Republicans to Discontinue Use of E-Mail
WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)Citing the scandals embroiling Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, the Republican Governors Association today ordered its members to discontinue the use of e-mail, effective immediately.
According to a memo sent to all Republican governors, Any plots, schemes, conspiracies, or violations of campaign-finance laws should be conducted using pay phones or easily disposable cell phones such as the ones used on The Wire. The governors were instructed to read the memo once and then either burn or eat it.
Asked to comment on the new policy, Governor Walkers office responded, The recipients e-mail address was not found in the recipients e-mail system. Please check the e-mail address and try resending this message. ...............

has it over all the other political satirists these days. He is better, by far, than the Onion. Love him.
