CIA couple outed by 5-year-old son

The Washington couple at the heart of the CIA leak investigation had their cover blown by their small son as they tried to sneak away on vacation on Thursday.

“My daddy’s famous, my mommy’s a secret spy,” declared the 5-year-old of his parents, former diplomat Joe Wilson and retired CIA operative Valerie Plame.

President Bush called for an investigation into the leak, dispatching two dozen Secret Service agents to apprehend the boy before he could escape on an overseas flight.

After 14 hours of intense interrogation, the boy confessed to leaking his mother’s undercover CIA status to conservative pundit Robert Novak. In addition, he made the shocking revelation that his mother has been working deep undercover as … Santa Claus.

Stunned by the allegations, President Bush demanded that an immediate inquiry be launched by the FBI’s North Pole office. He also ordered the Postal Service to intercept his letter to Santa, holding it in a secure location in the National Archives until the investigation is complete.

In a nationally televised speech, the President addressed the issue. “If this boy is telling the truth — and I know I speak for all of America when I say we pray that he is not — we are looking at the biggest scandal since the Easter Bunny incident of 1978.”

“First, the Easter Bunny. Now, Santa Claus. What’s next … the Tooth Fairy?”
