[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1185158, member: 2189"] I agree with you on this but I have no problem making fun of elected leaders, in fact I think we should do more of it. If someone wants to cry racism, an all but hollow charge anyway, or even accuse of being disrespectful to the office of the President (oh I'm guilty as hell on that one :happy-very:), fine, I've yet to see any elected President regardless of party who really wasn't disrespectful to the people as a whole anyway so why not give back what is given? The great 20th century Russian composer Shostakovich was once asked to write a music piece to be used at a major celebration of the Soviet Union. The piece was a grand march for the entry of all the communist party functionaries and it built in crescendo to the point when finally the highest leaders including Brezhnev entered the hall. At this important moment, the music and tempo changed to what would best be described as clown music. Like Shostakovich, we should be so bold to hold our own leaders with such contempt and comedic visions. If you want to hear some of Shostakovich's music, watch the original Rollerball movie or Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut. [/QUOTE]
