WHITE HOUSE JUMPS THE SHARK
Hunting Accident, Ports Deal Telltale Signs, Expert Says
The recent woes besetting the Bush administration offer conclusive proof that the White House has finally jumped the shark, an expert in the field of jumping the shark said today.
Jumping the shark - a phrase referring to the phenomenon of a long-running television series suddenly becoming irretrievably bad - has never been used to explain the rapid deterioration of a presidency before.
But according to shark jumping expert Jace Monteith, "The Bush administration is beginning to look like the fourth season of 'Saved By the Bell.'"
Mr. Monteith points to Vice President Dick Cheney's recent hunting accident as a sure sign that the White House has jumped the shark.
