Wolf: Hello this is Wolf Blitzer. Welcome to to tonight's presentation of SHOWDOWN: MORDOR. We're live at the CNN Centre in Atlanta with me are Jon King in Rivendell, Andrea Koppell in Gondor and Christiane Amanpour in Barad Du.

4 part screen shot of the various correspondents and Wolf.

Wolf: In the studio are secretary of state for Mordor the witch King , writer Robert Jordan, and Jesse Jackson.

Wolf: Christiane what the mood in Sauron's stronghold?

Christiane: Well Wolf it seems that preparations for war are going at a frantic pace. President Sauron is confident covert actions by special forces to regain the Ring of Power will allow him to initiate his plan for total domination of Middle Earth.

Wolf: it sounds quite dangerous, are you safe?

Christiane: Have you seen my hair?I'm quite safe Wolf, They think I have Orcish Blood. Quite the compliment in these parts.

Wolf: Er...Yes.

Witch King: I have laid my case for Mordor: Those elves have nice hair and lovely voices. They are part of an Axis of Evil along with the Dwarves and Neumenoreans.

Jesse: that is just racist.

Witch King: That's Typical Jesse. You don't care until you think you can put yourself up as a "Warrior for the Little Guy". Cheap Sellout.

Wolf: Jon King, having spent the last weeks in rivendell can there be a political solution?

Jon: I'll be honest, The forces of Good in this struggle are divided along ethnic line on the issues.

Jesse: See!!!!!!! I told you .

Jon: The Elves think they've sacrificed enough and want to retire to their gated communities across the Western Sea. The Humans are uncertain if "evil" is such a bad thing considering the tax cuts Sauron has been promising. The dwarves don't want to give up generations of hard work to subsidise Hobbit welfare. Frankly Yugoslavia was easier to figure out.

Wolf: Andrea...

Andrea Koppel: Hi Wolf.

Wolf: Baby, how are you doing you know I've missed you.

Andrea Koppel smiles

Wolf: Er..Andrea what the situation in Gondor?

Andrea: Wolf.. There's so much Machismo here....I'm not surprised the whole place seems to be run by fraternities. Steward Lott is having a hard time distancing himself from allegations he used the derogatory term "Halfling" at a private function last week.

Jesse: You can't discount the effect that's going to have on the "Hobbit Street"

Wolf: We have to break for commercial...
