In a move heavily anticipated for the last five years, the National Academy of Historians has ratified what had been generally accepted knowledge, and officially demoted George W. Bush to status of “Dwarf President.”

Although Bush stands over six feet tall, both the microscopic size of his brain, and his total lack of any gravitas, immediately disqualified him from the definition of a full-fledged President.

As with¬†Pluto, which has also been reduced to “dwarf status,” Bush¬†has a relatively eccentric orbit, inclined to six degrees of separation from reality.

Also, in another parallel with Pluto, Bush orbits among various icy wrecks, including Iraq, New Orleans and the entire federal budget.

Some historians actually recommended that Bush be further downgraded to “satellite,” given his inability to break the gravitational pull of the Neo-Con Solar System, also known as Cheney Destroy-e-alis. Still others voted to designate him as a mere ass-teroid.

When informed that he had been accorded the same treatment as Pluto, Bush replied¬†that he “appreciates that, since Pluto was always my favorite Disney character.”
