An eerie incident during tonight's Democratic debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has mystics, psychics, and conspiracy theorists agog over Ms. Clinton's apparent possession by the spirit of John McCain.

"It was about the weirdest thing I've ever seen-- I mean much weirder than than the WTC mysteriously falling in on itself, or even George Bush shape-shifting into a reptilian alien. When her face started changing into John McCain's, I almost peed my pants," said Norma the Space Psychic, who communicates telepathically with higher intelligences in Andromeda. "I mean it was downright spooky."

"Only people who are attuned to the higher realms of akashic thought could see it," said Sonya Fitzpatrick, pet psychic. "I saw it and my cat, Ishtar IV, almost jumped through the TV. It was lucky that I had her on an astral chain. She might've hurt herself. I mean the cat, not Hillary."

George Stephanopolous, a moderator at the debate, was not sure if he had seen the change or not. "I did notice the senator from New York bashing the Reverend Wright and trying to act like a gun-totin', lapel-flag-wearin' Republican, but that's not unusual. I have to admit I did get a strange feeling though, kind of like just before an electrical storm hits, when she looked at me; but a lot of people react like that when she looks at them."

"Oh yeah, I saw it," said Geraldo Rivera, who plays a reporter on Fox News. "How could you miss it? The change has been coming on for months. It's gradual, but noticeable. Her throwing back that shot and a beer in Indiana was a sure tipoff. We'll be interviewing her about it soon."

"There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the change," explained George Ribbit, a noted expert on everything."Hillary is in the thrall of David Rockefeller, who is the man who pulls the strings on the Foreign Relations Council. The FRC is a front for the Freemasons who have a hotline to the Grays via Baphomet, the supposed earth spirit. Everything will be revealed after the 2008 election when the truth about Roswell and the JFK assassination is made public."

In a related story, Senator John McCain of Arizona was reported by reliable sources to be consulting Sylvia Brown, a noted psychic, on methods of channeling Ronald Reagan.

Vice President Dick Cheney was unavailable for comment.
