It's funny because it's true

Best “Onion” headline in quite some time: “Cheney Wows Sept. 11 Commission By Drinking Glass Of Water While Bush Speaks.” Though it definitely faces competition from this one from the same issue: “Libertarian Reluctantly Calls Fire Department.”

Comments

Yeah, the "Libertarian reluctantly..." headline was pretty funny, but the follow-up was a little weak.

oh come on! I loved the "Also, my house was burning down." But, I think it is almost always true that the humor of any Onion articule peaks at the headline.

That's true. Except with the Jim Anchower columns, which are consistently the funniest thing in the Onion.

Wow. If you run a yahoo search for "Cheney wows Sept. 11 commission by drinking glass of water while Bush speaks," selling waves is number two on the list, while The Onion is a measly number four.
