Bush Enlists Dept. of Defense to Help Find Presidential Easter Basket

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Just Laugh) – Today President Bush announced at an Executive Press Conference from the White House that after three long and arduous days, he would be receiving some additional assistance from his “boys in blue” to help finally discover the hidden location of the basket of goodies left for the President by the Easter Bunny himself last Easter Sunday.

“Boy, I tell you – that bunny really got me good this year,” Bush joked to reporters earlier this morning, “but no furry rabbit is going to get the best of me, which is why I’m calling in the best that America has to offer to help me track down that Easter basket once and for all! I’ve already began working with a number of top Pentagon officials, whose names I would share if they weren’t classified, to put together a list of all of the places around the White House that I’ve already looked, so it won’t be long before that bunny starts singing a different tune…”

In a private aside after the conference, First Lady Laura Bush commented, “I’m really very proud of George for holding out as long as he did. He’s been searching this place high and low for the last three days and still hasn’t found his basket, so I’m sure we’ll all be very surprised to finally see where the Easter Bunny chose this year.”

Although details specific to the Pentagon’s latest mission, appropriately entitled Operation: Easter Basket, are quite limited due to the mission’s “sensitive nature,” it was reported that once a list of the President’s previously checked places has been compiled, the grounds of the White House will subsequently be divided into quadrants, with various Strategic Forces units assigned to each. The mission’s timeframe was reported as significantly lower than most Pentagon operations, driven primarily by the President’s overwhelming cries for the Cadbury Crème Eggs that he looks forward to each year from the Easter Bunny.
