3. Not a good parody/satire
Maybe it is just me, but if this is a satire or parody (as I have heard claims of), it is not a good parody. Not sure if I can explain the concept, but let me try because I have seen one or two others like this and they are not funny. I don't think that I can, actually, but let me offer my thoughts. If you say the types of things that the teabaggers and rightwing nutcases say everyday, it may be hard to believe that somebody would say that crazy talk, but it does not make it a parody. This parody is so similar to what I have seen in a 100 different Right wing rants, that I don't see the comedy in it. Perhaps it is an impersonation of some random rant, but that doesn't make it funny.

One other thing.... Waterboarding? Really? Waterboarding? You could at least pick something more current. I haven't even seen that topic discuused in over a year.
