Hilarious and like all good humor, the element of truth, concerning the idiocy of the Left comes through loud and clear. A total smackdown. The ACLU piece in Dennis Hopper's courtroom is priceless.

I believe it must be noted, Mr. Orlet, that where McCain has a "Bushlike" problem, apart from mere party identity, it is due to the failure of Mr. Bush (for reasons unknown, other than his lack of communication skills) to adequately defend his administration. The Democrats have so successfully exploited this failure and filled the void with their gibberish, they have convinced a significant portion of the electorate that George W. Bush is not only Satan, but that Satan is actually on the ballot. This is how insane this election has become. Of course, those voters are only potential and may be unreliable when it comes to making an appearance at the polls on election day, but I'm sure ObamACORN will find a way to have his stooges, er, volunteers cast their vote for them.

McCain's age, and Obama's inexperience, are another matter. Chesterton put it this way, "I believe what really happens in history is this: the old man is always wrong; and the young people are always wrong about what is wrong with him. The practical form it takes is this: that, while the old man may stand by some stupid custom, the young man always attacks it with some theory that turns out to be equally stupid." And, this, which in some cases, may actually apply to both of them, but applies to Obama with certainty, "The reformer is always right about what is wrong. He is generally wrong about what is right."

p>Why so many people in the country today don't understand the wisdom in these words is the tragedy. Ah, public education.
