It was a stunning announcement late yesterday from Fox News. There had
been a veil of secrecy all day as the motorcade arrived at Los Angeles
International Airport late in the afternoon.

Roger Ailes, CEO of Fox News stepped out of the first limousine and
waited as the Libyan Air Force jet arrived at the tarmac. The Fox News
cameras started to roll as Muammar Abu Minyar al-Ghadafi stepped from
the plane.

Ailes and Ghadafi greeted each other warmly. Ailes was the first to
speak and said in part:

"Muammar, welcome to the United States of America, land of the free
and the home of the brave. You will have very big sandals to fill as
you replace Glenn Beck.

"Glenn has been a stalwart for us; he has energized our base, and
brought our followers to a fever pitch. As in all things though, it is
time to move on, to explore new boundaries, and never become stale.
Muammar, you are our man!"

Ghadafi stepped to the microphone, looked skyward and spoke...and
spoke...and spoke some more. After two hours he was driven to the
Beverly Hilton where he was honored at a cocktail party by actor
Charlie Sheen who spoke...and spoke...and spoke some more. He
affectionately called Ghadafi a "Camel Turd" and they embraced.

Most GOP hopefuls for the 2012 nomination were initially cautious in
their reaction to the news. When it was rumored Ghadafi would speak at
the GOP convention in 2012, most were generous in their praise. One
journalist heard Sarah Palin remark: "I love his outfits!"

MSNBC is reporting that Ghadafi's next stop on a U.S. tour would be
the Oprah Winfrey show were he will announce a new line of men's
clothing: Kool Klothes for Krazy Klowns. It's reported he has
purchased Brooks Brothers Ltd to market the new line.

In related news, a radio station in Florida is saying Rush Limbaugh
arrived at his studio today wearing flowing canary yellow robes and a
flamingo pink Fez. He started off his monologue with the following:

"Today....we are all Libyans!"

P.S. There's a rumor circulation that Roger Ailes may be indicted this
week. If so, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Thanks for all of the political OT posts in a boating group. Maybe dumb
Don will sell you a 1/2 interest in the Yukon for $150.
