How funny is it? It’s Mad Crazy Magazine funny!
By Now that Hillary Clinton has come out with full force against Ann Althouse, Mickey Kaus, and Victor Davis Hanson — and I really don’t know any other way to interpret her purchase of a BlogAd on this site — I’m that much more interested to hear her views on other, slightly less monumental issues. Meantime, I found myself distracted by quite possibly the worst BlogAd ever, prominently featured on Powerline’s “Blog of the Week,” Forward Movement by Jules Crittenden. The ad pitches this self-published novel by an author who claims to be a refugee from academia — a former Dean of Humanities, no less, who made a “painful” rightward conversion after “personal experience and 9/11” proved his “political correctness” to be wrong. The author believes “his academic experience helped to sharpen his sarcastic skills and develop his sense of humor,” skills that are nowhere more prominently displayed than in the book’s promotional blurb:
A remote Massachusetts laboratory, just after the 2004 election… A genius scientist and his midget assistant are determined to clone the ideal liberal candidate to take back the White House. Finally, after many failures, they achieve a seemingly perfect creation–a multiple donor clone they name Liberalstein. Monster or perfect liberal leader? You decide!
Filled with all your favorite political characters:
Including Bill and Hillary Wimpton, Al Bore, Howard Steam, Rev. Al Sharlatan, Jane Fondue, Oliver Foam, Jean Garafoolo, Michael S’Moore, Phooti Goldberg, those lovable Dixie Ticks, and many more.
No mention of cameo appearances by Jimmy Farter, Dan Blather, George Snoros or Fancy Pelsosi, but I’m sure they’re in there somewhere.
If I ever get around to it, I’ll be sure to place this at the top of my Amazon wish list, nudging aside the $900 $662(!!!!!11!!ONE!1) Oxford English Dictionary set that has inexplicably not yet been purchased for me.
