Truly hilarious GOP Flash ad.

A muscular G.W. Bush saves Granny from the democrats.

Ow, Todd. You hurt my great abs with that thing.

Woah! That is quite ... unbelievable in its illiteracy. But maybe it's well-targeted.

Voluntary accounts for younger workers? Quite Darwinian if you think about it. Only the rich baby turtles make it to the sea.

Well, it makes a little more sense now. But it's still a piss-poor execution.

Do all US retirees use wheelchairs? Don't remember there being that many rolling around.

Do all US retirees use wheelchairs?

Obviously, dummy. We also have robots here that eat old people's medicine. The robots are hard because they are made out of metal.

Now I understand, thanks. It's been a few years since I could watch Saturday Night Live. (My favourite then was Kevin Starr trying to get ketchup out of a bottle with the help of OJ Simpson and Louise Woodward.)

But I still reckon it's Roosevelt's wheelchair -- look at the spokes, definitely 1930s engineering. They're all arts graduates, the people who make these things, ya know.

Roosevelt usually used a regular kitchen chair with little tiny furniture casters on the bottom. He didn't want anybody to know he was crippled: he wanted them to think he just sat down all the time, presumably because he was rude.
