Still not up there with The Producers but a good first effort.; 8/10/07, 7:39 AM

It made me chuckle.; 8/10/07, 7:46 AM

Excellent point. Once you can start making parodies of them, you know you have them on the run. Plus is probably drives them completely insane as they take themselves so seriously; 8/10/07, 8:04 AM

Oh, and Seth Myers as Osama commenting on the 2004 election. "Why is nobody talking about Social Security?" Brilliant.; 8/10/07, 8:33 AM

He kinda' reminds me of Mandy Patinkin.

Mockery is good psych ops.; 8/10/07, 10:55 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Sorry about the bad link. Fixed.

I agree that mockery is a good attack even if it seems to disrespect the victims too.; 8/10/07, 11:08 AM
