I have to admit. This made me laugh out loud.
The blurb, which is complemented by that fantastic picture you see to your right, is classic The Onion. And in that vein, it gets better, almost as if this were some throwback article from the early 21st century:
WASHINGTON, DC—White House Secret Service Agent Anthony Panucci is being called a hero after intercepting what could have been a critically damaging question aimed directly at President Bush during a press conference in the Rose Garden Tuesday.
According to eyewitnesses, the press conference began with Bush fielding routine questions about March Madness and the dedication of a World War II memorial near his home in Crawford, TX. However, approximately seven minutes into the event, a lone reporter somehow managed to maneuver to the front of the press corps group and fire off a loaded, highly charged question concerning Bush's role in the controversial dismissal of eight federal attorneys last year.
"I just followed my training and did what I was supposed to do—put myself between the president and irreparable harm," said Panucci, who is credited with safely deflecting the attack away from Bush, as well as acting before the reporter had a chance to get off a follow-up question at close range."
Enjoy the rest of the article by clicking at the beginning of this entry, and while you're at it, have fun sending the entire article to friends in the States. Hey, there's got to be some drawbacks to being in one of the richest, most powerful nations in the world, right? Peace!
