Mitt: The Eight People Have Spoken
DES MOINES (The Borowitz Report) Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney was overjoyed today after finishing the Iowa caucuses in a virtual tie with a walking joke who wears sweater vests.
The eight people have spoken! exclaimed Mr. Romney, who was joined by supporters celebrating his .0006% margin of victory.
The former Massachusetts governor put the best face on his razor-thin lead, telling supporters, Say what you will, but eight votes is still six more than Rick Perry can count.
Historians noted that the last time so few people decided a Presidential race they were all on the Supreme Court.
As for the other candidates, runner-up Rick Santorum said that he had received a phone call from President Obama: He stopped laughing just long enough to say congratulations.
And former House Speaker Newt Gingrich addressed speculation about whether he would leave the race: Not unless it gets cancer.
