The showmanship is breathtaking, and The Funny is debilitating. Trotting out a frothing villain like Zell Miller to inflame the stupid, alternative while alternative retaining the option of distancing yourself ('He's not a Republican!') should the spin from the assembled stenographers of the press turn ugly? Pure comedy gold! Did you see the look on that old bastard's face when he felt the carpet being pulled out from under him? Classic, backslappin' American pie hijinks! Oh, you wacky yank bastards, how I love that you'd totter so close to the abyss to entertain us all. I wake up each morning alternative frothing in my urgency to fire up my old PC and find out what new japery you might have unleashed. The subtleties of the ways your leaders use words, my friends, while merely appearing to wield them like a simpleton's club, claiming that they 'don't do nuance'... simply magnificent. The way that you can collectively turn on an ironic dime, and allow a man whose family connections excused him from serving his country to shine the character assassination jocularity spotlight on a man who actually did.
