"And America willbe stronger and better as a result. I stand here today in unity withFrench Prime Minister Jack Sharaq, who was so kind to accept my offer ofLouisiana in exchange for 25 million dollars cash."The state, ravaged by Hurricane Katrina, will cost hundreds of billionsof dollars to rebuild."Jack understands full well that this one's a 'fixer upper,'" said Bush."He and the French people are quite prepared to pump out all that water,and make Louisiana a decent place to live again. And they've got a lotof work to do. But Jack's assured me, if it's not right, they're goingto fix it."The move has been met with incredulity from the beleaguered residents ofLouisiana.However, President Bush's decision has been widely lauded byRepublicans."This is an unexpected but brilliant move by the President," said SenateMajority Leader Bill Frist.

Plus, when the god-awful French are done fixing itup, we can easily invade and take it back again."The money gained from ''The Louisiana Refund' is expected to beimmediately pumped into the rebuilding of Iraq.
