WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)The redaction of the Mueller report stalled on Monday after the Attorney General, William Barr, passed out from inhaling fumes from multiple Sharpie markers.
Barr, who had been working around the clock to redact the report before its release, reportedly lost consciousness while trying to black out a seventy-four-page section detailing Donald Trump, Jr.,s contacts with more than three dozen Russian individuals.
You cannot use that many Sharpies, for hours on end, without proper ventilation, a Justice Department staffer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said. This was a disaster waiting to happen.
The insentient Barr was rushed to Walter Reed medical center, where a grim-faced hospital spokesperson described his condition as Ben Carsonlike.
At the White House, the press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, offered a more upbeat assessment. We expect Attorney General Barr to make a swift and full recovery, so that he can get to work on the Presidents taxes, she said.

Set in the early 1930s, in Berlin as the Nazis were gaining power in Weimar Germany. The plot is interwoven with satire -- sometimes subtle. The people who performed at or patronized the club found relief in humor.
We know what happened later there.
Hoping for a happier ending here. I'm looking at you, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerrold Nadler, and other Democratic leaders.
Also looking for a streaming version of that movie. It's been ages...
