Anyone else think whitehouse.org is no longer funny, but sad?

I used to laugh heartily at its wicked parodies of Chimpy McFuckstain's speeches, but these days--and mind you, I still go there and read anything new--it's just too close to the truth to be funny.

Here's what got to me this morning, from the site's "105th ANNUAL ARMY-NAVY FOOTBALL GAME: FULL TEXT OF PRESIDENT BUSH'S PRE-COIN TOSS REMARKS TO ASSEMBLED HUMAN CANON FODDER"


Hell, I could order you people to invade Switzerland to liberate the chocolate, and you'd still be shouting that "Hoo-Ha" thing. Why? Because the military conditions you to have a hard-on for glory. You want proud war stories like grandpa had about Dubya Dubya Two, not creepy war crime secrets like crazy Uncle Charlie had about the 'Nam. Which makes sense, because while you may be physically tough as nails, it's a known fact that military egos are more fragile than Michael Jackson's nose.

You know what else cracks me up? You college-hungry, patriotically sentimental grunts are so committed to a three year-old lie that even I don't believe, that you still swear your allegiance to a Commander In Chief who used Daddy's connects to squirm out of combat, who respected the military so much he went AWOL while serving in a champagne unit of pampered flyboys in Alabama, who came into office sneering at the concept of nation-building to the point that he cut all funding for such training, and who doesn't even comprehend that a soldier is fundamentally trained to kill and survive, not perform the lethal police work that this war has turned into. It's a good thing, however, that you boys understand the chain of command and don't shirk your orders.

Amost painful, now.

1. Not as sad as it's thought provoking..

.. I mean, * could read that speech, and people would just chuckle at him and say "Oh that George, always such a joker".

2. The best satire

Should never be just funny, but painful too. The Office is a good example.
