Ten reasons I'm not voting for you, Mr. George W. Bush.

10. Do you really think it's a good idea to be Hitler, George? Hitler killed millions of people and his approval ratings are in the toilet. Why can't you be somebody people like? Regis, maybe, or the Prophet Mohammed. Anybody but Hitler! Being Hitler = BAD IDEA.
9. Two words: You. Are. Dumb.

This could be forgiveable if it was funny. It's not.
I am SO disappointed that the WSJ would run this the day before such an important election.
It's just an ignorant, tasteless column with NO wit.

It's a joke. It's mocking the way Dems talk.
See last line. I thought the column was hilarious.
To: paulat
Plus, anyone who reads the WSJ with any regularity knows that the editorial page is conservative and would see this as a joke. WSJ readers are the smart ones. Now if this satire was in USA Today, I'm not so sure people would even know what the word 'satire' means.

"Mr. Treacher writes at JimTreacher.com. Editor's note: This is a satire of the Angry Left. Please do not take it seriously." I have met people who say this stuff.

This whole thing is a joke and that's what the author said at the end. Get it, "You. Are. Dumb." is three words.

Just because you "say" it's satire, doesn't mean it's funny.
Ben Affleck "says" he's an actor....

It's terrible satire. It's not funny at all. Who is this guy? I could do better, Paul Atreides could do better,
IowaHawk already did better.

Mr. Treacher writes at JimTreacher.com. Editor's note: This is a satire of the Angry Left. Please do not take it seriously. You need to read it all the way through. Although he does have the DU buzzwords down pat, doesn't he? Shrub and chimp?
