Es injusto quejarse de esa extraña colección de lunáticos, ignorantes, mentirosos, infieles, zopencos y fanáticos religiosos que desde el año pasado compiten por la nominación presidencial del Partido Republicano, y en la que hasta Peña Nieto podría comparar bien por culto e informado, por no hablar de sus recientemente destapadas infidelidades matrimoniales. La verdad es que estos pelmazos han sido las delicias de satiristas, caricaturistas y comicos de los shows nocturnos. Esta campaña presidencial gringa pasará a la historia como la más prolífica en buenos e ingeniosos chistes y cartones. Very inspiring! El Oso Bruno presenta una selección de las mejores sátiras dichas hasta el día de hoy (en el ingés original para que no pierdan su savoir faire):

multimillionaire can beat the odds and run for president of the United
States." –Jay Leno

Dockers." –Jimmy Kimmel
“Newt Gingrich had a horrible week in
the Iowa caucuses. Only 13 percent of his ex-wives voted for him.” –David Letterman
“Apparently
a large branch of Mitt Romney’s family lives in Mexico. … His grandfather in
the late 1800s moved his whole family to Mexico to avoid being prosecuted for
polygamy. … Mitt can use that to show that he’s tough on immigration. His
family kicked themselves out of the country.” –Jimmy Kimmel

Bachmann won the Iowa Straw Poll. She said she hasn't been this excited since
she won last year's 'Who's Crazier Than Sarah Palin' contest.'" –Conan
O'Brien

Party rebutter Michele Bachmann is under fire for saying the Founding Fathers
eliminated slavery. Sarah Palin is very upset. Another female Republican trying
to steal the dumbass vote." –Jay Leno

saw the big controversy with Michele Bachmann. She did not look directly into
the camera, which made it harder for the teabaggers to masturbate." –Bill
Maher "She didn't look into the camera. She said Ameican was created by a
miracle, and secret armies of IRS agents are trying to take awa your light bubls.

"Herman
Cain is out there, he says a lot of provocative things. He said America should
build its own Great Wall of China. Cain says it's a great idea because if
there's one thing you don't see in China, it's Mexicans." –Conan O'Brien
"Almost all of Rick Perry's support appears to have gone to Herman Cain because, again, and I cannot stress this enough, nobody likes Mitt Romney." –Jon Stewart
"Almost all of Rick Perry's support appears to have gone to Herman Cain because, again, and I cannot stress this enough, nobody likes Mitt Romney." –Jon Stewart
"Herman Cain answered the Wall Street protesters, and he had a message for these protesters. He said, 'If you don't have a job, if you're not rich, don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the banks, blame yourself.' And a nation of out of work teabaggers said, 'Yeah! Hey, wait a minute.'" –Bill Maher
"Will Herman Cain become the first black President … that I acknowledge? I call him a dark horse because he’s an unlikely candidate who surged forward, and not because he’s … a horse." –Stephen Colbert
"Herman Cain said that as president, he will bring Republicans and Democrats together. He was the guy that brought pineapple and ham together on a pizza, so it wouldn't be surprising." –Jimmy Kimmel

"Personally, I hope he doesn't get out of the campaign. I need Rick Perry. I don't want to spend the next year trying to do jokes about Mitt Romney." -Craig Ferguson

"Perry is an attractive candidate for many conservatives, because he wants smaller government, to cut national spending, and he knows how to fire a grenade launcher. He’s like the Sarah Palin of politics." –Jimmy Kimmel
"He's not George Bush on steroids. Rick Perry is what happens if Lex Luther distilled down George Bush essence in a laboratory and crossed it with gun powder and semen from the finest thoroughbred in Lubbock, and then strapped that concoction onto a nuclear missile and shot it into the f*cking sun! And then, waited, waited, waited, until one day, on the anniversarry of the Alamo, a solar flare, yada yada yada, Rick Perry!" –Jon Stewart
Jon Stewart, riffing on Rick Perry's remark that Americans should want a president who's "in love" with America: "You want a president who would, in a rainstorm, grab America's hand and take shelter with America in a nearby barn. Maybe help America out of its wet clothes. Maybe lay America down on some hay bales. And then, as America and Rick Perry become one, the sounds of their lovemaking merging with the thunderstorm's cacophony, the barn shutters rattling, the livestock, the livestock they want to look away but they can't, their eyes are transfixed. I am Rick Perry and, unlike Barack Obama, I will f*ck the shit out of America."
"Texas Governor Rick Perry now says his wife has been encouraging him to run for President. Remember first he told us God told him to run; now his wife is telling him to run.

"Texas governor Rick Perry said God is calling on him to run for President. But Michele Bachmann said that god is calling on her to run for President. You know, if God is that indecisive, he's probably for Mitt Romney." –Jay Leno

Rule: Someone has to tell Francesco Schettino that embracing a callous policy
of "every man for himself" doesn't make you a sea captain. It makes
you the Republican nominee." -Bill Maher
