Embattled Rove Seeks Asylum In Scarborough Country

SCARBOROUGH COUNTRY—Diplomatic sources reported Monday that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove has sought asylum in the conservative stronghold of Scarborough Country. “During his June 23 visit, Mr. Rove had indicated he might petition us for sanctuary from media persecution,” said Joe Scarborough, the monarchical ruler of Scarborough Country. “And in my country, no passports are required and only common sense is allowed.” While officials review Rove’s asylum request, he is being held in the No-Spin Zone, a region of absolute neutrality governed by commentator Bill O’Reilly.
