BLIZZARD SHOCKER
BUSH BLAMES BLIZZARD ON SADDAM
Evildoer Drops Two Feet of Snow on Northeast, White House Says
President Saddam Hussein of Iraq dropped between one and two feet of snow on the Northeastern United States today, closing airports and creating hazardous driving conditions, President George W. Bush revealed.
"To those in the world who say that Mr. Saddam Hussein poses no threat, I'd ask you to take a look outside your window," President Bush said in a White House press briefing this afternoon. "It's a freaking mess out there."
While President Bush offered no concrete evidence of a Saddam-snowstorm connection, he said that Secretary of State Colin Powell would be sharing satellite proof in the days ahead of a link between Saddam Hussein, al Qaeda, the blizzard, and the new ABC series entitled "Are You Hot?"
At the Weather Channel, meteorologists were "taken aback" by Mr. Bush's accusation of a link between Saddam Hussein and the worst blizzard in nearly a decade, calling any such claim "extraordinary."
"It would be possible but highly unlikely for any head of state to create a snowstorm of this magnitude," said chief meteorologist Bernard Hogan. "Our best guess is it's just the weather."
At the White House, press secretary Ari Fleischer dismissed Mr. Hogan's statement, saying that the Weather Channel "was dominated by French and
Belgian intellectuals and appeaseniks."
In other international news, British Prime Minister Tony Blair ignited a new controversy today when he admitted that he had recently taken out an ad in The Evening Standard's personals section.
The ad, paid for with Mr. Blair's own funds, reads, "Lonely British PM seeks anyone in entire country who agrees with him."
Just to add some sense of humor...
