The humorous art forms of satire and caricature require that real characteristics be exaggerated to ridiculous extremes in order to generate laughs. I am here today to announce that the American Left can no longer be satirized or caricatured. There is absolutely no legitimate way to exaggerate their positions anymore.
Do you think I'm exaggerating? Let me give you some examples brought on by the photographs showing the treatment of certain prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
First, we have the image of West Virginia's favorite Grand Kleagle, Robert Byrd, who made a fine Confederate General in "Gods and Generals", dismayed by images of people being demeaned and humiliated primarily on the basis of their ethnicity and nationality. I'm sure the distinguished Senate orator could have given those prison guards some pointers.
Then we have the court jester of Camelot, Ted Kennedy, outraged over photographs showing sexual domination and bondage. Would he have been happier if the prisoners had drowned in a car in the Euphrates? Or perhaps it would have been different if the photographs had resulted in charges against his nephew. It made sense to have Teddy on national television talking about rape rooms. There was probably one in the Kennedy compound in Florida.
Oh, it gets even better. Barney "I have a brothel in my basement" Frank comes out of a viewing where videos of male American military personnel were shown having sexual intercourse with female American military personnel, and expresses that he was "saddened" by the images. I'm sure he was. The question is, though, what was it that saddened him.
Then, to top off the absurdity, we have an entire chorus of American leftists demand that Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld resign or be impeached because he failed to stop or allowed such "war crimes" to occur. Of course these same people have John Kerry bumper stickers on their SUVs. You know John Kerry. The Vietnam War hero who has admitted to PERSONALLY committing atrocities against the innocent civilians of Vietnam.
All this and I haven't even mentioned Maxine Waters or Fortney Stark or Sheila Jackson Lee. As I said at the beginning, it's official. Caricatures of the Left are impossible. To the leftists, absurdity is a synonym for mainstream.

Steve,
You should be ashamed of yourself!! Didn't your mama teach you to be kind to dumb animals? She would be shocked, I tell you, shocked to hear you pick on Barney Frank and Ted Kennedy and Robert Byrd. Among the three of them they have not had a good idea in 40 years and here you are picking on the poor souls. Barney was just probably sorry that they had a party and didn't invite him. Teddy was probably thinking that he could give them all swimming lessons off the coast at Hyannis Port. Robert Byrd was probably thinking that there was something there that he vaguely remembered but damned if he knew what it was. In any case he should be ashamed that Amuricans would do this without even wearing sheets. What was wrong with them. And one was even from West by God Virginia!! They should have been taught this stuff in kindergarten. Need some more pork to fix that situation right now!!
If Rummy is a babysitter, he should be brought up on charges of abuse. He is not in Iraq babysitting the military. When you have kids volunteering for guard & reservist duty for the perks, this is what you get. Following orders as some have stated don't wash either. Surely, these kids knew right from wrong. To condemn the military, the administration, Rummy, or anybody else is flat out wrong.
LOL! You've mastered the invective--and you're dead-on target.
Like Rush has always said, "You can't make this stuff up, folks." I think he also said something along the lines of "When Democrats are out of power, they are funny, and when they're in power, they are dangerous."
Keep writing Lone, you do good work.
Lone, you are awesome. As always, on the mark. Below is a petition for John Kerry to pull out of the presidential race due to his war crimes..Feel free to sign it and pass it on..:)

Lone, right on target. The same people screaming about American abuses at Abu Ghraib are now conspicously silent about this outrage against an American citizen. They are using the 'abuse of prisoners' to undermind the president and his administration.
Mark Twain once said "Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn't." You are right on target, once again, Lone.
