Great satire, but shouldn't you credit the person who wrote the "article"?

ROVE BLOWS SURPRISE PARTY FOR FIRST LADY
President 'Hopping Mad' Over Advisor's Latest Leak

President Bush is said to be "hopping mad" over reports that deputy chief
of staff Karl Rove wrecked a surprise party the president had been
planning for First Lady Laura Bush by leaking details of the party to Mrs.
Bush before it took place, White House sources said today.

According to the sources, Mr. Bush had been meticulously planning to
surprise Mrs. Bush with a "Welcome Home" party upon her return from her
goodwill trip to Africa, even going so far as to decorate her office with
streamers and blow up dozens of balloons himself.

The president was determined that the party be a surprise, warning all
White House staffers to keep the secret, "cross their hearts and hope to
die," sources said.

But according to insiders, Mr. Rove "just couldn't resist blabbing" about
the party to the First Lady, placing a call to Mrs. Bush in Tanzania to
inform her that she should be prepared for a "big blow-out" when she got
back to Washington.

Mr. Bush, who has reportedly been taking a wait-and-see attitude about Mr.
Rove's alleged leak of a CIA operative's identity, told staffers that if
in fact Mr. Rove wrecked the First Lady's surprise party, "He's toast."

Mr. Bush has ordered a full investigation of the surprise party leak, but
in the meantime, according to one source, "The standard operating
procedure around here is, if you've got a secret, don't tell Karl."

Elsewhere, organizers of the Tour de France announced today that, to save
everyone time and effort, Lance Armstrong has won the race through the
year 2018.
