Bush vs. Monty Python
This reworking of the old Monty Python 'dead parrot' sketch is absolutely brilliant. Available in it's entirety at HuffPo:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/martin-lewis/bush-meets-monty-python_b_38371.html

Starts like this:
Swing Voter: I wish to register a complaint. I wish to complain about this policy what I bought into just two years ago from your political party.

George W. Bush: Oh yes - the Iraqi Mission... What's wrong with it?

Swing Voter: I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's dead. That's what's wrong with it!

George W. Bush: No, no it's not dead. It's being re-purposed.

-------
...and it goes on like this, mirroring the whole original sketch. It's hilarious!

5. All right...now wait a minute!!!
From Feb. 2006.

Well, as much as the media tried to portray what was said at King’s funeral as abuse, nothing could’ve been further from the truth. Had the Boy King not spent the last five years proving his ineptitude and his distain for ordinary people – not to mention his annoying habit of lying his face off – then not only would Carter’s and the Reverend Lowery’s words not have struck so close to home, but there wouldn’t have been any reason to say them in the first place. George, it all boils down to staying away from places where you just don’t belong if you don’t want to hear the truth.

“Stupid git.”

But the humor didn’t stop there. A few days later, we were informed that a shoe bomb hijacking in Los Angeles had been thwarted – four years ago. Now, while I’m listening to the details of this plot being described by the Grand Liar in Chief, I couldn’t help thinking about the Python spoof of Sam Peckinpaugh in their sketch titled “Salad Days” or “Scott of the Antarctic” where the focus is on spurting blood – in slow motion.

Now I would assume that George and his handlers figured that Americans would either be scared yet relieved or bowing in thanks to the administration’s prowess after hearing of such a magnificent example of fighting terrorism. However, I kept expecting to see Graham Chapman appear from off camera dressed in a military uniform.

“Stop this! Stop this speech! It’s too silly!”

Seriously, we’re supposed to believe that a re-enforced cockpit door would be blown away – with shoe bombs?

BOOM!

“Oh bloody hell!”

“Sergeant?”

“It’s…it’s my feet, sir. They seem to be missing, sir.”


Has it dawned on any of these people how sadly comedic they’ve become? How are any of us, here or abroad, supposed to rally around such transparent ineptitude? Of course, I hear that about thirty five percent of the American public is still behind these bozos and the only logical explanation for this came from someone on Saturday Night Live. They stated that the people who still backed the administration also believed that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs on their way to church.

I....I....feel so...violated!
