There's a new pundit out there named Ann Poultry. Writes for Smirking Chimp. Here's her piece on Why Liberals Suck So Damned Much, and one called Let's Go To War. She's truly brilliant. Enjoy.

Site must be overwhelmed. Very slow to connect. This I want to see!

Bush looks like a chimp! HA HA HA! That's a riot! ...wait...what year is this? Oh, sorry, I must've been in a coma. How else could I possibly still find that funny.

"How else could I possibly still find that funny."

What keeps it fresh more me is turning it around. Imagine a chimp that looks like Bush. Hoo-ha! That's pure comedy gold!

That's fresh for me, by the way.

She is a troll.

Since when does Ann Coulter need a parody? She was doing a fine job on her own.

Comparing Bush to a chimp is an insult to chimps everywhere, I've known some mighty fine chimps in my time and he, sir, is no chimp.

you can't parody a parody, it just doesn't work. :)

I keep having this dream, where the best selling book in the country is a po-mo deconstruction and satire of political vitriol, except that no one gets it and every one thinks its for real.

Robbie, you hit it on the head when you said you can't parody a parody. The Let's Go To War piece was decidedly unfunny. Makes me miss the wit of SatireWire even more...

monju_bosatsu, i had a similar thought.

Brilliant? Your threshold for brilliance is far lower than most.

HTuttle: the site is called smirkingchimp.com. What do you want them to do, buy a new updated-joke-site name and rebrand every year?
