WASHINGTON (TFM Press) -- The Republican National Committee (RNC) is threatening to take legal action against President George W. Bush in response to his suggestion today in Daytona Beach, Florida, that there will soon be a military draft.

In a campaign appearance earlier today in the Sunshine State, President Bush addressed the issue of a possible military draft in the near future. He told an audience of supporters that he has "made it plain we will not have an all-volunteer army."

Upon hearing of Bush's comment, RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie immediately sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Bush-Cheney 2004 campaign headquarters.

"This is irresponsible, inexcusable speculation," Gillespie's letter said. "You're no better than those little punks at MTV."

When reached for comment, members of Bush's campaign were initially on the defensive.

"This points directly to the profound differences in the visions the two candidates have for America," said BC04 spokesman Ken Mehlman. "John Kerry will do or say anything to get elected, while George Bush will go the extra mile to put his incumbent candidacy in jeopardy. Really, the contrast is stark."

"I reject the premise of your question," Bush Press Secretary Scott McClellan told a reporter during an afternoon press briefing. "The President's favorite beer is Miller Genuine All-Volunteer."

He then added, "wait, did I mention the President doesn't drink anymore? Next question."

GOP vice presidential campaign director Mary Cheney was unavailable for comment, as she has been hidden in a spiderhole in Tikrit until mid-November.
