In Which Zandar Answers Your Burning Questions

Steve Benen asks:
It must be challenging to be a political writer trying to parody conservative arguments. Prominent Republicans, who are either stark raving mad or pretending to be, are speaking publicly about "government-encouraged euthanasia" and "death panels." How does a satirist exaggerate for effect when the right-wing has gone mad?

Well, reducing neocon foreign policy to "Send in Giant Dr. Manhattan!" is always good for a laugh.

Having said that, merely sticking with the facts about the Town Hall Blitzers provides a surprising amount of comedy gold these days.



Go figure.
