Arkansas Girl Claims Bill Clinton Is Her Father [Satire?]

A teenage girl living in Arkansas, whose mother once worked for President Bill Clinton, claims that he is her father, and has filed a suit based on that allegation.  From World News Daily Report:
Alyssa Gilmore claims that her mother, a former secretary of the oval office named Whitney Gilmore, had an affair with President Clinton between 1998 and 2001. She says she was born out of that relationship, and demands that Mr. Clinton undergoes a paternity test to prove that her story is true.
A judge is allowing the suit to proceed.  Also from WNDR:
Judge Henri Watkins of the Arkansas state court, rapidly decided that Ms. Gilmore had enough evidence to support her demand and announced that the presentation of the evidence will begin on March 19. Bill Clinton wasn’t present in the courthouse this morning, in Little Rock, but he met the media less than an hour after the judge’s decision, in Washington.
As I understand the science, males have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome, while females have with two X chromosomes, one coming from each parent.  This would mean that one of Ms. Gilmore's two X chromosomes would match Bill Clinton's X chromosome if he is her biological father.

This is not the first time Mr. Bill has been accused of fathering a child in an adulterous manner.  Over 20 years ago, a prostitute in Little Rock claimed that he was the father of her son, but DNA tests proved her wrong.  So when you read the WNDR story, having some NaCl on hand is probably not a bad idea.

UPDATE:  From looking around WNDR, the story appears to be satirical.  But considering Mr. Bill's various dalliances and the above-noted paternity claim from the Little Rock prostitute, it was all too believable.
