Replacing McClellan

The choice for White House Spokesguy was finally named today. Thanks to some hard hitting investigative journalism, Cerulean Blue has obtaned a list of all the people considered for the job. What follows is an exclusive look at the contents of this internal White House memo. Included: a scouting report for each candidate (a list of their strengths and weaknesses) as well as their ranking once the final decision was made.

Last Place: Ballsey McTesticle

Ballsey hates terrorists! Goddamn he hates them!! Aaahhhh!!! And Arabs! Wait, wait...that was inappropriate. He didn't mean to say that. He meant to say "jihadists". Really.

Strength: can and will eviscerate David Gregory with his bare teeth.

Weakness: may unintentionally harm a Fox News correspondent since his unstoppable patriotic fury makes friend/foe distinctions impossible.

#5: Randomly Chosen Democratic Senator

They already slavishly fear, follow and mimic the president, might as well make their role as White House spokespeople official.

Strength: their lack of strength

Weakness: their tendency to make a pee spot any time a Republican says "boo".

#4: Pedro the Guest Worker

Hola! What better way to promote the president's immigration policy than to put a recent immigrant front and center?

Strength: Pedro is very, very affordable. You say "exploitation", Pedro says "Si, por favor."

Weakness: his ethnicity may be a problem for the president's conservative base (of horribly inbred cracker-ass whiteys.)

#3: Catchphrase McGee

This sound-bite friendly candidate seems well suited to a president already fond of bumpersticker policies (like the classic "We need to stay the course" and the more recent favorite, "We need to stay the course.")

Strength: He excels at branding and selling a message.

Weakness: retarded pull-string responses ("9-11 changed everything! 9-11 changed everything!") make him indistinguishable from previous spokespeople.

Runner up: Tennis ball with a face painted on it

This is a yellow, buoyant sphere traditionally used in games of tennis, upon which a face has been painted.

Strength: who gives a shit? The title "spokesperson" is synonymous with "useless spin-whore". Stick a tennis ball out there and call it a day.

Weakness: may get carried off and lost by Britches, Laura's adorable new poodle.

And The Winner Is: Blando Blandyman (a.k.a. Tony Snow)

Fox News has confirmed that one of their own has accepted the job.

Strengths: As a former Fox News anchor, he's developed the uncanny ability to turn every utterance of the president into a coherent statement . If Bush ever farts in public Snow will likely proclaim, "Behold, the liberty trumpet has sounded!"

Weakness: May very well beat Laura Bush in the Vacant, Glassy-Eyed Stare Competition.

    Is it just me, or was that wikipedia entry written by Snow himself? That there is his personal bio.

    My vote goes to Blando Calrissian, the new official mouthpiece of the orifice of God!!! May The Farce be with him!!!

    Sorry, that was a bit "out there".

    But heck, why should Bu$hCo not hire someone from FOX? FOX is pretty much the propaganda arm of the administration anyway. Whether Americans like FOX or loathe it, I think we all realize that it's the Republican party's news service... so iring Snow is actually a very honest move on Bush's part.

    Wait... did I say the words "Bush" and "honest" in the same sentence!? Quick, let me retract!!

    "Behold, the Liberty Trumpet has sounded"

    oh my god that was good. I have a whole new take on the book of Revalation and the angel sounding it's trumpet. Who know that Terrence and Philip were originally in the bible?
