The Onion does politics:

Via Mark A. R. Kleiman we learn that the satirical on-line magazine, The Onion, has been looking at the Rove scandal. Kleiman cites this headline:

Bush Awaits Orders From Rove On Handling Of Rove Scandal

Which is pretty good - although we couldn't find the item when we visited the website. We did, however, find these two:

Bush To London Bombers: 'Bring It On'

WASHINGTON, DC—President Bush officially responded to the latest round of London transit bombings Monday, challenging terrorists to "do their worst." Said Bush, in a televised statement from the Oval Office: "The proud and resilient people of London can take anything the forces of evil and cowardice can throw at them. They will never live in fear of you. Bring it on." Prime Minister Tony Blair thanked Bush for his comments, inviting him to visit London and ride the Underground in a show of solidarity.

Embattled Rove Seeks Asylum In Scarorough County

SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY—Diplomatic sources reported Monday that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove has sought asylum in the conservative stronghold of Scarborough Country. "During his June 23 visit, Mr. Rove had indicated he might petition us for sanctuary from media persecution," said Joe Scarborough, the monarchical ruler of Scarborough Country. "And in my country, no passports are required and only common sense is allowed." While officials review Rove's asylum request, he is being held in the No-Spin Zone, a region of absolute neutrality governed by commentator Bill O'Reilly.

You know, that "Bring it on" line of Bush's was really a stupid thing to say. It'll catch up with him, you can be sure of that.
