    With Obama in Brazil, Gaddafi takes over the White House

    WASHINGTON – Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi today took over the White House, which had been empty due to President Barack Obama’s trip to Brazil.

    “I now am President of America,” said Gaddafi, who sneaked in a back door into the empty White House. “Bow before me, infidels!”

    After taking over the Oval Office, Gaddafi’s first order of business was to change the name of the United States to “Libya 2.”

    Conservatives around the United States – who had been attacking Obama for being in Brazil when the U.N. began its attacks on Libya – crowed with schadenfreude.

    “See!? See!? This is what happens when you leave the White House,” said Ed Morrissey of Hot Air. “Anyone can just take over!”

    Political gadfly Sarah Palin added her two cents to the unfolding situation, as well.

    “Wait, I could have just walked in and taken over?” wrote Palin on her Facebook page. “WTF??”


    Obama has yet to comment on the situation, as he is still in Brazil and unable to get news from America.

    While it remains to be seen what will happen with Gaddafi now running the United States, Big Business has come out in support of Gaddafi.

    “As long as Gaddafi keeps taxes low and opens up off-shore drilling and ANWR, we don’t see this as a problem,” said BP CEO Robert Dudley. “We feel we’ll have a long and prosperous relationship with the people of Libya 2.”

    Speechless;

    Except that Hot Air is one of my favorite blogs!

    See, I'd assumed that "Hot Air" was a WKW invention, as a play on NPR's "Fresh Air". After visiting the blog, I wish I'd kept my innocence. You're a real Dick, you know that? ;)

    Dicks can be tough on innocence.

    This comes at a really bad time for The Donald.  He was just bragging on how badly he screwed ole Muammar on a lease.

    Unless, of course, the place he rented to him was the White House. Then it all makes sense; I heard Gaddafi was looking for a pied-a-terre somewhere with less sand and fewer bombs.

    A nit to pick on your reporting:

    change the name of the United States to “Libya 2.”

    should read:

    change the name of the United States to “Great Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya 2.”
