It has been many years since I have laughed so hard and for so long to
the point where I risked sending myself into cardiac arrest. Let me say
up front I'm a strong conservative and I realize these guys are about
as liberal as they come - but at least I give them credit for realizing
that humor is the best tool to attack the opposition.
Having been involved in many political campaigns as an analyst, I've
often criticized liberals for having an angry and bitter disposition to
anyone who thinks differently. I didn't see that in Andy and Mike. They
come across as good natured, which as a conservative I can then always
respect their opinion - even if I disagree.
Their pranks demonstrate just how gullible many in government and the
media are - not to mention plain stupid. Being from Louisiana I can
tell you it wasn't a difficult challenge to dupe the likes of a Ray
Nagin (mayor of New Orleans) and Kathleen Blanco (at the time governor
of Louisiana). But then, the scene where they get a respected
businessman into a terrorist protective suit that looks like an obese
cockroach with Halliburton stamped on the side takes "pranking" to a
new level. Absolutely priceless!
Andy and Mike, I might not agree with your politics, but I love your
methodology of promoting your position. I can't wait to see the next
pranks you pull.
