The Other Thing Ted Kennedy Wants to Get Out Of

There is a great parody of Ted Kennedy's speech about the Iraq "quagmire" where it's looking like 70% to 80% of the Iraqi people are voting. IowaHawk, the author, has a pretty good blog, and compares Iraq with--well--an Oldsmobile. Here's a sample,

Like all Americans, I had high hopes for the future of the Oldsmobile and its passengers, as we struggle against the onrushing water and its poorly-designed shoulder belts. But as claustrophobia sets in we must begin to sober up and face the truth: hope is no longer an option.

It is time for us to recognize that our continued presence in this volatile region is a hinderance to the Oldsmobile and its people. Rather than helping the situation we are further weighing down the Oldsmobile, causing it to sink faster and faster into the quagmire of Chappaquidick Bay, creating a dangerous situation for both ourselves as well as its passengers who are desperately seeking an air pocket in which to start a better life.
