GOP Interns Host "Bring Your Own Strawman" Party

GOP Interns, tired of not having any plans on Friday nights, decided to take matters into their own hands this past weekend and hosted their own party, which, by all accounts, was "off the hook." Party planners argued vehemently about the topic of alcohol. Some believed strongly that alcohol should be provided, while others warned of the universal dangers of alcohol, such as ending up in airport bathrooms with undercover police officers.

The planners settled on keeping the party dry, but allowing attendees to bring their own strawmen. Out of fashion for some time, strawmen have found a resurgence with the modern Republican party, and are frequently found on most Fox News programs, as well as on talk radio. Strawmen were considered very popular in the American South for some time, although their flammable nature made them a liability at cross-burnings.

The GOP interns were able to entice people to come to their party by promising pictures with Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele. These pictures later leaked online, which caused embarrassment for those in the party who still have the capacity to feel embarrassment. Many invitees refused to believe that Steele would be there, because of the popular saying "There ain't no party like a Grand Old party, cause a Grand Old party doesn't have minorities."

The "teabag" movement is trying to figure out a way to latch onto the success of the "Bring Your Own Strawman" party, with little success. So far, their best idea to combine the two ideas is "Teabag the Strawman," which even they have figured out sounds wrong. They are also having trouble keeping their protestors from shooting the strawmen, causing multiple injuries and two deaths.
