2. Why? That's OUR job, not their job.
But what an utter pig he is to allow them to do it.

7. President Catherine the Great on tour.
I'll bet Shrub thinks the whole world smells of wet paint, because wherever he goes, there's some poor slob painting the walls in front of him. Also, a smarter man would have noticed by now that the crowds of adoring "peasants" always seem to be the same people, no matter where he goes.

8. Spin is key
They should have said they were turning them off to "save energy."

11. It only feeds his self-inflated ego. He doesn't appreciate the gesture.
