The Comedian Strikes Back

The Huffington Post | The Blog

Linked above is Bill Maher's response to Congressman Bachus. I hope it gets played up by the major media. A sample:
And by the way, these "comments" were part of a longer, scripted comedy piece in the modest proposal tradition. I can see why administration supporters would want to deflect attention away from the gist of the piece, which was this: now that we can't meet our recruiting goals, maybe it's the people who were so gung ho for this war to begin with who should step up and go fight it. But of course it's always easier to distract people.
Kind of sad when we have to look to our late-night comedians for common sense, isn't it?
