Cowardly Chimpy Afraid of Osama Lookalike Comedian

What a baby. I bet he runs away from little old ladies too.

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- Members of an Australian TV comedy show, one of them dressed as Osama bin Laden, drove through two security checkpoints Thursday before being stopped near the Sydney hotel where U.S. President George W. Bush is staying.

Police officers were not amused by the comedy group's stunt. Eleven people were arrested.

The stunt embarrassed Sydney police who have imposed the tightest security measures in city history for a summit of leaders from Pacific Rim countries, including Bush.

Police arrested 11 cast and crew members from the TV program, "The Chaser's War on Everything," and impounded three vehicles, the Australian Broadcasting Corp., which airs the show, said on its Web site.

Cast members put together a sham motorcade, hiring two motorcycles and three large cars on which they put Canadian flags. Police waved the motorcade through two checkpoints before pulling it over near the Intercontinental Hotel where Bush is staying.

Cast member Chas Licciardello got out of the car dressed in a white tunic and cap and wearing a long, fake, Osama bin Laden-style beard.

Wow, I feel so safe knowing bozos like these can get duped by a totally obvious comedy routine. Maybe they need to watch more "24," to see how real fake policemen should act.

If Bush were a man and not a sniveling chimp, well, I won't say it. Rather, I can imagine the Clenis or Gore mucking it up with the cast members of this stunt, or perhaps making a point about the value of humor in dark times. Chimpy's only answer for everything is "arrest/shoot/kill/defund."

Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns.

I love it! Like Billionaires for Bush. Or this massive takedown Orcinus writes about.

We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan

Had they been ’real’

Had they been 'real' Canadians disguised as terrorists, they wouldn't have been such spendthrifts and had three cars. The budget would have been trimmed down to making them all fit into a Volkswagon bus. L0L
