The greatest show on earth

Yes kids, it's time for the US presidential election, complete with TV adverts making their case in that calm, measured reasonable style we've come to know and love

In the ad, a farmer says he thinks that "Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading ..." before the farmer's wife then finishes the sentence: "... Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont, where it belongs."

Say what you like about party political broadcasts in the UK, but at least they try and address issues.

On a related note we all know comparing Bush to Hitler is dumb. Just to prove how dumb this strategy is at least one republican is now comparing Dean to Hitler and Lenin among others. In the spirit of the thing I'm comparing the author to a moron.
