'It seems that in Bush's America everything has it's price, and if the price is right you can come on down and buy whatever you want.'

Not Mr Damian's words, but the words of the political and social commentator Ted Ardvark, following the announcment that after a competitive tendering process the fashion giant Burberry is to sponsor Air Force One.

Air Force One, the President's hi tech airplane and office in the sky, will shortly be repainted in the prominent Burberry check and renamed 'Chav Force One' following the signing of the deal late last night.

The White House liked the size of the Burberry cheque

It's understood that the Presidential Seal which adorns the side of the plane will remain untouched, the only external part of the plane which will be left as it is.

The interior, mostly leather and plush upholstery at this stage will also get a makeover, and it's understood that President Bush's Sesame Street duvet will be replaced by something from the Burberry homefurnishings department.

Not the Presidential Seal, but very cute nonetheless

'This is a great deal for Burberry and a great deal for America' a spokesman for the fashion house said. 'Air Force One has always been a symbol of pride for the American people with Chav Force One the American people have even more to be proud of as we bring together fashion and politics, aviation and haute couture'.

President Bush was not available for comment.
Vice President Cheney was busy strangling a small child.
