Satire is dead!

Ok so let's see: we have the Prime Minister of the country, which is currently colluding with the President of the USA to stifle the revelation, by a court of his own country, of embarrassing details pertaining to the awful rendition and torture of one of the citizens of the country he leads, at the hands of interrogators and torture facilitators both from his own forces and those of the USA.........who happens to have been prime minister in waiting, walking lockstep with his clearly deranged boss as he led his nation, entirely against it's wishes, into a murderous joint venture with a bunch of chickenhawk neocons to start a war of aggression which has cost at least 1 Million Iraqi lives.......using words like "appalling" and "depressing" and "outrageous" to describe the Burmese military junta's lack of respect for the rule of law......"So the international community must respond to this latest injustice with a clear message to the junta that its tyrannical actions will no longer be tolerated."

Ha...ha..ha...haaaa...haaa...haaa..haaa.....Oh my God this guy is funnier than Hillary Clinton lecturing Africans on acountability and transparency and respect for the rule of law.
