Former U.S. president George W. Bush accidentally voted for Barack Obama today at a polling place near his Crawford, TX home.
According to local reports, the two-term Republican was confused by the instructions on his electronic voting machine and mistakenly cast a ballot he intended to discard.
Witnesses say Bush argued with poll workers for several minutes afterwards in a effort to redo his vote, but in accordance with state law they ultimately denied his request.
The embarrassing incident may have gone unnoticed if it weren't for a local newspaper reporter who happened to be voting in the next booth. Suzanna Everett, a politics correspondent for the Waco Times witnessed the entire ordeal and crafted a cunning scheme to make it public.

Thinking that his mistake had already been found out, Bush sought to minimize the damage:
"Yes unfortunately because of the incompetence of the folks who designed the ballot, my vote counted for the other guy," Bush responded. He then attempted to explain exactly how the mishap occurred:
"First of all, everything was very mismaladjusted on the screen. You shouldn't put the senators and the congresspeople and the presidents all jumbled together like that. It's too crowded. Just confuses folks."
Yes George, it confuses the addlepated folks.
Yesiree, sure does.
Bush actually intended to vote for Maggie Thatcher.
The funny thing is, Bush is so stupid this doesn't read like a parody at all. I can totally see him doing this, and then screaming at people because he didn't get his way.
Maybe it was not accidental.
GW is a fucking idiot for sure (though, he flew fighter jets, so he can't be ALL retarded) but if you didn't realize that was a parody post by the second paragraph then you are a DUMB. ASS.
