A Colbert in the making?
Hunter, writing about Iowa's Steve King and his indecent Right smears:
But when you're reduced to having your staff make up large visual aides to assist explaining your insults, I think perhaps satire won't cut it anymore, and we have to devolve to out-and-out mockery.
So fine. Let's play the game, Republican style. Representative Steve King, of Iowa's 5th District: you support al Qaeda. I don't have to prove it. I don't have to back it up. I just have to say it, and it becomes true.
And now the debate can be about why you support al Qaeda. Is it because you are "soft on terrorism?" Is it because you are living in a "pre-9/11 mindset?" Is it because you "hate America?" It is because you were beaten senseless by river otters during your own sixth birthday party, and now harbor a deep grudge against our native American fauna?
I don't know. I don't have to know, because all of America is now ruled by the Fox News Schoolyard Taunt.
America is now ruled by the Fox News Schoolyard Taunt: That'd be the Pottersville they hoped for, I think.
