WHITE HOUSE ACCIDENTALLY SCREENS 'BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN'
Cheney, Rove Injured in Stampede for Exit

In what the official White House spokesman today called "a regrettable mistake," the White House had a private screening last night of the critically acclaimed gay western, "Brokeback Mountain."

One day after the ill-fated screening, spokesman Scott McClellan said that the White House had launched a "full investigation" to find out how "Brokeback," which features actors Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal as gay ranch hands, found its way into the White House screening room.

According to one source, however, the decision to screen the film was made by the president himself, who thought that the two ranch hands would be mainly occupied with clearing brush, as he himself is fond of doing at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.

Additionally, the source said, the film was directed by Ang Lee, who directed one of President Bush's all-time favorite films, "The Hulk."

Eyewitnesses at the screening said that seconds into the film's first explicit man-on-man love scene, shrieks of alarm rose up from the audience and there was a frantic stampede for the exit.

In the ensuing chaos, vice president Dick Cheney reportedly trampled top advisor Karl Rove, with both men reportedly receiving medical attention for injuries sustained in the fracas.

Mr. McClellan said that the White House would take "better care" to make sure that films with gay content do not find their way into the screening room, adding, "We feel more optimistic about tonight's double feature,'Capote' and 'Rent.'"
