LOL..today on the radio he sounded just like Reagan, near the end when he didn't have a clue of what he was talking about/saying.

Garrison Keillor is in Seattle, and right at this very moment, I am listening to him being interviewed by Steve Scher on local NPR affiliate KUOW-FM.

Keillor just remarked that, in this political campaign, satire is futile because the campaign itself is its own satire.

Incisive! The man has a sense of proportion.

Garrison was more-or-less stealing that line from Tom Lehrer, for whom satire became obsolete 'way back when Henry Kissinger was running the foreign-policy show for Nixon.

Well, wherever the line came from. Keillor could have come up with it independently, because it's mainly just a matter of observing what's going on.

Hell, I could have come up with it, too ~ you, too, most likely. When I read somewhere about Tom Lehrer's comment, some nmber of years ago, I forget whether my reaction was "I coulda said that" or "Gee, I said that myself already."

Actually, Lehrer came to this conclusion when Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

The word work is fundamental

You will all laugh so hard that it will hurt. McCain is being marketed by unscrupulous
politicians and quite opposite of being funny, it compromises basic American principles of Democracy. You won't laugh all the way to the bank if McCain gets in. You'll find out
that the joke is on you because you refused to take this flim-flam candidacy seriously
enough.
