Conservative Humor Alert

This article by the pseudonymous David Kahane in the National Review Online is one of the funniest, and most right-on pieces of conservative political humor I've seen in a long time, better even than Mark Steyn, which is high praise indeed. Here is my favorite quote about Clinton:
The reason Hillary had to go was, well, to put it kindly — she was a dreadful candidate. That grim Nurse Ratched visage, that hectoring, flat, midwestern drone, the stubby finger-pointing: She was every guy’s first wife and his first mother-in-law rolled into a pantsuit.

Here is what he says about Obama:
Instead of the second coming of Jesus Christ, some of us are beginning to sense the second coming of Jim Jones. Instead of a new redeemer, we’re looking at an undistinguished first-term senator with no paper trail, a wife with a major-league chip on her shoulder, a politician from the insalubrious precincts of ... Chicago.

I don't know the identity of "David Kahane." Whoever he is can sure write.
