Bush Nominates Nanny to Replace Kerik
by Scott Ott

(2004-12-11) -- Just hours after Bernard Kerik withdrew his name from consideration as the next director of Homeland Security, President George Bush is reportedly set to nominate his replacement.

A senior administration official said the nomination would likely go to the illegal alien who once worked for Mr. Kerik as a nanny and was paid "under the table."

"The president sees the nanny nomination as win-win-win on several fronts," said the unnamed official. "She obviously knows how to penetrate our borders, so she'll be terrific running Homeland Security. As a gainfully-employed illegal alien, she'll help promote Mr. Bush's guest worker visa initiative. And since Kerik didn't pay into Social Security for her, she'll help Bush promote private retirement accounts."

The White House is withholding the name of the alleged nominee until she can be located and naturalized.

Yes, Gordon, I've mentioned that several times.

Ron, response to myself? I thought it was funny. Scrappleface is a very good satire site. If you want me to comment on Kerik, I'll just say that whether he had an illegal immigrant nanny or not, that wasn't why he was forced to withdraw his name.

I think the line "The White House is withholding the name of the alleged nominee until she can be located and naturalized" is the funniest (and nastiest). As pointed out in the Kerik thread, Kerik's nanny remains a mysterious figure. Surely a reporter or two has been assigned to find this person....

I hope it isn't Fran. I couldn't stand the announcements.
