Q&A with that lyin' President of ours

News & Politics

You might remember Fafnir, who authored "So You're STILL Being Tortured To Death In An American Military Prison!" Or you might not. Regardless, an utterly hilarious new Q&A on illegal wiretapping and spying is now available. An excerpt:


Q. [...] Now some crazy people say the president broke some silly old laws like FISA and the National Security Act and the Fourth Amendment. Are these crazy people crazy?

A. They sure are! Maybe those laws worked back in 1978 back when Leonid Brezhnev was snortin coke with Ayatollah Khomeini and groovin' to the hits of the Bee Gees, but in today's dark and dangerous times, they just aren't enough.

Q. Things sure have changed since the innocent days of mutually assured destruction! But is it legal for the president to ignore the law?

A. Maybe not according to plain ol stupid ol regular law, but we're at war! You don't go to war with regular laws, which are made outta red tape and bureaucracy and Neville Chamberlain. You go to war with great big strapping War Laws made outta tanks and cold hard steel and the American Fightin Man and WAR, KABOOOOOOM!

Read the whole thing here. Brilliant. (Thanks to BoingBoing for the link.)
