Mr President,
Last Thursday my neighbor said your health plan was going to bankrupt America while we chatted over the fence. After that my poor, senile father called me by accident and immediately started ranting about insuring illegal Americans, you know, the ones without documentation.
It disturbs me because my fellow teachers have told me the same thing about their friends and neighbors and relatives and even strangers in the line at Safeway.
What’s going on Mr President, this is scary to me, I thought everyone voted for you and knew what you planned to do.
If I tell you where they live and where they work, can you have them arrested?
Sincerely,
Your humble servant.

Your post smells fishy to me. your first line is a lie. Insuring illegal aliens? You should be mad at Lush Bimbo, Bill O’lielly, and / or Michael ‘the savage’ Weiner for planting those lies in your father’s head, and be glad he’s on Medicare (government funded healthcare). This is what passes for political discourse? The mobs shouting down town halls and the ‘birthers’ look positively sane next to this.

Thanks poltergeist, for noticing. It’s true there is a lot of hypocrisy on this site. But since when does satire owe anything to the truth?

Hey Fool, and poltergeist, not only a LOT of hypocrisy, but more than anywhere else. If it is not here, it may not exist.
And a gracious welcome to our newest hypocrisy sleuth, poltergeist, who has named his blog Hypocrisy Watch, Right Wing Hypocrisy. It is at poltergeist.hypocrisy.com.

Thanks for the welcome, scout. Sorry, Intergalactic… it just shows the sorry state of discourse that I took your post seriously. But then, If Colbert wasn’t on comedy central I probably would have thought he was serious too. His satire almost looks sane next to Lush Bimbo and Glen Beck. And these days it seems we get most of our truth from satire. That’s why John Stewart rated as the most trusted newsman for most the US in a recent Time poll.
