The puported terrorist attack of Karl Rove's million dollar Florida home by a group of state sponsored Venezuelan terrorists that killed his seventeen year-old son Andrew and two dozen other young men as they were conducting a Republican Youth meeting was actually the result of a Punk'd prank gone terribly awry, according to the sole survivor of the incident.

Mark Twellman, a sound engineer who worked on the MTV show known for pulling elaborate practical jokes on celebrities recounted, "Andrew was a fan of the show, proposed we prank his dad, and since we'd never punk'd a political celebrity before, it sounded like a good idea at the time."

According to Twellman, the prank was designed to synchronize the famed political strategist's arrival for a planned vacation with the unfolding of a wild homosexual themed party hosted by his son at the estate, but Rove's reaction turned out to be anything but humorous.

"Andrew met Karl on the foyer dressed in a pair of skimpy pink latex bottoms and a feather boa in the midst of a debaucherous party complete with scantily clad men, transexual trapeze artists, barnyard animals and so forth, but instead of the hilarious sort of freaked out response we had anticipated, Rove didn't flinch. He just turned and left the house without a word," described Twellman, "And so we were all just sort of standing around confused for about half an hour until a bunch of guys dressed in black armed with machine guns stormed the place and started blowing everyone away."

Continued an emotional Twellman: "I somehow escaped and made it into the surrounding woods just as a jet screamed overhead and the shockwave of a bomb blast launched me into a tree, knocking me unconscious."

In contradiction with Twellman's account, the official report of the incident released by the government contends that Rove's estate was bombed by Venezuelan terrorists sponsored by the South American nation's socialist leader Hugo Chavez while CNN and Fox News have both reported in recent hours that a suicide note discovered at the home of Ashton Kutcher suggests the Punk'd show host killed himself after becoming despondent over the realization that he is balding.

Spoke White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, "Today's assassination attempt of Karl Rove by the rogue state of Venezuela will not go unpunished. Such unprovoked acts of terror call for swift reprisal, and so such shall be pursued against the murderous regime of Hugo Chavez."
