NCAA CONVINCES JEB BUSH THAT BAN ON INDIAN NICKNAMES IS NECESSARY TO KEEP "BLOODTHIRSTY SAVAGES FROM GOING ON WARPATH"


PREZ'S BROTHER SAYS, "OK. THAT'S A GOOD REASON."

NEW YORK - Last August, Florida Governor Jeb Bush denounced as "political correctness run amok" the NCAA's decision that the sports teams for eighteen colleges, including Florida State, must shed insensitive American Indian nicknames or be barred from competing in post-season tournaments.

But the NCAA has hit upon an ingenious way to convince Governor Bush that the ban was necessary.

"They told me that if we don't adopt this stance, the bloodthirsty savages will go on the warpath -- you know, scalpings, whooping and hollering, the whole bit," Bush said. "And we all know this has been the redskins' unfortunate pattern throughout history, as evidenced by the innumerable historically accurate, albeit entertaining, cowboy movies depicting civilization's attempts to tame them. So, yes, now that I understand better, I totally agree that this ban is necessary to protect good Americans from these interlopers who have come to our country bent on stealing our land."
