2003-08-15) -- U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NYArk, said today that the electrical power grid in America "suddenly became antiquated early last year, and George Bush hasn't done a thing about it."

"When my husband was in office, the power grid was like new," said Sen. Clinton. "But right after he left, the grid got all rusty and decayed...like some form of mechanical progeria. But President Bush was so distracted by the war on Iraq that he has tragically inconvenienced 50 million people."

The Senator said she will introduce a bill today nationalizing the electricity industry, and putting it under the control of Morgan Freeman, who was a prominent member of the 1970s PBS children's show The Electric Company.

Old Crusty was being interviewed by someone or other and told them she lost power in the outage, too. Later she slipped up and had to admit that her house has emergency generators supplied for her security and her lights were blazing away just fine.

"But right after he, ya know, left, the grid got all rusty and decayed...like some form of mechanical, um, progeria. But President Bush was, like, so distracted by the war on Iraq that he has tragically inconvenienced, ya know, 50 million people."

Better?

This is a joke, right? There is no way she would say this.

Not having frequented Scrappleface, is that like The Onion?
