All the talk of Satan sandwiches over the last couple days reminded me of when Ali G asked Pat Buchanan about BLTs in Iraq (starts around 2:33).

The political good news for conservatives is the Keynesian train-wreck that is the US economy will continue until the 2012 election.
The bad news is Obama will get 2.1 Trillion dollars to spend on the Democrats and MSM for his reelection effort.
The debt limit deal is the McConnell Plan B with a few gimmicks thrown in to gain RINO support.
Like the McConnell Plan B, the role of Congress will be inverted from allowing a debit limit increase to creating an automatic debit limit increase unless Congress passes an disapproval law with a veto-proof 2/3 majority.
Thus the National Debt is certain to climb without limit or restraint.
The RINO gimmicks are so-called automatic spending cuts are to be split 50 / 50 between the Security and non-Security parts of the budget.
It is a pretty good guess that all the cuts will fall on the Republican sectors and touch the Democrats not at all.
The automatic cuts will be triggered during the 2012 election cycle if a Spending Commission does not act to recommend cuts to Congress thus blaming any cuts on the Republicans right before an election.
The bottom line is Obama got all the money he wanted, Democrats get to saddle the GOP with election year budget cuts, McConnell gets his dream of jettisoning Congress's Constitutional Duties of management of the Federal Finances by setting the credit to automatic increase and the dreaded Obamageddion will still happen as the Credit Rating Services are certain to downgrade the AAA rating because National Debt is certain to raise to unsupportable levels.
OK, there is no good news in this plan as it is a Satan Sandwich with a side order of Satan French-fries.
Naturally Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi loves this meal.

A good overview of the budget plan is here:::

The side order of Satan Pickles is if by some miracle the GOP captures all of Congress with a 2/3 majority, plus the White House, then the debt load will be so great that truly massive cuts in the Federal budget will be required.
The Democrats can then use their favorite campaign strategy of “Protecting the Common Man from the Evil Republicans Budget Cuts” during the next election cycle.

I didn't watch the clip because the actor that plays him is one of the biggest d%^%ks around. What's the point of this ridiculous post?

Greetings WJ
The point is Humor.
BLT + WMD = Satan Sandwich
The video is anything but humorous so you did not miss much.

After reviewing the recording one could be profoundly embarrassed for the entire human race.
Watching a rapper / DJ pretend to be a Bigfoot Journalist / Interviewer with the real thing is cringe provoking.
Watching Pat Buchanan deal with a genuine gibbering idiot who continually confused a BLT's ( Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich ) with WMD's (Weapons of Mass Destruction ) is convincing evidence that evolution does not proceed equally for all members of the human race.
This tape is the best evidence to date for the speculation that human evolutionary differentiation and deviation increases with population growth and specialization.
Or it shows the critical need for a good booking agent when working for the media.
Both may be true.

The Comic is an embarrasment comic---Borat was his best film. As an orthodox Jew, the comic also enjoyed pissing Pat Buchanan off (as Pat's a Nazi apologist asshole).

By the way, The Works in Morton Grove, IL has sandwiches so good, they are worth fighting a war over. Best gyros I've ever had. (I have no financial interest in The Works.)
