Short Satirical Piece

A short piece that I want to use in a satirical piece somewhere about current events around the 2030s: comments?

"Meanwhile, in the White House, Madame President Sarah Palin ordered the White House to be painted in red and blue as well. In a spirit of ultrapatriotism, the West Wing was painted red and the East Wing was painted blue. When the media finally pointed out after Palin's refusal to read any newspapers for the next two weeks that the White House actually resembled the national flag of France, the painters were stoned to death in fear that they would turn into German National Socialists."

If Palin's going to get into the White House it'll be either in 2012 or 2016, not the 2030s. Needs to be shorter and pithier, so I'd get to the punchline quicker.

Although it pains me to say it.

I agree with Chip.
