President Saddam Hussein of Iraq dropped between one and two feet of snow on the Northeastern United States today, closing airports and creating hazardous driving conditions, President George W. Bush revealed.

“To those in the world who say that Mr. Saddam Hussein poses no threat, I’d ask you to take a look outside your window,” President Bush said in a White House press briefing this afternoon.
“It’s a freaking mess out there.”

While President Bush offered no concrete evidence of a Saddam-snowstorm connection, he said that Secretary of State Colin Powell would be sharing satellite proof in the days ahead of a link between Saddam Hussein, al Qaeda, the blizzard, and the new ABC series entitled “Are You Hot?”

At the Weather Channel, meteorologists were “taken aback” by Mr. Bush’s accusation of a link between Saddam Hussein and the worst blizzard in nearly a decade, calling any such claim
“extraordinary.”
