GEORGE W. BUSH PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY DESTROYED BY FLOOD
Crawford, Texas (AP) - June 1st, 2007
In a strange twist of irony as hurricane season officially opened today, a tragic flood this morning destroyed the personal library of President George W. Bush. The flood began in the presidential bathroom where both of the books were kept. Both of the books have been lost. A presidential spokesperson said the president was devastated, as he had almost finished coloring the second one.
White House staff members repeatedly tried to call the Federal Emergency Management Agency to notify them of the situation, but there was no answer.

Delightful! A spot-on Associated Press writing style, except the quote, but that is forgiven in the midst of exceptional creativity and style in the satire genre. I give it a 9.2 overall. Good for a solid chuckle and a few forwards.
Satire works well when there’s so much truth behind what’s being said.

Wish I could take credit for it. That email forward has been kicking around for about two years now, I just Shanghai-ed it.
Thanks for reading!
