House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) announced that his planned investigation into allegations of vote fraud committed by the Association of Community Organization for Reform Now (ACORN) has been canceled by “the powers that be.”
“The President has advised me that it would not be in my best interest to press ahead with what he called ‘a witch hunt,’” Conyers said. “He says enemies of the Party would use evidence from my hearings to fan the flames of seditious resistance to the legitimacy of his administration.”
Conyers said he was told that “failure to nip this in the bud could ultimately lead to the kind of street unrest that is currently threatening the government of Iran. Such unrest would be far more dangerous in the United States because of the widespread ownership of firearms in this country compared to Iran. Unlike Iranians, angry Americans won’t be confined to shouting slogans, burning effigies and tossing rocks.”
“So, to be on the safe side, I decided to call off my investigation,” Conyers concluded.
A dozen lawsuits alleging voter fraud in the 2008 election have been filed against ACORN and its affiliates.
In related news, in a bid to improve its image and reduce its visibility on the web, ACORN has announced a change in the organization’s name to Community Reform Activist Movement (CRAM). “The name ACORN has become tarnished beyond repair,” said spokesman Ivy Chicane. “In many people’s minds it is synonymous with ‘corrupt.’ A new name will help us build a new image and shuck the bad vibes.”

The president tells a congress member what to do. This violates the Constitution. Anyone care?
I care that the law isn’t being followed BY THE WHITE HOUSE!
The sooner they are outta there, the better!
Reality mergers ever so seamlessly with lunacy these days that satire slips quickly past the untrained eye. Nice job.
Please check the source. This is humor, but all humor is based on a kernel of truth.
Folks, wise up. There was never going to be an investigation unless Conyer’s beatch got no more than a 6 month house arrest deal. She does the plea, the Man drops the case and the sentence will be ‘stay at home, woman.” Next thing you know, she will run for Mayor of Detroit. The hood is running the game. This phuking Kenyan and his minions have, as the lyrics go, only just begun.
Response: Of course.
Skirting his constitutional duties is what democRATs do best. We operate under a dictatorship, clearly.
“The President has advised me that it would not be in my best interest to press ahead with what he called ‘a witch hunt,’
Um... John? This statement alone is going to do that.
Dumbasses. Do they really think this is going to end well for them?
Still, it sounds like something they'd do. :-|
OH NO Corruption and deals made within the dim party?
I’m shocked, shocked that gambling is going on here.
I did not have sex with that woman, Monica Lewinski.
Louisiana rep has $90,000 in cash in his freezer. Nothing here, move on.
Boy, to quote Winnie the Pooh, this gets curiouser and curiouser.
Where is the media?
Duh, they have been paid off.
THUGOCRACY ALERT!
Don't you just love these scum sucking dirt bags? I don't mean to demean scum sucking dirt bags, because I actually think these people are lower than that.
From one thug to another.

(Thanks hoosiermama.)
What part of “separation of powers” doesn’t zero understand? Oh, I get it—he thinks he’s in charge of all three branches.
I seriously doubt that that slime Conyers ever had any intention of investigating his vote stealing outfit in the first place.
It's cruel....but fun.
