BUSH GOES BI-BYE
Bipartisan Bush to Deploy Democrats
by Untrue News special correspondent Ziggy Zubric
Living up to his campaign promise of strong
bipartisanship, President Bush announced today that he will be deploying several key
Democrats to volatile areas around the globe. Calling these areas “hotbeds of
anti-American aggression,” the president said he hopes the Democratic leaders will bring
stability to these regions, “or die trying.”
Former vice president Al Gore will be sent to Iraq, Senator
Hillary Clinton to Ramallah, and Senator Russ Feingold to Iran. “Good luck,” the
president told the departing Democrats. “May your missions bring peace, or leave you
resting in it.” --Z.Z. (ziggy@untruenews.com)

FOX TO HIRE EX-PRES.
The Fox Network is said to be developing a talk
show for former President Bill Clinton. Called "From Under My Desk" the show will
feature women who have been successful in films, stage work, and video cassettes.
"I'll deal with issues that are of interest to women" the
former president told Untrue News. "Such things as prostitution, pornographic modeling,
sexual issues of all kinds, the proper age of consent, beauty contests, and so on. One
of the real fun things about the show is, the guests enter from under my desk. Then I hold up a card with a number on it, like an
Olympic judge, but the home audience doesn't see how I voted. Then at the end they try
to guess what score I gave each guest. Whoo! This is, and I do mean IS, gonna be
great."
