Wait, you're saying it didn't actually happen like that?
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Uh, you do realize that's a humor piece by Paul (In & Out, Addams Family Values, etc.) Rudnick, right?
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."

I just read the NYT Bush/Kerry piece. It's hysterical! And he hits a lot of the badfic cliches. Yeah it's intentional bad fic, but it's still BadFic.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola
Well, I don't know about that. I'd say it was intentional badfic, though.
ETA: Or, what askye said. Also, I had that Smallville flashback. I was rather fond of that story.
Oh, oh! I got feedback for the Smallville dancefic story today! What was that, two, two and a half years ago? Somebody actually recommended it as a favorite club story!

Well, as long as he wasn't aiming for goodfic. Because he missed.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm actually surprised there's any doubt that it was a spoof. It's hard to write that funny by accident, at least if you're a good writer to start with.
