MINNEAPOLIS (The Borowitz Report) – Making a joint appearance at a Tea Party rally in Minneapolis, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and Rep. Michele Bachmann put out a cryptic call for “two more horsemen” to join their movement.

“Michele and me, that’s two horsemen right there,” Gov. Palin told the exuberant crowd.  “You add two more horsemen into the mix and we’ll be good to go.”

While the two politicians were cagey about what the duties of the aforementioned horsemen would be, Rep. Bachmann said, “You can bet it will be a mission to end all missions.”

According to a source close to the two politicians, they have already drawn up a list of possible candidates for the additional two horsemen, a list which includes Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Ann Coulter, and the entire Cheney family.

“It’s a long list,” the source said.  “If you add up everyone on the list the number you get is 666.”

The Tea Party rally featuring Palin and Bachmann received wide coverage, including in the collected works of Nostradamus and in the prophecies of ancient Mayans. More here.
