Good GOD -- there's RPS slash in the New Yorker:

July 21, 2004--I had to tell Laura. It was the right thing, the only decent thing, to do. I knew there'd be tears, and I knew she'd need Entenmann's. But I sat her down and I said, "Babe, we've had a good, long run. You made me quit boozing, you've watched me jog, you've shown me what books are for. But we can't live a lie-I love John Kerry." She took a deep, sharp breath. Could she ever forgive me? Could she make any sort of life for herself? "That bitch," she finally hissed. "I knew it. I knew he wanted you. I'm just a small-town Texas librarian; how am I supposed to compete with that?" She called out to the twins, "Jenna! Barbara! Get in here! Your dad's in love with Kerry!" "Duh,? said Barbara. "Double duh,? echoed Jenna. "Should we call him Uncle John, or just Other Dad?" "Everyone in this family is a drunken pig," Laura seethed, lunging for another box of Munchkins.
The funny thing about that is that as soon as I read the bit about him amending the Constitution so they could get married, I was all "oh my God! It's Stargate Jack/Daniel badfic!"
And I thought I was having deja vu from a Smallville story.
Uh, you do realize that's a humor piece by Paul (In & Out, Addams Family Values, etc.) Rudnick, right?
Wait, you're saying it didn't actually happen like that?

No, I thought it was entirely serious and the Bush campaign will be filing a slander suit today.

While I knew it was a humor piece, I didn't know it was by Rudnick. Now I'm picturing Wednesday and Pugsly Addams, holding shovels and looking down with satisfied expressions.
Pugsley: Was he voted out?
Wednesday: Does it matter?
Well, Suela, given that some people were treating it the way they would the stories Dana posts here for people to laugh at, it seemed worth noting that it wasn't in fact "badfic."
