May 19, 2003 Yale Men Where Louie Dwells by STEW ALBERT Dubya's graduating class at Yale is having its 35 anniversary at the White House. New Haven is not a secured city. He might confront Americans. If a C student can't journey to Yale Yale will come to a C student especially at the White House. When will America realize Bush really is that hapless homework borrowing buffoon they used to see on Saturday Night Live. How many Top Gun landings on warships turned to political props. How many countries destroyed? His mind is managed because he doesn't have one a creature of pure instinct he knows who will pay for his next drink. He is less than C as President. Iraq perhaps is a thank you to Al Queda for the gift of 9/11. Saudi Arabia, Morocco and Palestine? The Bin Ladens are amuck with joy. The dollar keeps falling what foreigner would want to invest in Bush anyway? But boola boola Yale will gather for Dubya. There will be the usual Gentlemen's C jokes the Wiffenpoofers will serenade. Gentlemen Songsters will most surely go off on a spree dooming us all for eternity. Stew Albert manages the Yippie Reading Room.
