Satire: Ebola Czar Said to Be "Leading by Example"

Since he was appointed as President Obama's "Ebola Czar," Ron Klain has disappeared from sight. Presidential Press Secretary Josh Earnest tried to reassure the media, saying that "I recognize that all of you have not had a chance to see him and talk to him every day, but the President certainly has."

Klain's exceptionally "low profile" is "all according to plan," Earnest said. "Ron is leading by example. The best way not to get the disease is by scrupulously avoiding contact with anyone who might be infected. By staying out of sight and not venturing forth to meet anyone for any reason he is keeping himself safe from infection."

"We are hoping that this exemplary self-discipline will serve as a model for voluntary compliance with the President's desire that people take precautions on their own," Earnest added. "The fact that Ron can do this by himself demonstrates that we do not need a quarantine on travelers from the west African nations currently being ravaged by the disease."

"Let me close by assuring the American people that their worst fear regarding this deadly disease has virtually no chance of coming about," Earnest promised. "The President is, and will be, protected at all times. No one who has any prospect of carrying this infection will be permitted within spitting or sneezing range. The Secret Service has been instructed to use lethal force, if necessary, to insure his safety."

Slow night John? This is the third story of the day, by my count...of course, I did master mathematics by learning the Common Core method...so I subtracted 49 from 4566 to get 27, multiplied that by 10 and then called my great grandmother in Brazil who used her calculator to tell me that the total was 3...I start as a NASA engineer next Tuesday, BTW, so’s you know that I is smart...
