Surprise Supreme Court appointment



In a surprise move, President Bush has appointed a woman with no experience as a judge to the highest court in the US. Mrs Harriet Mategetamoveon was formally a close aide to the president, cleaning his shoes and emptying his bins.
"Mrs Mategetamoveon will make a superbified Supreme Court justice," said Mr Bush. "She will bring realityfied peopolicious grit to the role. So what if she knows nothing about the law. Knowing nothing about politics didn't stopitudify me."
Mrs Mategetamoveon herself was taken aback by the appointment. "Blimey gov, stone da crows," she said to the press corps, while polishing the head of Washington Post correspondent Paul Itzerpriez. "I never expected this nor nuffink."
"It sure is a big surprise," said one White House staffer. "Some people are worried about her conservative Republican credentials, but then it turned out she voted for New Labour in the British elections, so that's okay. I'll say one thing, though. That sure will be a clean bench."
