This post is quite amusing:

I think I've heard this one before.

"A man running late for his flight to Phoenix called in a phony bomb threat Monday in hopes that the plane would be delayed long enough for him to get on board, police said."

Oh yeah.

"A President faltering in the polls called in a phony WMD report to the American public in the hope that it would distract the voters from his economic failings long enough for him to get re-elected, the media didn't report."
