Why it's impossible to parody Code Pink

Good for The Daily Show for taking on more than just conservative targets:

How can you possibly out-parody the self-parody that is Code Pink? The final moment of the video is just hysterical, and so representative of the clue-free nature of this debate. Also watch for the lib answer to the question, "so if we got rid of the police, we wouldn't have crime? (around 3:50). Priceless."

    You obviously don't watch The Daily Show on any kind of regular basis. They have "exposed" the absurdities in Senator Clinton, Geraldine Ferraro (in recent time), former President Clinton, Kucinich, Howard Dean and many others.

    Fair enough, David. I don't watch TDS regularly, so I may have missed some other skewering of libs.

    But be honest here...do you think that TDS is balanced in its skewering of political targets? That's not my impression, but I'm open to convincing otherwise.

    I used the word 'absurdities' because that is exactly how Jon Stewart describes it. When there are politicians that are trying to "pull the wool over the people's eyes" or just do things that are just over the top, that is what TDS tries to expose.

    Not only that, there does need to be prioritization :) and in the times when there are more conservatives that are 'over the top' (from some perspectives) then the appearance from the casual viewers' perspective might be that he only takes on conservatives.

    Believe me, he wasn't nice about Spitzer recently either...
