permanent ink no longer symbol of pride

When Iraqis bravely took to the polls this past December, many held their ink-stained fingers high as a proud symbol of the triumph of democracy over fear. Now a full month has passed, and the ink won't come off. Iraqis are pissed. They had no idea this was literally permanent ink. According to former King of Iraq Paul Bremmer, they deserve it. "This is what they get for calling me 'Paulie Girl' and Bremmer-Crotch-Face", snarled a hairy Bremmer from his speeding buick lesabre. President Bush wasn't available for comment, but his spokesman, John, refused to comment.
