MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) -- Making a joint appearance at a Tea Party rally in Minneapolis, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn) put out a cryptic call for "two more horsemen" to join their movement.
"Michele and me, that's two horsemen right there," Gov. Palin told the exuberant crowd. "You add two more horsemen into the mix and we'll be good to go."
While the two politicians were cagey about what the duties of the aforementioned horsemen would be, Rep. Bachmann said, "You can bet it will be a mission to end all missions."
According to a source close to the two politicians, they have already drawn up a list of possible candidates for the additional two horsemen, a list which includes Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and the entire Cheney family.
"It's a long list," the source said. "If you add up everyone on the list the number you get is 666."
The Tea Party rally featuring Palin and Bachmann received wide coverage, including in the collected works of Nostradamus and in the prophecies of ancient Mayans. More here.

In her diatribe last night, Ms. Cheney accused the President of being an apologist for America, for abandoning our allies and for appeasing our enemies. She truly accepts the notion that if all you have is a hammer, the whole world looks to be a nail.

While Democrats and the Obama White House continue to take jabs at Sarah Palin, the fact remains they can't resist rising to her bait. Meanwhile, when you look to the left, there is no anti-Palin, no woman even close to competing with her star power.
