WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a
stunning, shocking and somber moment, President George W. Bush assembled
his cabinet in the White
House Rose Garden
today to sign the surrender documents in America’s defense of
Traditional Values and officially hand over the reigns of government to
the victors, homosexuals.
“This has been a long, hard-fought battle, on both side,” the president
said, with a subtle, almost imperceptible nod to his chief advisor, Karl
Rove. “We are all glad to see it finally resolved.”
With a trembling hand, the president then put his official mark, a
jagged, shaky “X,” on the bottom line of the surrender documents.
“I trust that
all Americans everywhere, particularly here in America, which is where
so many Americans live, will join me in welcoming our new overlords, the
Ho-Mo-Sex-You-Ahls.”
The now former president then handed over the pen with which he had
signed the surrender documents to the representative of the Queer
Alliance, General Geoff Smyth, of San Francisco, Cal.
General Smyth accepted the surrender pen, adjusted his ascot, then
warmly embraced our vanquished leader, Mr. Bush.
“We humbly accept this capitulation,” Smyth said, planting a sloppy wet
kiss square on Bush’s mouth, “and we want to assure every American that
we have a comprehensive 14-point plan for the total redecoration of this
great country. I mean, it’s a great country and all, but you have to
admit it’s a little drab.”
Smyth, puffing idly on a Salem 100 menthol cigarette, said his first act
of office will be to create a Minister of the Interior Decorating
cabinet
position,
which will oversee the reorganization of everything from the colors on
our nation’s flag, to the colors of interstate highway signs, as well as
the landscaping around our nation’s homes and trailer parks.
The victory of the Queer Alliance, which was solidified last week when
Congress overwhelmingly passed an amendment to the Constitution defining
“marriage” as “only between two or more people of the same gender,” came
as no surprise to the remnants of the nation’s heterosexual minority,
who, decimated by the war’s fallout, have been cowering for months in
reinforced bunkers of concrete, steel and Betty Grable pinups in
America’s Heartland.
“We’ve been hanging on by a thread for months,” said Dr. James Dobson,
founder of Focus on the Family and the leader of the Traditional Values
Resistance since April, when then-leader Rev. Pat Robertson suddenly and
inexplicably took Ralph Reed, former head of the Christian Coalition, to
be his lawfully wedded wife. “American society’s permissiveness began in
1981 with that dreadful ‘Love Sidney’ show starring Tony Randall. By the
time ‘Will and Grace’ went off the air, we knew it was only a matter of
time.”
The Bush administration, however, maintained to the end that the entire
turn of events was completely unexpected.
“I
don’t think anyone could have anticipated ‘fill in the blank’,” Bush
said, reading from a 5-by-7 index card. The deposed president then
smirked, blushed, chortled, cleared his throat, and added, “uhm, I mean,
could have anticipated an insurgency in Iraq would hijack an airplane,
fly it into a hurricane, breach the levies, and, uhm . . . a
ho-mo-sex-you-ahl victory.”
The swift, sudden and impeccably stylish victory of the Queer Alliance
was credited in part to the stealth infiltration of Traditional American
forces and the White House by undercover operatives, known among the
Alliance as “Coat Hangers,” for their “in-the-closet” activities while
“smoking” out Traditional intelligence.
James Dale Guckert, a gay male prostitute operating under the name Jeff
Gannon, infiltrated the White House Press Corps in 2003 and made more
than 200 overnight visits to the White House over a 22-month period.
During that time, Guckert was able to collect valuable intelligence in
the administration’s war efforts, as well as lucrative tips and cab
fare.
“No matter where I went within the hallowed halls of Washington,” said
Guckert, who has been tapped by Smyth as Press Secretary for the new
Queer Government, “they always treated me like a lady.
“Never underestimate the power of pillow talk,” he added.
