"In order to eliminate those tree-hugging Luddite trial lawyers from bringing about their frivolous lawsuits against my campaign contributor friends and preventing the clear cut harvesting of old growth forests, I hereby declare Spotted Owls and all other endangered species as enemy combatants of these here United States.

Attorney General John Ashcroft informs me that this means that spotted owls now have have no legal rights.  Therefore, you can't sue any of my logger golfing buddies.

Besides, have you ever tried to deep fry an owl?  Man I want to tell you, they taste just like Italian shoe leather, and I should know because I always seem to have my foot in my mouth" said Mr. Bush
