Not even Secretary of Humor Sock Puppet is immune to the threat of anthrax. "This sucks," he said.
While President Bush is in China for a summit, anthrax fears continue to plague America. The past two weeks has seen an increase in the amount of people affected by the biological agent, with more discovered nearly every day.
Employees at American Media in Florida, NBC and CBS in New York, and members of Tom Daschle's office have all been exposed to anthrax spores. The quality of the anthrax found in Daschle's office was of refined nature, causing the House to be closed until Monday for a biological sweep and cleanup.
Now comes word that Sock Puppet, the controversial Secretary of Humor (See Bush Appoints...) has become infected with it. According to Puppet, he believes he became infected by a pile of white powder found on President Bush's desk early Thursday morning.
"Since the powder was on the president's desk I figured it was, well, you know. So I took it in the can and snorted it right down. Of course, I began to get a little worried when I didn't get a buzz. Then later I started feeling all sick like."
Although there are still no direct links to the terrorist organizations tied to the deadly September 11th attacks, suspicion is heavily leaning towards them.
"It's just another good reason to kick their asses," said President Bush from China. "That'll teach those goofy bastards to send American peoples those ant tracks letters."
