Bush Joke About WMD Wins Satire Award

WASHINGTON, DC — President Bush's humorous reference to not being able to find Iraq's weapons of mass destruction has won the prestigious Radio and Television News Correspondents Association satire award for 2004.

Democrats are furious that some of Kerry's bloopers were not even considered for the award.

"The fact that the President can see satire in the tragic deaths of over 500 US troops in Iraq is truly brilliant," said a spokesman for the RTNCA. "The President makes Kerry's efforts at satire look lame. Kerry tries too hard to be satirical. George does it effortlessly."

Kerry's campaign later issued a statement. "Our candidate's joke about voting for and not voting for the $87 billion was a hoot. And calling a Secret Service agent who had taken an oath to protect him a 'son of a bitch' after the agent accidentally bumped into him on a ski slope was pretty darn funny. If George Bush wants to make this election all about satire, we're not afraid of going toe to toe with him. All we can say is, 'Bring it on!'"

Donald Rumsfeld was said to be disappointed that his remarks about 'known knowns' and 'known unkowns' did not win the award. Mr. Rumsfeld had told reporters, "As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know."

Al Sharpton called the Bush joke "one of the best political jokes since I charged a suite at the Mansion on Turtle Creek to my campaign."
