KERRY SPENT WAR COWERING
IN SAIGON EMBASSY BASEMENT
SAYS VETERANS GROUP

 

“Authenticated” 1973 Photo of Kerry Supplied By
Viet Nam Veterans For The Glorification of Atrocities

By Konrad Adenoid

CRAWFORD, TX, August 20 – The Viet Nam Veterans For The Glorification of Atrocities, a group which asserts that “it has no ties whatsoever to President What’s-His-Name down the road,” is continuing its attack on candidate John F. Kerry. “We just want to get the truth out on this lying turncoat,” said the group’s chairman Rear Captain Fullmer Bargewell (ret.).

Bargewell noted that although the photo (above) showed Kerry outside on embassy grounds, “We know he spent most of his time hiding in the crawlspace under the embassy, with a huge stack of Turkish pornography and an endless supply of Laotian opium.”

Another member of the group, Uberlieutenant Braxton Kilwell (very ret.) complained that while he and his comrades were out “severing the body parts of suspected Viet Cong, Kerry was feeding lies to the Jewish-controlled media and then receiving medals for it.”

When pointed out that Kerry does indeed have service-related scars, Bargewell said, “he just bumped his head on an air conditioning duct in the basement of the embassy.”

When asked for proof of Kerry’s dereliction, Kilwell said, “We just know it, and that’s good enough for us and for President What’s His Name, too.”

“IN A LANDSLIDE”

Carter Promises Free Gasoline

CARACAS, August 17 – Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has another accomplishment to add to his already impressive resume – president of Venezuela. Carter, who speaks passable Spanish, promised to continue as did his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, to “resist the blustering aggression of the yanqui imperialistas.”

Carter had, of course, been in Venezuela as an official observer of the plebiscite voting process, but some reporters noted that he and his aides from The Carter Center had been deeply involved in counting the ballots. “I guess,” said Carlos Sierra of the influential Caracas daily, El Nacional, “that’s what happens when we give the gringos too much power.”

Carter himself professed some surprise at the magnitude of the win, “since I wasn’t even running. But this just shows what happens in Latin America when you control the voting process.” Carter said that, unlike Chavez, he had already decided to keep Venezuela’s massive oil revenues, “mostly for myself. I haven’t made that much money lately and, frankly, I deserve it. While I’m at it, I’ll build a new palacio for Rosalyn and me. And, by the way, you can call me El Caudillo from now on, gracias.”

ALAN KEYES TO RUN FOR
GOVERNOR OF
NEW JERSEY, TOO

Harvard-educated, creationist-reductionist, Republican gadabout Alan Keyes has entered the race to replace New Jersey governor James McGreevey. Although Keyes has already declared himself Republican senate candidate for Illinois, he said that serving in two states shouldn’t pose any problem. “After all," he said, "I'm a Harvard graduate. Besides, I’d get a lot of frequent flier miles if I was governor in one state and senator in another.”

Keyes, who is a strict biblical literalist, believes that he would be what New Jersey voters deserve, “after electing a homosexual fornicator such as McGreevey.” He sees himself as a cleansing storm of righteousness who would “rip out the weeds in the Garden State.”

 

HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP COMPLAINS THAT U.N.
IS “RIDDLED WITH FOREIGNERS.”

House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) and Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-TX) announced today that they had launched their own investigation into the United Nations. According to Hastert, “Our preliminary findings indicate that this so-called international body is, in reality, riddled with foreigners, many of whom insist on making their own decisions.”

DeLay, who has long complained about the power of the U.N., said that he had “private information” that many U.N. employees were “completely out of the control of the United States,” and that moreover, “many of them are not Christian.”

Hastert said that he has urged Congress to withhold any further financial contributions to the U.N. “until we can get it cleansed of non-Americans. They shouldn’t be there. Why else would it be in the United States?”

  ANHEUSER-BUSCH TO
MARKET NEW BEER IN IRAQ
CALLED SADR BUDWEISER

“We just decided on a join venture with a Shiite marketing group who thought there was a niche for this product,” said Paul Wustlebrod from Anheuser-Busch headquarters in St. Louis. Some critics wondered if the increasingly devout Shiites would, in fact, be drinking beer of any kind, but Wustlebrod said that the company would be also marketing it in a non-alcoholic version called Sadr Day Night Fever.
