Bush Names Smokey (the Bear) Special Envoy to France
Broken Newz ^ | 11/9/05 | Shelby Trial

Posted on 11/09/2005 5:13:28 AM PST by pookie18

Jumping at the chance to show that all that French opposition to the Iran War was water under the bridge President Bush promised to help France with its youth riots by naming Smokey (the Bear) as special envoy to France. "We're gonna send out dear friend Smokey over there to help France with their fires. We also have McGruff (the crime dog) and 50,000 'Don't mess with Texas' bumper stickers ready to go on a moments notice", Bush said. Reporters asked Bush if he felt the riots posed a threat to the Chirac government. Bush wryly replied, "Does Smokey poop in woods". Meanwhile, French President Chirac plans to lead a delegation to the United Nations to have Italy withdraw its offer to help France combat the Muslim youths. An outraged Chirac said, "I have got enough problems, now I am going get Italian troops. What are we trying to do, appeal to their sense of humor? We need beaucoup money to rebuild these areas". The International Red Cross reports that donations for France were trickling in and then they just stopped all together.

In reports reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina, cable news outlets reported seeing thousands of homeless in the riot torn areas, undrinkable water, and a repulsive stench permeating the area. They later retracted those statements saying they forgot they were in France. A report that the fires were doing millions of Euros of improvements was thought to be a cruel joke. Meanwhile, Al Jeezera said France was falsely accusing Muslim youths for the fires and instead reported the U.S. was to blame for the fires.

The song goes;

Smokey the Bear,

Smokey the Bear,

Howlin and growlin and sniffing the air,

He can spot a fire before it starts to flame,

Thats why they call him Smokey Bear,

Thats how he got his name.

Great stuff..but to be accurate, the article should have mentioned the indictment of Lewis Libby..I know it has nothing to do with the story..but that hasn't stopped the MSM either..

The President should nominate Denny Crane to be Ambassador to France. Denny would enjoy the food, wine, French chicks, lack of sexual harassment laws, and he'd totally offend the French.

The Internationale Red Crescent has responded to requests for aid by sending 20,000 car bomb kits. ASCAP has responded with five onion rings, four calling cards, three French toast, two turtlenecks, and a Partridge Family CD.

I wish I could find that Farside cartoon with Smokey with his birthday cake with trees as the birthday candles.

Why not send Smokey Robinson to sing "The Tears of a Clown" to Chirac?

His real name is Smokey Bear (not Smokey the Bear; that confusion was caused by the rhyming in the song) and he has his own ZIP code 20252. His original name was Hotfoot Teddy.

It is Smokey Bear.

Here's some background.

On a side note, the Smokey Bear hot air balloon that crashed into the 770 KOB radio tower last year during Balloon Fiesta has been replaced. The new balloon was spotted during the mass ascensions this year.
