Network of the Living Dead

CNN executives announced today that they will not bury the badly decomposed corpse of columnist and on-air personality Robert Novak, despite complaints from producers that the stench of his putrifying flesh is making it difficult to book guests for the network's talk shows.

"We realize some viewers may be unsettled by the sight of a rotting pile of maggot-infested tissue on their living room TV screens," explained CNN/US president Jonathan Klein. "But Novak has a contract, and we feel that as long as we can squeeze a little more free publicity out of his legal and ethical problems, we have no choice but to keep him on the air."

Klein refused to comment on a recent outbreak of typhus at CNN studios in Washington that left five of Novak's makeup artists dead and 23 hospitalized, citing pending litigation. He also declined comment on the alleged involvement of Novak's personal chef in an interstate grave-robbing conspiracy.

"Most zombie journalists have higher standards than that," explained one network source, speaking on quadruple super duper secret sauce background. "And the others are either in jail or have already been signed by Fox."

1. How come you never hear about 'goodly decomposed' bodies ?

Doesn't that make 'badly' kind of redundant ?

3. What about King Tut?

All we ever hear is how "wonderfully preserved" his corpse is.

4. I'm sure that

some badly decomposed bodies have goodly wives. That's something

6. Well, it means an extended state of decomposition...

but, in Novak's case, I would say, as he did journalism 'badly' and ethics 'badly,' anything else he would do would be done badly, as well.
