Mike Wallace Sues Son

Mike Wallace Sues Son; Demands Return of Sperm




Mike Wallace, Senior Correspondent for CBS's 60 minutes, filed suit this Friday against his son, Fox News Host Chris Wallace, demanding the immediate return of "one sperm and all accompanying genetic material."

"We have asked the courts to require that Chris Wallace immediately surrender all paternally inherited skills and characteristics to his father, Mike," said plaintiff's attorney Holly Sadlon. "When Chris was conceived, his family expected that he would use his alleged talents to further serious debate and educate the public. Instead, he chose to become a shill for right-wing media and their corporate sponsors."

Wallace had long been unhappy with his son's career path, but Sadlon said that the final straw came with Chris' interview of Former President Bill Clinton -- an interview in which the younger Wallace strongly implied that Clinton bore the brunt of responsibility for the September 11th, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington D.C.

"The fact is that Chris has never been particularly good at journalism," Sadlon said, "but that interview clearly demonstrates that even a tiny amount of talent can cause great harm when used inappropriately."

Wallace had reportedly offered his son the use of additional genes for honesty and journalistic integrity, but talks broke down when it was revealed that all Fox hosts have a strict "no integrity" clause in their contracts.

There's no word yet on whether Chris Wallace's mother, Norma Kaphan, plans to join the lawsuit, though she is rumored to be unhappy with Chris' use of her genes for intelligence, compassion and personal hygiene.

I got to the second paragraph (sentence one of the second paragraph) before I realized this was a joke. I was thinking... eww and :puke: until I realized...

10. I want mines back too
My Ex-wife argued in court that I was "no more than a sperm donor"

and the judge didn't see my point......

justice?

$500 a month for a home schooled bigot is what I pay?

5. How clever!
Wouldn't it be fun if Clinton was called in to testify against Chris? Between Mike's dry wit and Bill's quick wit, Chris, the witless, would be mincemeat.

Dibs for a seat on the jury!

15. I was looking for the Onion link
I was sure I would find it. When I didn't I thought it was because of the tears in my eyes and the fact that I fell off my chair laughing.

Great job! :applause:

I hate to say it but you need to be sick more often. :evilgrin:

38. I'm with you, also with the cold
Sneezing, sore throat and a deteriorating cough.

Wallace is a great example, along with the Bushes, for the inheritance tax. They show how generations of once productive Americans degrade over the years to become nearly worthless shills of their own piles of money.

13. His defense attorney claims
Chris inherited nothing from his father.

The proof is incontrovertible; there is no resemblance between Chris Wallace's work and journalism what-so-ever.

16. LOL! You know the old man can let his politics get in the way
of his journalism, too. Remember that awful interview with President Ahmadinejad of Iran? Ihought the elder Wallace let Ahmadinejad wipe the floor with him because his arrogance got in the way of his handling of the interview. It seems the acorn doesn't fall far from that tree.

I did enjoy your satirical take on this though.

21. Not only did Mike Wallace let Ahmadinejad wipe the floor with him,
he lost a chance for all of us to get serious intel on Ahmadinejad. Instead of acting like a popmpus jerk, he could have been a real journalist by allowing Ahmadinejad to talk and therefore reveal more information we could really use in the future. What an idiot. What an idiot he has for a son. :eyes:

31. Children do not owe their parents fulfillment of the parents' expectations.* That said... very funny
and I wish Mike Wallace would actually do this!

* beyond being a half-decent human being to the best of their capabilities, which Chris has clearly failed to fufill.

Suit over because Chris Wallace DIDN'T inherit anything from paternally from Mike. He'll be lucky to inherit Mike's loot when he passes.
