I can admit when I'm wrong.
On Friday I stated that continuing my feature called Translations would be a bad idea because twist-fisking certain things, like Ted Kennedy's recent speech on Iraq, would be inappropriate and not really all that funny.I was half-right. Blog-satirist Iowahawk delivered a wickedly inappropriate but blisteringly funny parody of Kennedy's bloviating (via LGF):
Like all Americans, I had high hopes for the future of the Oldsmobile and its passengers, as we struggle against the onrushing water and its poorly-designed shoulder belts. But as claustrophobia sets in we must begin to sober up and face the truth: hope is no longer an option.It's a devastating blow to my idea.
It is time for us to recognize that our continued presence in this volatile region is a hinderance to the Oldsmobile and its people. Rather than helping the situation we are further weighing down the Oldsmobile, causing it to sink faster and faster into the quagmire of Chappaquidick Bay, creating a dangerous situation for both ourselves as well as its passengers who are desperately seeking an air pocket in which to start a better life.
But that's why he's him, and I'm me.
