Former President
Clinton Schools Fox News
’Tards
During an interview that aired September 24, 2006 on
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace (replacement for Tony
Snow, currently lowering the standards at his new job as White House
spokesman) asked former President Clinton why he failed to “do more”
during his presidency to put Al Qaeda and bin Laden “out of
business” than “provide bin Laden with whores and cash while
personally overseeing the planning of 9/11.”
Clinton, mysteriously, did not react kindly to
this line of questioning. Like other far liberal extremists, he
wondered why the Bush administration had never even discussed bin
Laden prior to 9/11, why President Bush had ignored an August 5,
2001 intelligence warning that bin Laden wanted to “hijack a U.S.
aircraft” and “strike within the U.S.”, why the Bush White House
demoted counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, the only official,
as Clinton said, “who’s worked against terror, from the terrorist
incidents under Reagan to the terrorist incidents on 9/11,” why the
Bush White House never retaliated for the bombing of the USS Cole,
and why Bush refused to commit more troops, as urged by the CIA, to
catch bin Laden at Tora Bora in late 2001.

Top 10 Of 77,069 U.S. Terror
Targets Identified By The Department Of Homeland Security
WASHINGTON - The Department of
Homeland Security recently released a database of 77,069 potential
domestic terrorist targets. Why this list was made public now is
unclear, but letting the terrorists know we are on to them seems
unwise. Here to further endanger American security are the top ten
terrorist targets described by DHS as “critical infrastructure.”
Note: it would be wise to avoid any unnecessary trips to Indiana,
the most dangerous state in the country; it is home
to 8,951 national assets at high risk of impending Jerry
Bruckheimer-style destruction.
Not
quite making the list: A bait-and-tackle shop, an ice cream parlor,
a check-cashing joint, and the Tippecanoe Battlefield Memorial.

Tony Snow: 126,898 U.S. Soldiers Not
Kidnapped And Murdered In Iraq This
Week
WASHINGTON -
In recent months the number of American troops in Iraq has fallen from
138,000 to 126,900. But violence continues across the country. An Iraqi man
was recently dragged from home, taken away, executed, and then returned with
a shovel to make him appear to be an insurgent. Elsewhere, three prisoners were killed
by their captors. In another town, a group of men tore through homes shooting
unarmed men, women and children with execution-style precision.
And that’s
just the violence committed by U.S. troops. Suicide bombings, IEDs, and
kidnappings by insurgents and criminal gangs continue across Iraq.
Reconstruction has stalled. After billions of dollars, utilities are often
as bad as they were under Saddam Hussein, if not worse.

To Save Time, New Orleans Levees To Be Completed With
Stacks Of Cash
NEW ORLEANS
- With the official start of hurricane season on June 1st,
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has decided its late July target
date for completion of repairs to the still inadequate
levees is no longer an option. Instead of continuing to haul in
suitable soil, rocks, and other building materials, the $800 million
project will finish the repairs with bricks of $100 bills wrapped in
plastic.
“This way everybody wins,” says
Maj. Gen.
Don Riley, director of civil works for the corps,
“the workers, the citizens of New Orleans, and the
taxpayer, of course. Turns out it’s actually more economical to
build levees out of cash. You wouldn’t think dirt and stones and
concrete would be more expensive, but they are. Especially when you
add in the cost of labor, transportation, and kickbacks.”

Stephen
Colbert Awarded Prestigious Stephen Colbert Award
WASHINGTON – The Washington Obfuscator is
pleased to present pundit and cartoon voiceover guy (The Venture
Brothers, The Ambiguously Gay Duo) the Obfuscator’s
prestigious own Stephen Colbert Award, established way back in 1941
for reasons no one living can now remember. The occasion is
Stephen’s toast to President Bush at the
Washington Correspondents Dinner on April 29th.
It’s not easy to make light of a living punch line, but somehow
Stephen did it.

How To
Keep Those Damn Kids Out Of Your Yard With Two Shotgun Blasts Or Less
CINCINNATI, OH—“I just killed a kid,” Charles
Martin, 66, told a 911 operator on Sunday, March 12, 2006. For too
long the old man had lived in fear of the ferocious fifteen-year-old
boy who lived next door.
“I’ve been being harassed by him and his
parents for five years,” Martin continued. “Today just blew it up.
Kid’s just been giving me a bunch of shit, making the other kids
harass me and my place, tearing things up.”
“OK,
so what'd you do?” asked the operator.
“I shot him with a goddamn
.410 shotgun twice.”
“You shot him with a shotgun?
Where is he?”
“He’s laying in his yard,”
Martin replied.

NBC Buys iVillage For $600 Million
After Obfuscator Rejects $601 Million Bid
Last month,
NBC Universal bought iVillage, a website devoted to women, for $600
million. The news came just days after The Washington Obfuscator
rejected a $601 million offer. Obfuscator chief merger
negotiator and executive hedge trimmer Frederick Gundling said, “I
guess the f*ckers weren’t bluffing.”
Major media companies have been on something of a buying spree
lately. Last year, Rupert Mudoch’s News Corp. bought MySpace (“More
Than A Playground For Pedophiles”) and IGN (“We've Never Heard Of Us
Either”). In February 2005, The New York Times Company bought
About.com.
NBC Universal's chief executive Robert C. Wright said he had no idea
what iVillage was, but it was an Internet company, and therefore
“cool.” He confirmed talks to buy The Washington Obfuscator
newspaper, but insisted the offer price was actually closer to
“forty dollars.”

Cheney Takes Break From Screwing Country To Hunt Friends For Sport
CORPUS CHRISTI—On
Saturday, February 11, Vice President Dick Cheney was hunting quail
at one of the largest private properties in Texas, a
50,000-acre ranch owned by Republican icon Anne
Armstrong. And then he turned his 28-gauge shotgun on the bright
orange vest of Austin lawyer Harry Whittington, blasting the
seventy-eight-year-old in the face, neck and chest.
Whittington, incidentally, is a former member of the Texas Board of
Corrections and head of the Texas Public Finance Authority Board. In
1999, he was appointed head of the Texas Funeral Service Commission
by then-Governor Bush, a position he still holds. The wounded lawyer
was flown to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital, where he stayed in
intensive care, alert and channel-surfing until birdshot lodged near
his heart triggered a heart attack on the Tuesday morning after the
shooting. Later, his condition was upgraded from stable to
Democrat, and one week after the
shooting Whittington was discharged from the hospital, pausing just
long enough to—really—apologize
to the vice president for the shooting. However, the 5-200
pellets of birdshot lodged in his body continued their migration,
eventually turning up days later inside the interred body of former
Texas Governor John Connelly.

Nation
Holds Breath During Latest Bush
Vacation
CRAWFORD, TX – A few miles
from here President Bush is spending the post-Christmas holiday at
his ranch. Exactly what he does there—“reading really really big
historical books, clearing brush, and chasing rabbits,” according to
the official press releases—doesn’t seem to matter. Highlights of
past Bush vacations include Hurricane Katrina and the 9/11 attacks,
which occurred during or just after month-long periods of downtime
at Crawford.
“Jesus, what’s next?” asks Kyle Hutchins, 39, of Minneapolis. “Every
time that man goes on vacation, thousands of people die. Someone’s
got to stop him.”

Original Coca-Cola Polar Bear Dead
From Diabetes
ATLANTA – The fourteen-year-old polar
bear made famous in the Coca-Cola holiday ads first launched in 1993
has died from complications due to diabetes, a spokesman for the
soft drink company confirmed Tuesday. The 1,200-pound bear known as
Jack Frost “died peacefully in his sleep at his luxurious,
six-by-six enclosure at Coke’s corporate Atlanta headquarters,” and
not, as animal rights activists insisted, “in a violent life and
death struggle with a dozen stun gun-equipped handlers in a
last-ditch bid for freedom after numerous futile and typically
bloody escape attempts.”

The Year In Headlines: 2005 Edition
OBFUSCATOR
OPIUM DEN & CAFETORIUM - Looking back at 2005, we recall a year marked
by a series of stunning triumphs from the never-better Bush White
House. Whether it was timely responses to the Asian tsunami, Hurricane
Katrina and the Pakistan earthquake, cutting vacations short to pound
out a health care plan for all Americans, or carefully listening to
criticism and formulating revolutionary new approaches to the Iraq
War, it seemed there was nothing President Bush couldn't do in 2005.
There was also a runaway bride in there somewhere, but the
Obfuscator prides itself on covering only the important issues of
the day. Here, then, are the top ten headlines of 2005 in
chronological order.
