Col. Sanders, Capt. Crunch decry lack of Air Force rep for Joint Chiefs of snack

Filed · 1532

WASHINGTON — Col. Sanders and Capt. Crunch, the longest serving members of the Joint Chiefs of Snack, have spoken publicly about their frustration that the current administration has yet to appoint an Air Force representative to the Joint Chiefs of Snack, sources confirmed today.

“This is an outrage,” said the Cap’n at a press conference Tuesday. “The Air Force nomination of Toucan Sam, a fine flyer who would have been the first openly-gay member of the Joint Chiefs, should have been approved. Now, Tony ‘the flying’ Tiger’s appointment has been sitting in Congress for months with no movement. It’s not grrr-eat.”

The nomination of Sam, who had a long and notable career in aviation, was halted by media attention over his involvement in the Froot Loops scandal.
