Being the left wing version of Fox news is not admirable.

Attack me for saying it, but it is not worthy of her intelligence to make wink-wink Santorum jokes and these kinds of stunts.

We can wish on issues. We can be better than them. We were.

The repukes are so out there it is appropriate to treat them with just this kind of creativity.

There are millions who think that Obama is the anti-christ. That is their opinion.

Being professional and at least making an attempt to be objective-ish is a way to counter the fact that different people have different opinions.

I just want to be better than them, not the same.

It takes a mind capable of connecting the lines between a presumably serious subject and the absurdity it attempts to expose. See Mark Twain.

Fox and its cohorts don't attempt satire because they know their audiences are too simple minded to understand that Colbert isn't really a republican.
