I set this up largely because the xenophobic ranting and raving of John McCain and Sarah Palin’s less educated supporters was beginning to sound awfully familiar. Great comedy is somehow illustrative of real live events; the very best comedy is prescient as to real live events to come. Hats off to Mel Brooks, and to the makers of Apple’s iMovie software.
So now I wonder: Is this the sort of video that could become a one or two million-hit wonder? I think it could, and in relatively short order. I’ll start pushing the marketing of this thing on Monday, and we’ll see how far it goes. I think it just might be even bigger than the drunk Met fan with the cups on his head. We shall see soon enough.
Kick Ass!

Didn’t Lincoln want the same stuff as Presidenet Obama and that score was settled back then. God has a sense of humor. A black man from the Land of Lincoln freeing all the slaves. Sarah Palin, Limbaugh self-destructing, etc., ad nauseum.
