Jaws Not Put off By BO?

David Kahane on Hillary Clinton on National Review Online

This one is really well done, good to see that NRO lives on with only the ghost of Buckley to help it.

Couple of teasers-but it all needs to be read to get full humor:

The trip all culminated, of course, in the great speech at the Siegessäule in Berlin (which poor New York Times columnist Bob Herbert mistook for both the Washington Monument and the Leaning Tower of Pisa), which sent 200,000 Germans into paroxysms of ecstasy not seen since Leni Riefenstahl was toting a camera. Nobody feels more like a citizen of the world than the Germans, especially when they’re hungry and don’t have time to phone ahead to Paris or Rome for
reservations.

So it was three cheers for BO Jr., and then it was off to Hawaii, where he could revisit the scenes of his youth as a poor half-black sharecropper, or a pampered half-white kid attending the tony Punahou School, or some combination of both, while a leggy Paris Hilton in a bikini was making goo-goo eyes at John McCain and proposing the most perfectly sensible energy policy anyone ever heard. Do both? Now that’s bipartisanship.
It is so sad that the "MSM humor squad" doesn't find BO and company funny. Yes, yes -- pain, pestilence, economic decline and death by terrorists will require a "sophisticated wit", but HEY, we aren't there yet! The likely future is all the more reason to enjoy the today we have to our very fullest!!
