The Papal Coronation of Donald Rumsfeld
Vatican City -- The 117 "Princes of the Church" eligible to elect a pope are already on their way to Rome, Vatican sources have said.
But the Sacred College of Cardinals, in what Vatican scholars can only refer to as an unprecedented move in the over 2,000 year history of the Roman Catholic Church, has agreed to honor -- by unanimous pre-emptive vote -- George W. Bush's appointment of Donald Rumsfeld as Pope Terrifying the Last.
Pope Terrifying the Last will be greeted with flowers and cheers upon his arrival at Vatican City today, according to a Pentagon press release.
The SCoC at first vociferously opposed Bush's neocon inspired Vatican regime change but quickly relented after the Bush administration's Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, appeared before the UN Security Council to present U.S. intelligence information, recently released by Bush's new intelligence czar, John Negroponte, showing what appears to be mobile holy water labs spotted by U.S. satellite reconaissance along the perimeter of Saint Peter's Square.
Further, the existence of documents mentioning yellow cake, suspected to have been obtained at some point through an unnamed foreign bakery by a member of the Vatican's Helvetian Swiss Guard, appears to strengthen the Bush administration's charge that the Vatican may have indeed attempted to acquire nuclear weapons capability.
"We cannot afford to wait until the threat comes in the form of a canole," Rice warned the Security Counsel.
Bush also reminded the world that the Catholic Church had indeed tortured and killed their own people as recently as the Spanish Inquisition. "America refuses to stand by and do nothing while innocent Catholics are suffering at the hands of their despotic leaders. We cannot ignore the threat posed to the entire universe by this Vatican. Let freedom reign," Bush said.
Pope Terrifying the Last's first official act, on advice from his new Vatican Counsel, U.S. AG Alberto Gonzalez, will be to dissolve what AG Gonzalez has referred to as the now "quaint and obsolete" Holy See as well as the Sacred College of Cardinals, which it has been rumored has provided material support to terrorist organizations worldwide.
Pope Terrifying explained these moves by repeating his oft stated belief that America's goals should never be encumbered by any pretext of the existence of a "higher authority" either here on Earth or in Heaven. Allowing what Pope Terrifying reffered to as such "blashpemy" could conceivably lead to problems implementing decisions made during Bush's God approved world rule.
Pope Terrifying also announced that he will confer on Bush the Doctrine of Papal Infallability so that all future decisions made by Bush, as well as all previous decisions no matter how costly they may have been in lives, limbs, U.S. reputation, or tax dollars, can now be recognized as the perfect will of George W. Bush and God -- and therefore always right and sacrosanct.
