WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Borowitz Report) Amid concerns that the spreading fear of Ebola has become a greater threat than the virus itself, a new poll shows that a majority of Americans favor a quarantine of the CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer.
While poll respondents supported quarantining more than a dozen cable-news personalities, including the entire cast of Fox & Friends, a full seventy-two per cent gave the nod to a quarantine of Blitzer.
At the Centers for Disease Control, a spokesman said that a Blitzer quarantine was very much on the table, and that the C.D.C. had come up with a workable plan.
Essentially, we would do a lockdown of The Situation Room and provide Wolf with food and water until the crisis passes, he said.
