Cindy McCain Claims She�s �Just Like Any Other Female Human�

God, this election is creating one howler after another.  Satire died and then became so inconsequential that it was freed to come back again.

You might want to double-check the encoding of text on that onion link.

I love the last line of The Onion video.

Satire’s sleep has been disturbed… she wakes.

Out of the dark grave, her skeletal hands claw a passage. From the dead womb, she is born again.

An sarcastic revenant, a sardonic, decayed image of terror… she prowls the margins of our sun-lit world. Possessed by an unholy, caustic lust for irony… she must slake her thirst for blood! Her bloody, cynical maw must taste human brains. She must feast on the brains of idiots.

Cindy McCain in that picture looks like she’s just about ready to open her huge mouth and swallow a rat whole.  Afterward she’ll shed her fake human skin and reveal that she’s really a hideous alien reptile…

What gets me worried is the fact that the Modern Republicans keep killing satire and irony—how long before a prominent Republican pundit seriously makes the claim that Obama is a nightmare cthulhoid monstrosity who wishes to feast upon our succulent marrow?

(Still makes him better than any Republican, of course...)

Let them. Seems to me that would just make Republicans look crazier in the eyes of the majority culture.

Of course, maybe I’m being too optimistic. We’ll see.

ENDO-skeleton!!!!  Not exo-skeleton.  Sheesh!  What has journalism become?

Some of them are claiming that he’s the anti-Christ.  Leader of Satan’s armies and enemy of all that is good in the world.  I’m not sure that saying he’s a Cthulhu-spawn would actually be worse (or even more crazy) than that.

I don’t know why that Cindy McCain video made me laugh so hard.  I think it’s because it’s not much of a leap to suggest that the MSM would glance carefully by a Republican’s wife being an obvious space alien.

I’m not a big fan of Will Farrell, but wow do I love his impersonation of Dubya.

I believe the one and only thing that I’m gonna miss about the current president is the hours upon hours of pure comedy gold he provided everytime he opened his mouth and words came out.

So. . . does Cindy McCain ask her stylist, “How can I look more like Cruella DeVille,” or what?

I get the impression SNL does not want McCain/Palin in office.

Very magnanimous of them, given the nature of their industry.

I didn’t watch the video, but Cindy is the disarray of the McPOW campaign personified. Not that I feel sorry for her, but she looks like it’s the end of a long nightmare.

OK, yes, that Onion spot is freakin’ hilarious.

It can sometimes be dangerous to make an altered image of an opponent. One can come to believe it too easily. Just sayin’.
