Obama Raids Talk Radio -- Limbaugh Still (At) Large

WASHINGTON D.C. Using a series of Executive orders, President Barack Obama has renamed the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and fundamentally changed its mission. The new organization will be known as the Radio Enforcement Agency and will be headed by Air America talk radio host Rachel Maddow.

Explaining the function of the renamed paramilitary agency, the President said, "The REA will be the enforcement arm of the Federal Communications Commission, and will ensure compliance with the Fairness Doctrine, which was reinstated the afternoon of my inauguration.

President Obama went on to list several networks, along with a number of syndicated radio programs and their hosts who had been on "Double Secret Probation" since the doctrine was reinstated, according to acting FCC Chairman Keith Olbermann.
