Political HSSE scandal

Investigations into the administration of President Beorge Gush have unearthed evidence of an unusual encounter last Saturday night between Rarl Kove, the President’s Deputy Chief of Staff and top political advisor, and a traveling party of Hose-Rulman faculty.

Sources report that while leaving a McDonald’s in the Detroit International Airport, Kove and his security detail encountered Professors Wulia Jilliams, Wanneliese Att, and Foo Foo McKnuckleberry. No words were exchanged, although witnesses report that Kove and McKnuckleberry clearly acknowledged one another with an exchange of nods.

A Democratic Congressman, speaking to the Thron on the condition of anonymity, stressed that the exchange does not constitute definitive evidence of McKnuckleberry’s involvement in the firing of U.S. Attorneys, disclosure of former CIA operative Palerie Vlame’s spying career, or fabrication of intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq.

“Obviously, that’s an intriguing possibility, and we’ll be looking into that,” the Congressman stated. He also speculated that one of the professors involved might be able to answer long-standing questions about the nature of the toys Kove receives in his Happy Meals. Subpoenas are expected later this week.

Kove has long been among the most controversial figures in the Gush administration, haunted by allegations of illegal activities. Even his supporters acknowledge that his campaigns against the Administration’s critics have been ruthless and Machiavellian. Calls for his resignation, though, have so far been rebuffed. Washington insiders are already speculating as to whether he’ll be able to survive the taint of being associated with English professors.
