Has anyone else seen this animated short?  Bush and Kerry going back and forth insulting each other.  I saw it on Good Morning America this a.m. and finally downloaded the file to watch it (3.7M).  It's also been on FoxNews and CNBC recently.

here's the site:

Please let me know what you think.  My favorite parts were Howard Dean's yell, and Bill and Hillary  :-)

Those were my favorite parts as well.  I also like the "nuclear" remark as well, because I cringe every time I hear Bush say, "nucular".  Smiley

Just like I cringe when people say aGAIN instead of ah-ghen for the word "again."  Depends on which part of the country you're from, I guess.  

Yall? Dontcha know?  hahah

It's actually spelt "nukyular", but I cringe as well.

Thanks for clearing that up.  Wink

That animation is just hysterical.  And while it's a bit of hyperbole, I find the gist of it quite accurate (both candidates absurdly stink... Bush the idiotic cowboy president versus Kerry the shallow, issueless, "but I won three purple hearts" candidate).  Obviously, I'm sure many folks on this board find either one of the candidates palatable.  I don't.  I'm  very conservative, but in the old fashioned definition (i.e., pro civil rights, smaller govt, etc).  So, neo-con Bush and liberal Kerry are both unappealing to me.  The only part of the animation I didn't find funny was... the little blip of the Native American.  I have a small amount of Native American ancestry.  No... I didn't take offense, but I can relate to Native Americans... and I just found it sad, because there was just a little TOO MUCH truth in that clip!  Smiley
