While I agree this debate might be disastrous, everyone here realizes this is a satire article, right? It says so right at the bottom of the article.
Many a true word is spoken in jest

Yes,but I am still embarrassed.
Which is why it got filed under "funny."
Too true, all these guys are clowns.
They are indeed! I got such a kick out of this I had to pass it along.
I am embarrassed!

But if we don't air to the rest of the world, it deprives the world's humorists the mother load of comedy material. That's just not fair and could be viewed as protectionist.
The comedy from this will be priceless!
In reality, you don't get to be a top-ranking politician without being an intelligent psychopath. (Or maybe in Bush's case, from a powerful family)
But you're right about them being clowns, in the sense that they're putting on a political circus to keep us thinking we have a say in something, and to keep us distracted by bickering about pointless bullshit like gays in the military etc, and of course the "clowns" themselves.
A hundred years from now, assuming humanity won, people will be amazed by the sheer insanity of the world we live in now.
I think it's more politicians are narcissistic than psychopaths. Constantly 'proving' their self worth through voting systems and then stepping over the people that got them into place to begin with.

Falls under it for sure, but it is not the same thing.

What makes you think that our attitude towards America will be any different hmm?
So many in one place!
You're talking about his hair now, aren't you?
Not me.
Nor I. You'd think,knowing what a laughing stock we are to the world in so many ways,we'd clean up our act, but nope.
But you do have Obama.
Ahh, c'mon! Show some love to homely Jim Bob and his goofy Duggar family!

It's a pity it's satire and not reality. We all know the truth basically supports the article.
They should broadcast it with Yakety Sax playing in the background on a loop.
Who did they survey, the faculty lounge at Sarah Lawrence?
