Chuck Todd, NBC Political Director Mark Murray, NBC Deputy Political Director Domenico Montanaro, NBC Political Researcher 'South Park' takes it easy on Clinton Posted: Thursday, March 29, 2007 3:31 PM by Mark Murray Filed Under: Democrats, 2008 From NBC's Andrew MertenThose of us who are regular "South Park" fans would have to admit that Hillary Clinton got off relatively easy when the often-tasteless cartoon program made her a character in last night's episode. The show, in fact, was more of a spoof on the TV show "24" than it was on her. In it, Clinton -- referred to as "Hill-Dawg" by the animated supporters, staff, and even President Bush in the episode -- unknowingly carries a nuclear weapon inside her body, and officials have to rush to locate it. For political junkies, the only noticeable parody of Clinton was her immediate change in accent upon arriving in the fictional town of South Park -- a spoof of the southern drawl she displayed earlier this month when speaking to a church congregation in Selma, AL.

They then wrapped him in the red, white and blue and put him in front of his own men, who executed him. Was that a rerun? M.E., Albany, Ga.

America - were you aware the Blackwater USA is prepared in an emergency to take over security of the United States without regard to civilian or military law? Arm yourself, America. If you know what's good for you, buy a gun and learn how to use it.

I think that one was from their fifth season. (I know, I know, I shouldn't know that.) I thought that the episode with Hillary was great. This show, as vulgar as it is, is a great social commentary.

Or maybe sooner, since all they really lack is a 'Tom's Rhinoplasty'.
