SATURDAY POLITICAL LEVITY

A really funny comedy routine about US foreign policy that invokes Abbot and Costello seems to be making the email rounds lately--my old friend, Matt, sent it to me just the other day. A bit of Googling found what appears to be the original source over at Anarchie Bunker. Here's a brief sample:

Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq?

A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction.

Q: But the inspectors didn't find any weapons of mass destruction.

A: That's because the Iraqis were hiding them.

Q: And that's why we invaded Iraq?

A: Yep. Invasions always work better than inspections.

Q: But after we invaded them, we STILL didn't find any weapons of mass destruction, did we?

A: That's because the weapons are so well hidden. Don't worry, we'll find something, probably right before the 2004 election.

Q: Why did Iraq want all those weapons of mass destruction?

A: To use them in a war, silly.

Q: I'm confused. If they had all those weapons that they planned to use in a war, then why didn't they use any of those weapons when we went to war with them?

A: Well, obviously they didn't want anyone to know they had those weapons, so they chose to die by the thousands rather than defend themselves.

And it just keeps getting better as the routine proceeds. It's pretty darned funny. Go check it out. It's well worth the time.
