Stankie Boudreaux Declines Commencement Speech Invitation
George W Bush Agrees to Step In
(Gulfport) In an abrupt move, Stankie Boudreaux, chief mechanic and owner of Boudreaux’s Buggy Shop, has declined an invitation to speak at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College’s graduation ceremony on May 11. “I just don’t have the time,” said Mr Stankie, as he is known to his customers. “What with all the cars backin up, and the wife on me about my drinkin. And I gotta show up at the damn courthouse that Wednesday,” he said from somewhere underneath a 1989 Plymouth Reliant. “I mean, I wish I could, you know that. But I think they’re serious this time.” It was unclear what Mr Stankie was referring to, and he did not elaborate.
When told the news, Mr Willis Lott, president of MGCCC, was not pleased. “That sneaky bastard, I knew he was gonna do that, I just knew it. I cannot believe he’d do that to us. He knows the kids was looking forward to it. He started in about his wife, too, didn’t he?” Mr Lott shuffled some papers and tapped his pen on his teeth. He then sighed heavily and reached for his telephone. “I guess it’s plan B, then.”
President Bush plans to arrive in Gulfport a day early, and sources say he will stay for a few days afterward, both for Katrina photo-ops and aimless reminiscing of a time when people showed him at least a modicum of respect.
