Demagogue

Since I'm at work I had to try really, really hard not to bust out laughing when I read this hilarious send-up of Oklahoma's two distinguised Senators-- Inhofe and Coburn.

While I highly recommend that you read the whole thing, here's a little taste:

As we all know, the corn is as high as an elephant's eye, and they're doing fine in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's OK, L-A,-H-O-M-A. Not only that, but right now the state is represented in the U.S. Senate by two of the most entertaining primates ever to sit in that august body. It is a remarkable achievement. Usually a state will elect one boring senator and one entertaining senator. Look at Pennsylvania: There's bland old Arlen Specter, trying to keep Ralph Reed from using him as a piñata, and there's Rick Santorum, who is the funniest thing about Christianity since the Singing Nun fell off the charts in 1965.

Enjoy!

(Sorry to the fellas for interrupting their very admirable bi-partisan, humanitarian efforts.)
