Dang it, should have read the keywords.
Exactly! I really admire folks who can come up with this stuff. Not to thread drift, but for some reason it reminds me of Phil Hendrie and his hysterically funny radio show (if there are any fans out there).
He's a pro-war dem who claims to be a socialist. But in his very clever shtick (wherein he skillfully creates the illusion of a caller to his show that he interacts with, by being so good at interrupting himself in different voices, basically, lol) what I heard doing was him creating these outrageous straw-man conservative characters that he would use to bait angry liberal callers. These characters were just believable enough that he would rope these angry liberals in, to hilarious effect.
It worked the other way too, but mostly he was politically incorrect. Just my take, he donates so generously that the libs can't go after him.
It's been a while since I've tuned in, but this satire reminds me of him.
Love their satire!
