NY Post: "41 Charged in Mortgage Fraud!"

101509bush1.jpg The Post really had us going here for a second, because this headline could be misunderestimated to mean that George H. W. Bush, our 41st president, was being indicted for mortgage fraud. For an all-too-brief moment, we thought, well, it's not Dubya, but it's a start! Unfortunately, the 41st president remains untouchable, and the 41 in question here is a crowd of attorneys, loan brokers, accountants charged with mortgage fraud involving tens of millions of dollars across New York state. Screw them, too, but don't tease us Post.

bwahahahahahahaha!!!! misunderestimated!!!

Leave Bush 41 alone. I used to think he was a terrible president, too, but after Bush 43, I finally realize just how bad it could have been.

Uh, OK. That'd be the reasonable thing to think whenever the number 41 is mentioned. And in other news, Abe Lincoln was busted for selling drugs in Michigan:
