I thought about adding, "and certain freepers" myself, but decided there isn't enough money in the Whitehouse budget for all of those lemons. You know, these days there are some people who are so freaking uptight that if the Church Lady were done all over again, we'd have people clapping and nodding in agreement without the slightest clue that it's satire.

Are you implying that we stupid unsophisticated uptight prudes/rubes don't "get it" that the First Lady's blue material was "satire" ?

Something isn't satire if it's indistinguishable from what it attempts to satirize.

Do you think, for example, that if you jumped naked onstage into vat of brown goo, you would be satirizing "performance artist" Karen "Shut up and Love Me" Finley?
