The new administration is a gift to comedy writers who are not under its spell.
How about a skit where Daschle, on his way out of Washington, orders the driver of his limousine to swing by the IRS where Daschle tries to explain to an incredulous receptionist why his payment on back taxes should be returned to him. "You don't understand: I only paid it because I thought I was going to get a position which would advance my career!"
Or how about a skit where Obama has a press conference to unveil a new plan for balancing the budget. He will announce the creation of a new cabinet position: head of the Department of Civil Integrity. Then he will nominate a succession of former congressmen and lobbyists. The subsequent revenue produced as candidates get their back taxes right will balance the budget in a year.
Or, you know, they could do more skits about how dumb Bush is, how mean Cheney is, or how greedy Republicans are.
