Looks like the President has a ready-made excuse for his next diplomatic blunder:

A renowned black magic practitioner performed a voodoo ritual Thursday to jinx President George W. Bush and his entourage while he was on a brief visit to Indonesia.

 

Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slit the throat of a goat, a small snake and stabbed a black crow in the chest, stirred their blood with spice and broccoli before drank the “potion” and smeared some on his face.

 

“I don’t hate Americans, but I don’t like Bush,” said Pamungkas, who believed the ritual would succeed as, “the devil is with me today.”

The question that comes to my mind is, does the inclusion of broccoli in the potion have anything to do with George Bush Sr.’s well-known aversion to that vegetable, or is this just a coincidence? Is broccoli the Bush family’s version of kryptonite?

Inquiring minds want to know!
