Putting food on Muslims

Hope your ironymeter goes to 11.

The United States has a proud history of standing with Muslims and "mainstream citizens across the broader Middle East," President Bush said Thursday during a dinner to mark the end of the daily fast during Ramadan.

Lt. Cmdr. Abuhena Saifulislam, the second Muslim chaplain commissioned in the Navy, gave the blessing for dinner, which included roasted kabocha squash soup, spiced rack of lamb and mamoul cookies. The guests dined in the White House's State Dining Room.

"Let us celebrate the millions of Muslims that we are proud to call American citizens," Bush told guests. "And let us honor the many Muslim nations that America is proud to call friends."

Bush concluded, "Let us feed Muslims here tonight so we don't have to fight them over there. Or something like that. Now, watch this caliph."

Okay, maybe I made that last paragraph up ...

I hope someone somewhere has a recording of Drunky McStagger trying to pronounce the menu.
