Vicious and Laughing Out Loud Hilarious

P.J. O'Rourke is scathingly funny in his column over at The Weekly Standard.

Titled, A New Circus Comes to Town, Mr. O'Rourke ponders whether it is too soon to call it Obama's failed presidency.

Ouch.

While I do think he's a little tough on Hilary Clinton, this was pure O'Rourke fun! Here's a snippet but do read the whole thing. I promise you'll laugh.

So we may speak without compunction of the failed Obama presidency. What a blessing that it's a failure. Things are bad enough the way they are. There's already a huge ongoing government intervention in the economy. Bringing the government in to run Wall Street is like saying, "Dad burned dinner, let's get the dog to cook." Now the government's going to take over the auto industry. I can predict the result--a light-weight, compact, sustainable vehicle using alternative energy. When I was a kid we called it a Schwinn. And next in line for political therapy is health care. Voting will cure what ails you. Go to the doctor when you've got cancer, and he'll say, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I'm going to treat your disease by going inside this small, curtained booth and putting an 'X' next to a very special name."
