With Hussein as subject, it’s getting harder to tell satire from the real slobbering, butt-kissing!

Scrappleface supports the National Endow for the Otts and requests, politely, that you excerpt and not copy the entire article.

Lessee......
Pakistan and India were at the brink of an all out nuclear war which would have killed tens and maybe hundreds of millions.

An American President sent his Secretary of Defense to show accurate damage estimates to each side.

The Indians and Pakistanis are appalled at what they were considering. War was averted.

Seems that President would be a good candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Wei Jingsheng, a Chinese dissident known as ‘the father of Chinese democracy’, is among the 176 nominees who lost to Mr. Obama, but said he was honored to have been edged out by “a man of such staggering accomplishments.”

You can say what you like about old Wei but he can be right dry at times.

Clearly United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is a racist, what other explanation could it be?

Now, now, Don’t get all Wei Weied up.

Zero didn’t do anything to become POTUS, so why should he have accomplishments for a Nobel?

Anyway, I think Acorn sent a bunch of hookers to the convention and they all had a peace.

How do you carry on as a satirist when the truth is more bizarre than anything that comes out of your pen?

Tom Lehrer famously said he thought political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger won in 1973. I think now we can all happily agree that wasn’t true.

Yeah. All a comedy writer can say today is "yeah... what the Nobel committee did.... now THAT'S funny!"
