When my late father T. Coddington Van Voorhees VI founded the iconoclastic conservative journal National Topsider in 1948, he famously declared that "Now is the time for all good conservative helmsmen to hoist the mizzen, pour the cocktails, and steer this damned schooner hard starboard."

LOL IH rocks.

[GVnana]

BWAHAHAHA! Add a dose of Peggy Noonan while you’re at it!

[Mac from Cleveland]

Funny as Hell!

Hope the “No ‘nads” boyz at NRO have taken a look at it.

THIS IS SATIRE

[headsonpikes]

Top notch, old boy!

[wideawake]

You really can’t tell that this is satire?

[voteNRA]

... one can scarcely imagine the White House social calendar -- mooseburger fetes to that ghastly Joe the Plumber, perhaps followed by snow machine derbies through the Rose Garden?

LOL, gotta love IH!

“Cut of this Obama Fellow’s Jib” Take II
Am getting dizzy again, although it could be because of the nautical references and my (currently) long term landlubber status. I am with you in body and spirit, though, and we will see this through to the end.

It was easily mistaken for an actual bambi article. I wouldn't be surprised to see the MSM plagiarizing parts of it this weekend. :)

Iowahawk is doing a sendup of Christopher Buckley. :)

[allmost]

Getting another cup of coffee. This is not out of line with some of the ‘messiah’ articles I have almost finished reading though.

[trisham]

Pip-pip!

You know I've always been been America's biggest defender in Monaco

Brilliant stuff.
