'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.

I'm beginning to think someone "snuck a snuke" up Bush's snickle, and that anyday he may bend over and use it.

I'm wondering when Kenny will go to Iraq, with the inevitable outcome. "You killed Kenny...you Bastard!" But who will get the blame?

I just saw one last week where they were in Iraq and had found Osama. 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?

Well, that's too bad - there's a treasure trove of sarcasm where Hillary is concerned. 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.

South Park is so yesterday, like most "cutting edge" liberal T.V. shows.

M.E. it was a rerun. 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. The British are coming!!

At the rate it's going, South Park is what Colorado Springs will be like in another twenty years. Or maybe sooner, since all they really lack is a 'Tom's Rhinoplasty'.
