Dr Justice snared in scandal

While telegrams of congratulation  continued to pour in, celebrating today’s appointment of Dr Justice to the coveted top spot in the Ministry of Tourism of newly-independent Azawad,  one sour note was struck.  An alert journalist recalled this little-noticed post from last year:

Tucked away at the bottom, and scarcely remarked at the time  by the press, was this damning fragment:

Just read a very astute reader's comment to that L.A.Times article:

The Bobblehead Brigade. Romney probably thinks he can be President. The rest are in it to sell books.

Brilliant!   I've got a bunch of books myself to sell, and they haven't exactly been moving.  Accordingly,

 I hereby announce my candidacy 
for President of the United States,
running for the Republican Party.

As of press time, Dr Justice had not announced his withdrawal from the race -- indeed, he has vowed “a floor fight like you’ve never seen”  if need be -- and hence finds himself in the legally perilous position of being simultaneously a candidate for the nation’s highest office, and an open agent of a foreign power.    Getting wind of the word, Nominalists began demanding to see the Doctor’s birth certificate, along with the long form of his "so-called Ph.D."

Reached at his crag-top hideaway,  the Doctor scoffed at the charges.

“All of us Republican Presidential candidates are agents of a foreign power.  The difference is that the other candidates are all agents of [name of unnameable nation  redacted] -- unacknowledged agents, moreover, at least on the public square -- whereas I, uniquely, am a publically declared servant of the brave and noble tribesmen of the free and independent Popular Peoples Front for Newly Liberated AZAWAD, whom I am proud to serve.

By the way -- buy my books.”
