- In a recent speech, Bush Calls
- Iraq, Iran and North Korea "Axis of
- Evil" -- N.Y. Times, 1/30/02. ANGERED
- BY SNUBBING, LIBYA, CHINA, SYRIA FORM
- AXIS OF JUST AS EVIL Cuba, Sudan,
- Serbia Form Axis of Somewhat Evil;
- Other Nations Start Own Clubs.
-
- Beijing (SatireWire.com) - Bitter
- after being snubbed for membership in
- the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and
- Syria today announced they had formed
- the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they
- said would be way eviler than that
- stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis
- President Bush warned of his State of
- the Union address.
-
- Axis of Evil members, however,
- immediately dismissed the new axis as
- having, for starters, a really dumb
- name. "Right. They are Just as Evil...
- in their dreams!" declared North
- Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody
- knows we're the best evils... best at
- being evil... we're the best."
-
- Diplomats from Syria denied they
- were jealous over being excluded,
- although they conceded they did ask if
- they could join the Axis of Evil.
-
- "They told us it was full," said
- Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An
- Axis can't have more than three
- countries," explained Iraqi President
- Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule,
- it's tradition. In World War II you
- had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the
- evil Axis. So you can only have three.
- And a secret handshake. Ours is wicked
- cool."

- [ THE AXIS PANDEMIC]
-
- International reaction to Bush's
- Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as
- within minutes, France surrendered.
-
- Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations
- rushed to gain triumvirate status in
- what became a game of geopolitical
- chairs. Cuba, Sudan and Serbia said
- they had formed the Axis of Somewhat
- Evil, forcing Somalia to join with
- Uganda and Myanmar in the Axis of
- Occasionally Evil, while Bulgaria,
- Indonesia and Russia established the
- Axis of Not So Much Evil Really As
- Just Generally Disagreeable.
-
- With the criteria suddenly
- expanded and all the desirable clubs
- filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador,
- and Rwanda applied to be called the
- Axis of Countries That Aren't the
- Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to
- Host the Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and
- Australia formed the Axis of Nations
- That Are Actually Quite Nice But
- Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About
- America, while Spain, Scotland, and
- New Zealand established the Axis of
- Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep
- to Wear Lipstick.
-
- "That's not a threat, really, just
- something we like to do," said
- Scottish Executive First Minister Jack
- McConnell.
-
- While wondering if the other
- nations of the world weren't perhaps
- making fun of him, a cautious Bush
- granted approval for most axes,
- although he rejected the establishment
- of the Axis of Countries Whose Names
- End in "Guay," accusing one of its
- members of filing a false application.
- Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and
- Chadguay denied the charges.
-
- Israel, meanwhile, insisted it
- didn't want to join any Axis, but
- privately, world leaders said that's
- only because no one asked them.
