House Planned Parenthood "investigators" are smoking crack... (satire)

Yes, this is satire.
(But it could easily BE true!)

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Despite the fact that an independent investigator hired by Planned Parenthood to do forensic testing on sting videos released by The Center for Medical Progress - a strident anti-abortion rights group - found that not only were the admittedly edited videos altered, but the so-called source videos were as well, Congressional Republicans began hearings on the videos this week. Many critics of the hearings point to the forensic evidence as well as the fact that investigations in no less than five states have cleared Planned Parenthood of the allegations made by the CMP as evidence that the GOP is staging political theater and putting the health of millions of women at risk in the process. However, a new explanation has emerged from sources close to several top House Republicans as to why the hearings are going forth when to so many millions of Americans this is nothing more than a witch hunt.

"Our bosses smoked just enough crack to make the videos believable," one source close to Speaker John Boehner said, on condition of anonymity. The Boehner aide said that "since anyone with half a brain cell can understand what's going on here" that the GOP establishment decided "to require all the Republican caucus members to smoke whatever amount of crack cocaine would be necessary to treat the highly-doctored videos as something other than obvious propaganda."
