CLINTON, CALLING HERSELF THE ONLY PATRIOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT, ANNOUNCES SHE WILL GET FLAG TATTOO ACROSS LEFT BREAST

(Indianapolis ) - Senator Hillary Clinton announced that she is having the American flag tattooed across her left breast and challenged her rival, Senator Barack Obama, to prove his loyalty to his country by doing the same. “The American people have the right to know their President will make sacrifices on their behalf,” she said. “And if that means sacrificing my dignity by allowing some hippie freak to spend a couple of hours painting Old Glory across this bad boy with a sterilized needle and ink, then that’s what I’ll do.”

Senator Clinton unbuttoned her blouse for reporters in a crowded downtown coffee house and, gently cupping her exposed breast in her hand, showed exactly where the tattoo would rest. “I have always kept my country close to my heart,” she said. “Now it will be there forever, both figuratively and literally.”

Informed that Senator Obama called news of her pending visit to The Jester’s Court Skin Parlor “a cheap and tawdry stunt designed to appeal to voter’s emotions,” the former first lady bristled. “My opponent once again displays his elitism before the people of Indiana and North Carolina,” she said. “Since when did getting a tattoo make a middle-aged woman look cheap?”
