1. Was this parody? Or was it just good reporting?
Except for the film clips, this skit looks exactly like what reports about DeLay on the national news SHOULD look like. IOW, this wild parody of how bad DeLay is, is really a pretty accurate picture of how bad DeLay truly is.

Between SNL and The Daily Show, it's refreshing to see some solid reporting lately.

Thanks for posting this.

2. saw it last night...
and most of the audience seemed uncomfortable at best. There was very little laughter during the skit, and the only discernable laughter seemed very uncomfortable. Perhaps it hit a little too close to the truth for most people...

7. Well, showing people presumably being killed if they disagreed...
is a bit harsh, no?
