(Cue Nightline theme: bah bah BAH bah.)

TED KOPPEL: Good evening, I'm Ted Koppel and this is Nightline. We take you now to ABC News reporter Karen Ryan outside the presidential compound in Waco, Texas, where cult leader Tom DeLay and his "Ranch Davidians" have been holding the Republican Party hostage for almost three months now. What's the situation there, Karen?

(Cut to stand up shot of Karen Ryan and a tired looking David Duchovny in an FBI windbreaker)

RYAN: It's been another long, tense day here, Ted, as federal authorities continue to negotiate with the House Majority Leader. I have Special Agent Fox Mulder of the FBI here with me. He's been on the phone with Mr. DeLay for most of the day. Agent Mulder?

MULDER: It's a tough situation, Karen. We know DeLay and his followers are heavily armed, and they have enough food and water and campaign contributions stockpiled in there to hold out almost indefinitely. Plus, we still don't know if the President is one of the hostages or one of the cult members. We hear a lot of rumors, but at this point we haven't gotten any hard information from the White House on where he stands in this thing.

2. Funny, but scary

Well written, up there in the hierarchy of satire.
