Beyond Parody, Part II
Power Line — Under the title, "Have We Created More Pirates?" Paul quoted a parody of a stereotypical liberal's reaction to our campaign, such as it is, against Somalian pirates. Now Al Sharpton has stepped into the breach with a characterization of the pirates that no parodist could have come up with: they are Somalia's "voluntary Coast Guard."

Sister Toldjah — “You can call me now at 1 877 532 5797, (to say) something about the so-called pirates. They call themselves voluntary Coast Guards in Somalia, which may be more apt. Ah, whatever your view.” - Al Sharpton on his syndicated radio show earlier today. Ed Morrissey’s got the audio. Hey, didn’t ya know that pirates are just “misunderstood“?
