Bush Receives Chilly Welcome from Public and Returning Congress

Washington, DC (APE) - In a symbolic gesture that does not bode well for an embattled White House, President Bush was yesterday subjected to a spontaneous symbolic gesture in which he was doused with a Kool-Aid container by a seemingly supportive crowd of well-wishers. Many felt that this demonstrated a symbolic rejection of the rosy outlook that the White House continues to put forth in regards to the Iraq occupation, the president's failed immigration leadership, and his recent rescue of convicted perjurer and White House counsel Scooter Libby. The President and Congress return to Washington today after a fragmented Fourth of July holiday which was headlined by an incredible display of fireworks across the nation over Mr. Bush's pardoning of Libby.
