Sometimes, even parody seems inadequate.

Back here, I (half-jokingly) suggested that George W. McChimpster's strategery would be to obstruct the Democrats as much as possible, then blame them for not getting anything done.

Little did I know:

... But there is motivation for Democrats — and Mr. Bush intends to exploit that if he can.

“Their whole theme has been the do-nothing Congress,” Mr. Black, the Republican strategist, said. “Now, if they get in there and make themselves vulnerable to that charge, it hurts them in ’08. He knows that they have an incentive to get things done, and he’s going to take advantage of that.”

It's hard to believe that even satire has lost its value.
