MoveOn.org has winnowed down the 1500 entries in its “Bush in 30 Seconds” contest to 15 finalists, via an open online vote. This one is my favorite among the finalists.
There’s an absurd dustup being fanned by the Republicans about how one of the entries in the original 1500 likened Bush to Hitler. Excessive? Sure. Godwin’s Law manifestation? Sure. But look, guys, it was an open competition: far as I can tell, MoveOn screened the entries for basic video quality and to screen out obscenities — it wasn’t exercising editorial control. Note that the Nazi comparison didn’t make it into the finalist round. If this is the best MoveOn’s opponents can do, it doesn’t say much for them.
