The TV news lead with footage shot on the White House lawn before dawn.
The Vice President was caught prowling the grounds like some ancient bald
werewolf, naked from the waist down, bits of rusted clockwork falling out
of his ass like rabbit droppings. He'd ripped open the front of his shirt
and unsealed a blood-encrusted hatch in his chest. The Vice President was
holding his own heart in his left hand, a grey and withered thing, and was
repeatedly punching it with his right hand. After eight or nine blows, it
started twitching. Satisfied, he re-installed the near-terminal meat in
his chest. It was only then that he noticed the camera. The Vice
President snarled, "Of COURSE I'm still fit to lead the country!"
The news kindly glossed over the apparent error in his comment.
