Caged Saddam to be Highlight of Inaugural Ball

[Tafiti]

Oh how I love the Onion:

WASHINGTON, DC—Attendees at the Independence Ball, one of nine officially sanctioned galas celebrating President George W. Bush's second inauguration Thursday, will be treated to a viewing of a caged Saddam Hussein, White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan said Monday. "What better way to honor the president than with a physical symbol of his many first-term triumphs?" McClellan said as Hussein rattled the bars of a cage already suspended above the ballroom where the event will be held. "And I must compliment the planning committee. Outfitting Gitmo detainees with iron collars and forcing them to serve appetizers was an inspired stroke." Ball attendees will also be awarded door prizes, including a basket of nuts, 20 yards of cloth, and a barrel of crude oil.

1. It wouldn't surprise me to see them put Saddam in ...

one of those dunk tanks like they have at state fairs. You know the one's where you get three balls to throw and if you hit the target the seat falls away and the guy falls in the water.:+

3. Ah, yes. Wholesome family fun.

Although, that sounds a little too nice and playful for what we have to deal with on "that side of the aisle."

2. Why wouldn't it surprise me to see Saddam's cell on the Jumbotron

at Dumbya's coronation?
