Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson Appears on Toast

Senator Ben Nelson is toast in Nebraska

Mrs. Harry Prochaska of McCook, Nebraska was certainly surprised last Saturday morning when a piece of toast popped up bearing a striking image of Nebraska's Democrat Senator Ben Nelson. She had Harry take the photograph reproduced above, then reduced the now controversial slice to crumbs for the snow-bound birds in her yard. Explaining why she has no evidence but the picture to support her claim that Senator Nelson is now officially toast, Mrs. Prochaska said, "It was too cold to butter and eat after Harry finished fiddling with his camera."

Nelson staffers were quick to point out that the Nebraska couple "probably cooked up this obvious fake" to humiliate the affable, go-along to get-along politician in the wake of the recent controversy surrounding the Senator's role in the shameful Cornhusker Kickback. Senator Nelson was unavailable for comment, being fully occupied with changing his story on his support for the unpopular "Obama Care" socialized medicine scheme.

The Prochaskas deny they did anything wrong, saying, "We threw the danged thing out, for crying out loud." Several Nelson is Toast offerings have appeared on eBay since the story was published in the McCook Gazette.
