Feeling lucky?

Heh.

BetCRIS.com, the oldest established offshore sportsbook, has taken www.gambling911.com up on its dare to post "President Bush drinking odds." This after The National Enquire published its story of how President Bush reportedly has fallen off the wagon in wake of Hurricane Katrina. [...]

Bush exposed for drinking alcohol during his presidency is featured with odds of 5 to 1. Compare that with 15 to 1 odds that Bush actually admits to drinking alcohol. Bush checking into a rehab program is listed with 40 to 1 odds. Bush becoming a preacher is listed with 2 to 1 odds. Bush converting to Judaism is posted with 300 to 1 odds. Bush becoming a Muslim is posted with 500 to 1 odds.

"Political wagers are among the most popular at Gambling911.com," stated Payton O'Brien, Web Manager for Gambling911. "Anything Bush-related is going to draw hordes of gamblers. Interesting enough one of the few odds BetCRIS.com has chosen not to post is whether George W. gets impeached." Bush becomes a spokesman for Viagra/Cialis is listed with 35 to 1 odds, incidentally.

What? No odds for Zoroastrianism? Spontaneously combusting? Mitotic division? As for the drinking story, what he said.

You could do bets on whether Bush could even define Zoroastrianism or miotic division.

Much too long of odds on that last one. How about a bet on how many syllables he would put in "Zoroastrianism"? Do you think that anybody ever told him that he is not head of something called a "gov-ment"?

"Zorroastrer? You mean that fruity guy with the sword and the blindfold got himself a religion?"

Political wagers are fun. Political betting is definitely on the rise. And though it isn't exactly popular in America as it is in other parts of the world, political props are beginning to pop up more and more each day. As far, as President Bush goes, I have only this comment. He is our President and we may disagree with some of the things he does but we should at the very least respect him as our President.
