Curious George calls for investigation

By
John Breneman

Curious George today demanded a congressional investigation
into the Bush administration’s handling of pre-war intelligence
to justify launching military action against Iraq.

Citing a growing "curiosity" in both the human
and simian communities as to why the nation was guaranteed
Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction when,
in fact, he did not, the adorable children’s book icon suggested
President Bush and his "handlers" may be guilty
of "mischief," or perhaps even outright "monkeyshines."

Anonymous administration insiders dismissed the criticism
as "the banana-fueled rantings of a dirty, ignorant ape"
and leaked the information that Mr. George’s closest associate
is a mysterious "man in a yellow hat."

Karl Rove appeared on "Manipulate the Press" to
claim Mr. George has links to an orangutan terror syndicate,
but was pelted in the face with feces before he could begin
his talking points.

The administration backed away from its early strategy of
discrediting Mr. George by citing his lower standing on the
evolutionary scale when it was realized that President Bush,
despite his uncanny resemblance to a wise-cracking chimp,
does not believe in evolution.
