DEMOCRATS
AND REPUBLICANS TO MERGE—DEPUBLICRAT MASCOT TO BE FLESH-EATING BACTERIUM
WASHINGTON
,
DC
(RHP)
Plans
of a merger between the two major parties leaked out a week early this
morning when a senior Democrat strategist and a senior Republican
strategist bumped into each other on a busy
Washington
,
DC
, sidewalk, spilling the contents of their briefcases into the street.
An
investigative reporter at the scene accidentally mixed parts of the
Democrat plan with parts of the Republican plan, creating a savory mix
that, apparently, neither party could resist.
“This
isn’t how we wanted to announce the merger,” said a spokesperson for
the newly formed Depublicrat Party. “But the symbolic value of that
little mixup just seemed too perfect to pass up. It was as if a television
commercial had literally written itself.”
By
coincidence, reporters and camera crews passing by on an airport shuttle
caught the whole scene on tape. A television commercial is indeed in the
works, to be released nationwide when a formal announcement of the merger
is made next week.
Also
leaked were sketches of the Depublicrat Party’s mascot—a stylized
cartoon of a flesh-eating bacterium.
