Sick? Yes. Accurate? Without Question

Huffpo contributor Bob Cesca goes off the deep end with this mad piece...

No, it's not for the squeamish, obviously. "Bush Eats Baby, Republicans Defend President", it's called, and it's pure Python, or well, all it needs is Eric Cartman somewheres.

I love satire, it's a most useful weapon in the ages-old passion of nuking illusions, and lighting a supernova under...the truth.

"But some are so offended.". I had to learn that the hard way: Those who read or see a good satire, those who react as though they are so mortally wounded...are part of the problem to begin with.

The truth behind Cesca's Pythonesque stab?

Let's see: Village idiot is appointed to the highest office of the land. The score card to date reads...
-About 275,000 dead under his watch in Iraq..
-About 18,000,000 jobs cut out for China or India...
-A record deficit that's giving me, Lee, Mix and a few thousand others heartburn..
-A typical role model for any of the Dilbert cartoons as "managers without a fucking clue"...
-Is currently loading up the SCOTUS to the point of resembling a Hitler fan club...
-and is doing the best job possible of annoying every other nation doing whatever..
-has allowed the American aristocracy newer and more depraved depths of wealth, prosperity, yet, making them look like clones of Marie Antoinette in so doing...

In other words, it's perfect, overdue and about the best satirical slap to date. All we need now is for AP to run as if it's genuine, right? And why not? Since when do they publish....the truth???
