Frist Links ANWR Oil to NY Times Immunity Bill Satire from ScrappleFace By Scott Ott on U.S. News (2005-12-21) — After failing to block a Democrat filibuster of a Senate defense bill which carried a provision to allow oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist said he would employ a rare parliamentary maneuver to finally achieve passage for the ANWR measure. “Today, we’ll introduce a bill to grant pre-emptive immunity from prosecution for treason to The New York Times and any government official who leaked classified information to the Times about the NSA anti-terrorist eavesdropping program,” said Sen. Frist. “The immunity bill will carry the ANWR drilling measure as an amendment. With support from the full Democrat caucus and our progressive Republican friends, it’s a slam dunk.” Dr. Frist said Democrats will be so eager to approve the measure, “they won’t even read the amendments.” “If this doesn’t work,” he added, “I’ll put the ANWR rider on our motion to adjourn for the year. Either of those options will be more effective than attaching it to a defense spending bill. What was I thinking?” scrappleface.com
