The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

He also didn't say either of them would be Hitler.

It seems pretty clear to me that he simply meant it was a meeting between people who have nothing in common, don't like each other, and can't possibly accomplish anything by having a meeting. (Though given Hank's politics it is also clear that if roles were assigned, Obama would be the Hitler side.)

But the first rule of public political discussion is you never use Hitler in any way unless you want it to be taken in the worst possible way. That said, it is a stupid song so if buckets of faux outrage is what it takes to end the tradition then I must say this outrages more than anything since I learned Jaleel White was a klan member and this lead to the end of Family Matters.
