Really Tasteless Iraq Joke

But you know you want to read it anyway. From Iraqslogger:

You're sitting by the seashore and suddenly spot Cheney and Bush. They are both drowning, and you could only save one of them. Do you a) balance your checkbook; or b) go see a movie?

I thought it was two gallons!!
