JLA up in arms over Flash outburst


Members of the Justice League respond to Barry Allen's criticism of President Bush and the administration.

"As a nation, we are pretty well stretched," said Barry Allen, a political independent from Reed City, Mich. "I approve of some of the things the president has done, and disapprove of others. Overall, I disapprove."

This quote posted on CNN.com has caused a rift in the famed Justice League of America as members break their usual silence on political issues and began to speak out for Political causes.
Many remember the Justice Society had teamed up to fight Nazi Germany during the 1940s but openly criticizing a current administration is a new arena for the members that are usually united in their Pro-American stance.
Aquaman quickly defended Mr. Allen, "I am glad that that Barry said something. President Bush has been pissing on the environment for years and my water bound friends have felt the impact. He has put his war mongering ahead of real issues like the freedom to marry. Not that I'm gay, I just think that they have the right."
"Of course Aquaman would say that," Hal Jordan, Leader of the Green Lantern Corps and test pilot said, "He's been wanting to take the League political for years. He wanted us to take action during the Gore / Bush thing in Florida. I am really surprised Barry would criticize the President though. We have been staunch Republicans since Nixon. We rocked up Miami at the '68 convention. Barry must have nailed 400 interns, you know they don't call him the Flash for nothing, it doesn't take him long."
It's not only super-heroes taking a stand. Known member of the Legion of Doom and certified crazy person The Joker sent a press release, written mostly in crayon and smelling of urine, to comment on the situation, "Have you ever danced with devil in the pale moon light?" Though it didn't have really anything to do with President Bush or anything else, It was quite interesting.
Though the Joker is the arch-villian of Batman, the dark knight could not be reached for comment. It wasn't all silence out of Gotham City though, Multi-National Corporation, and major donor to the Republican Party, Wayne Enterprises released a statement in support of President Bush and expressing it's support for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It should be noted that Wayne Enterprises posted record profits last quarter based on their massive weapons division increased sales. They are also the leading contractor for rebuilding devastated parts of Louisiana and Mississippi. They have succeeded lately after LuthorCorp has fallen on hard times due to CEO Lex Luther bankrupting the company in an attempt break off half of California into the Ocean. Luckily Superman was able to spin the earth backwards which against all scientific knowledge, turned back time not cause catastrophic disaster.
Superman, the head of the Justice League and known the world over as the greatest super-hero, released a comment to Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane, "I believe in Truth, Justice and the American Way. Free Speech is part of that so I support Barry's right to his opinion"
The future of the Justice League seems be secure as the members will the weather political storm.
