It's the Iraqi and Bullwinkle show! Remember the voice-over announcer? "Stay tuned for our next exciting episode, 'Fast Times As Baghdad Falls' or 'Today Mosul, Tomorrow The World.'"
Odd, I remember it being funnier when I was a child.
One thing I have to say: very early on in Mr. Obama's Presidency, I remarked how much he resembled a young Dick Nixon. --He's certainly never looked more like Nixon than he does right now; he's a ski-slope nose and a single photograph away from a near-perfect likeness.
Meanwhile, inside my head: "Gee, Mr. Peabody, that Mr. Mohammed sure didn't like dogs...." "Shaddup, you, and hand me the puppy shampoo. These rotten eggs aren't getting any fresher."
I was thinking the same thing last night, except that Nixon was someone who is smart and everyone hated, and Obama is stupid but everyone likes.
