OT Downing Street Memo a Fake, Says Eminent Grammarian

<CITE:http://www.deadbrain.com/news/article_2005_06_27_1208.php>

The secret Downing Street Memo, purportedly showing that the Bush
Administration deceived the American people about reasons for going to
war in Iraq, is a fake, the Official White House Propaganda Channel
announced today.

In an exclusive interview with Fox News, Joffrey Ramsbottom, Professor
Emeritus of Neurolinguistics and Glottopsychiatry at Hors D'Oeuvre
State University in Gotchomama Parish, just outside New Orleans,
explained that the "DSM" is an obvious fraud.

"The so-called 'secret memo' was actually typed on a 1968 vintage
Remington portable typewriter by a team of twelve Rhesus monkeys. We
did a series of demanding computer tests, ran it through the particle
accelerator and the cyclotron, and it came up literally screaming
'fake'."

Obtained and published on May 1 by the Sunday Times of London, the
Downing Street Memo was authored by MI6 agent Rycroft Holmes and
distributed to top secret British intelligence officials. Dated July
23, 2002, and copied to the British Defence Minister, Foreign Minister,
Attorney General, and Sally Morgan, it allegedly shows that the Bush
White House was already planning to invade Iraq using fraudulent
evidence of nonexistent Weapons of Mass Destruction. It also hints that
George and Laura Bush and the British Prime Minister and his wife had
engaged in skinny-dipping and wife-swapping in the Thames River earlier
that month.

"I can't comment on the wife-swapping bit, but the stuff about WMDs is
absolutely false," concluded Dr. Ramsbottom.

In addition to having edited the recent definitive 38-volume English
Grammar for Dummies, Ramsbottom is also the author of Wine and Spam: A
Provencal Cookbook.

Would this be Eliphalet or Frederic Remington?

How pierceful grows the hazy yon!
How myrtle petaled thou!
For spring hath sprung the cyclotron,
How high browse thou, brown cow?

Wonder where they got the 68 Remington, I haven't seen one of those in
ages. Garage sale perhaps?

The rhesus are really quite good at typeing, no kidding.
