Satire is a fine art:
WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 9 – As the grim body count climbs in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and its consequent flooding, fingers are increasingly being pointed at a pattern of systemic negligience by representatives of an entire political party. And some observers are saying that the problem goes all the way to the top.
“As far as I’m concerned, every single Democratic politician bears the blame for the shocking death toll in this disaster,” Secretary of State Condimelda Rice told Creek Running North. “Every single objective observer warned them starting in 2000 that the Bush Administration would wreak havoc on the fabric of this country. They did nothing to combat us, nor even to mitigate the worst effects of our actions after the fact. We have gutted this nation’s wealth and destroyed its infrastructure, and they did nothing but stand by and watch it happen. They had the skills, they had the manpower to do something about the damage we were sure to cause, and yet they have just sat on their hands for five long years.”
Vice President Dick Cheney echoed Secretary Rice’s remarks. Speaking to CRN from a fortified pro shop at the Cheyenne Mountain Country Club, he said “Their opposition to anything we do is so ineffective and weak-willed, that for two years I’ve had to tell myself to go fuck myself. If you ask me, that’s not the America I know.”
Well done, Chris. Read the rest.
