Daisy is stalking Kerry
a spoof by Roger Wm. Hughes

Sen. John Kerry has been plagued by an insidious problem since his vacation. The Secret Service has tried to keep it quiet, but now the truth is coming out.

The incident of the Secret Service agent running into Kerry was no accident. The agent was actually trying to tackle a daisy, which had suddenly shown up after Kerry bought a new ski coat. The daisy appeared to be attacking, uhm, the Senator’s private parts.

There is a rumor that this is why Kerry has not been a forceful candidate.

National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice has been blamed for the incident, despite her denial of any involvement. Former terrorism expert Richard Clarke has blamed the incident on terrorists and the Bush Administration’s failure to take his daisy warning seriously. Meanwhile, John Dean indicated that it was just another case of President Bush’s lying to the American public and a need for impeachment proceedings to begin.

While sighting of the daisy was principally while Kerry was on the slopes in Idaho, there have been continuous reports on a number of websites showing evidence of further daisy sightings. It seems that spoofs of major magazines have even surfaced.

This daisy seems to create a significant credibility gap for the Kerry campaign. Questions remain as to whether Kerry is fit to be President if he can’t solve the problem of the stalking daisy.

Meanwhile, the American public continues on the Daisy Watch. Will the Kerry campaign prove it is capable of handling this crushing blow to the Kerry’s candidacy?
