I Got What America Needs Right Here
in The Onion by The Onion, 9 January 2008
"Jimmy Carter" spews the finest in foul-mouthed vitriol in this op-ed, pointing out that he was organizing Middle East peace talks when today's presidential candidates were "still sucking on their mamas' titties." He slams Americans for not heeding his advice, but he's off the market for another presidential bid; America, he says, already had its chance. If we'd listened to his pleas for solar power -- for which he did not win an Oscar -- maybe we wouldn't be relying on Saudi Arabia for oil. Granted, this isn't cutting satire, but The Onion captures the feelings of the country's frustrated populace and soothes it with some old-fashioned potty-mouth.
