Beyond

Not too new, but Andrew Sullivan gives us a good example of why the Republican right is immune to satire:

Jonah Goldberg's party might be dragging citizens off the street, incarcerating them without charges for four years and torturing them (if you haven't heard of Jose Padilla, you've been reading too much NRO), they might have suspended habeas corpus indefinitely, they might be wire-tapping your phone without warrants, they may be claiming presidential authority to ignore laws and treaties ... but the real fascism can be found in:

a female grade school teacher with an education degree from Brown or Swarthmore.

Be afraid.

No matter how outrageous the satire you think up, you can't match the absurdity of what these people actually think and say.
