The ‘iRack’ Craze

Fox comedy show MadTV, in a skit built on the common American mispronunciation of a certain occupied country’s name, effectively skewers the Bush administration’s faulty foreign policy—and especially its intransigence in the face of popular opposition to it—via this phony Steve Jobs presentation of the new “iRack.”

MadTV’s approaching 12 years - no easy task. Not been a faithful follower but some moments, some characters are genius. Much better than Capitol Hill on CSPAN (or anywhere else)!

Another iRaq must-see:
http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Iraq

iRaq (Which is Arabic for Vietnam)
The weather in iRaq is generally Sunni in the north and Shiite in the south, with some Kurdstorms in the far, far north.
Anthem: We Shell not Exxon-erate Saddam

Great MadTV follow-up to TD satire! If only politicians were required to qualify first with a decade in stand-up.
