The Week That Was 12/21/2007

Another week. More preposterousness to report.

So whaddya know? It turns out the Bush Administration has taken to economics and foreign policy like Lynne Spears has to parenting. Not too much is going wrong during this most wonderful time of the year. Well, if you don't count a currency just about on par with the Thai Baht, staggering government debt and Al Qaeda's number two thug opening up shop online for a game of 20 questions with the media.

Although, at the very least Al Zwahiri must be living a tortured life, you know, waking up every day realizing he is "wanted dead or alive." That taught his ass a lesson!

Hell, if he entered the Republican primaries right now he might actually out poll Giuliani in Iowa. In fact, I think if Al Zwahiri really concentrated his resources in South Carolina, his views on abortion, gay rights and pornography could really bolster his standing among the Palmetto State GOP. And he's more believable in his videos than Fred Thompson ever was in any televised appearance.

Excluding Baby's Day Out, of course. If you don't admit he outright nailed that role, then you're just being mean spirited and partisan.

Although, no matter who comes out of the GOP primaries as the Capo of the Cultists, it is pretty much all waterboarding under the bridge anyhow. Because, well, and this is an expert opinion of course, they all carry just about as much appeal as being Dick Cheney's proctologist.

And with that, I bid you all a happy holidays to tick of Fox (yeah, I am so taking part in the War On Christmas). And speaking of that illustrious arbiter of newsiness, enjoy this new video about their contributions to the Democratic primary race, courtesy of Brave New Films (psst...they pay me):
