Conservative commentators seized upon the first episode of the season to launch a barrage of criticism against the Obama Administration.

On MSNBC's Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough frothed, "You see that humongous mansion and vintage cars and lavish carefree lifestyle they live because of the millions Vince gets for each movie he makes? Obama wants to tax that."

Dick Morris wrote in a column for TIME Magazine, "This just goes to show that Nancy Pelosi should resign." The Drudge Report and other conservative blogs led with stories alleging that Obama was really watching Entourage to check out Jamie Lynn Sigler's ass.

William Kristol, appearing on Fox News, insisted, "Mark my words, this Entourage show is over: absolutely no one is watching it, or discussing it the next day at their workplace. Adrian Grenier is not even hunky. But you look at a series like Touched by an Angel, now there is a show that people relate to because of its conservative values. In fact, I predict it will be a breakout hit this year."

2. It's gotten so crazy I can't even tell what's parody anymore

Years ago when I was teaching, I attempted to parody an authoritarian, overly controlling, absolutely strict disciplinarian teacher, making it utterly over the top to the point where I thought nobody could possibly miss it.

Nobody got it.
