Election-year fun

Peter David, one of my favorite authors, has posted a clever parody of the Billy Flynn/Roxie Hart press-conference-turned-ventriloquist-act from Chicago on his blog, reimagining the musical number in the context of President Bush and Vice President Cheney’s upcoming appearance before the 9/11 commission. Here’s an excerpt (sung to the tune of “The Press Conference Rag”):
[SENATORS]
Let us turn to…[CHENEY (as Bush)]
Nine eleven.[SENATORS]
Saw it coming?[CHENEY (as Bush)]
No one could have.[SENATORS]
Richard Clarke said –[CHENEY (as Bush)]
He’s a whiner.
He said some stuff that’s not so nice.
We put our trust in Condi Rice.
You can read the rest here.
Meanwhile, the latest issue of the Economist offers up a cover story examining better ways to attack the policies of the Bush administration (cover image via Atrios). In all fairness, though, the usually-conservative Economist also features an interior story on better ways to attack John Kerry. Personally, I’m surprised that people are having so much trouble coming up with good reasons to criticize either candidate.
