Mark Steyn on Senator Splunge: “But he is beyond satire now.”

Even I, though, would have balked at so crude and obvious a parody as this line some Kerry impersonator did on the radio the other day: "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

The words “Jacques Chirac” and “jock strap” are used in the conclusion in a rare display of satiric assonance.
