I’ve had a longstanding problem with using much modern political satire in the classroom, because I have a hard time finding good examples from the right side of the political aisle. Conservative satire seems so rare to begin with, and most of it that you can find is just too clumsy, ineffective, unfunny and/or (oops!) racist that it isn’t worth it. (And no, Sarah Palin, Rush calling Democrats “retards” does not qualify as satire.)
But leave it to the Republican National Committee (the people who brought you Michael Steele’s hip-hopping genius) to give us GOP Valentines.
Now, you might be thinking, “Isn’t it troubling when even Republicans in love can’t stop thinking about their hatred of libruls long enough to send a Valentine’s Day card?” But I think any attempt at humor from the GOP that doesn’t involve watermelons should be applauded.
My favorite, after the jump.
