Political and current events satire

juan cole has a post up with some wry and sadly ironic humor... a sample...
Item: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales presided over the firing of 8 federal attorneys, apparently for political reasons. His chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, has resigned over the scandal. The attorney general maintained that he presided over 130,000 employees and couldn't know everything that was going on. Senator Charles Schumer is threatening to subpoena Mr. Gonzales for an investigation.


In other news, Congress demanded that Mr. Gonzales resign for having authorized the use of torture in contravention of the US constitution and of the Geneva Conventions, to which the US is a signatory. "His influential memo led to the Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib scandals that have forever besmirched the fair name of the United States," Senator Trent Lott lamented.
