A Curse on Bush
Email

ABC News' Jessica Yellin Reports: Apparently disappointed that anti-Bush protests in Jakarta weren’t keeping the president away from Indonesia, an Indonesian magic-spell casting priest known as a "Dukun" conducted an animal sacrifice and bloodletting ceremony to jinx the president, his aides, and their Secret Service during their visit to Indonesia.
The video shows "renowned black magic practitioner" Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slitting the throats of a goat and a snake, stabbing a black crow, and mixing their blood with spices and broccoli. He then drinks the concoction and smears it on his face.
Pamungkas said, "I want to make the Secret Service possessed by spirits, make them fall into a trance and believe that Bush is under attack and cause an unwanted incident."
"I don't hate Americans, but I don't like Bush," he said. "Nobody asked me to do this, and no interest is behind me. I've seen what he's done in Afghanistan and Iraq."
Of the ritual, Pamungkas said: "It will succeed. The devil is with me today."
President Bush is scheduled to stop in Jakarta and Bogor early Monday morning for a meeting with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyno. Bush is not too popular in Indonesia, the world's most-populous Muslim nation. Student protesters have called on the Indonesian president to cancel Bush's visit, and the U.S. embassy has warned that protests could become violent.
To date there has been no official embassy warning on black magic jinxes.

I think that Bush should just stop being an ass and talk to Korea before he gets us all killed. Thanks to those morons who voted for him, look what you did for your fellow americans!

As far as I can recall America constantly aids Indonesia, not the reverse. In addition, I don't believe that there is avery long line at the Indonesian Mission in New York of Americans applying to move to Jakarta. I'd like to meet the Indonesian protester who wouldn't kiss the feet of anyone who would give him a visa to America. If they don't want the President to visit, I'm sure there are enough places where he would be welcome with open arms.

I think Bush put a curse on America. Bush is also a jinx on the GOP.

Let's pray for protection for Bush and the Secret Service.

If you think Bush is bad, just imagine how bad Kerry would have been.

Don't blame me, I voted for Mondale!

There is no need to make Bush possessed again.
He already was, causing many Americans to be hypnotized by him into invading Iraq and killing so many Iraqis.
The devil's work has already been done.

Yes, can you imagine how much better things would be if either Gore or Kerry hadn't had the elections blatantly stolen by this corrupt, hypocritical, inept and greedy regime? Absolutely everything would be better - thank GOD that the dems have a chance to undo the damage of the last 6 years. Anybody who doesn't realize that by now seriously needs to wake up.
