Washington announced today that the controversial singer Michael Jackson has been appointed Secretary of State in President-elect Barack Obama's cabinet.
Press correspondents thought it was a typo error; however, White House officials confirmed that the 'King of Pop' will be taking up the most senior position in power next to the Chief Executive.
Most senior Washington elites were flabbergasted at the announcement.
Obama's new chief of staff, who wished to be nameless, said Jackson will be an asset to the upper echelons of government power. "CHANGE is what this administration is about," he reminded reporters. "Besides, Michael's moonwalking dance will astound any world leader."
Rumors have been swirling about what role infamous blogger Thomas Tarquin Churchwell will play in the senior diplomatic service. A government official said Churchwell has been appointed a mediator in the battle between the Tootseys and Hutoos in the African Congo.
"I've been packing all day," Churchwell told The Online Report.
