Bush: ?Democrats shouldn?t be trusted to run Congress.?
Invisible subhead: ?Because they?ll impeach my sorry ass.?
Lets take it for a test-drive and see if it works on some other headlines:
The Guardian Newsblog:’The Tories wonder what women want’
Invisible subhead: ‘… but whatever it is, they won’t get it’. ‘
AFP: ’17 US Troops Die In Iraq in 3 days’
Invisible subhead: ‘Who knew the ragheads could be so efficient?’
Washington Post: ‘When the House Could Clean Itself’
Invisible subhead: ‘..by licking it’s own arse.’
Why yes, it does work. Hours of fun for all the family. Thanks, Teresa.
