Republican Party Officially Endorses Treason

Atlanta, Georgia - In a startling development, all ten men vying for the nomination to be the Republican presidential candidate have come out strongly in favor of treason. To a man, every single one has said that Scooter Libby should be pardoned and that they are solidly in favor of outing covert CIA agents for political reasons.

Commenting on the controversial Republican Party position to condone the betrayal of the country for partisan political gain, Rudy Giuliani, one time US Attorney and former mayor of New York, said "Like my fellow candidates, I am a Republican first and an American second. Sure, our national security was severely damaged by Scooter Libby and many innocent lives placed in jeopardy, but we Republicans have to stick together no matter what, even if it means harming the security and welfare of the United States."

All other nine candidates and former Senator Fred Thompson nodded in agreement with Giuliani.
