Pretty funny. Question is, Pepe: would you laugh at any jokes about The One? From what I can tell, your sense of humor is strictly constricted to topics considered safe by the editorial page of the NYT. We are not amused at commercials poking fun at the self-inflated pinko messiah, are we?

Well, AI, for all Versailles' love of drollery and wit, it was remarkably unidirectional. If any campagnard was so rash as to indulge in a similar vein at the Aristo's expense he'd be quartered, salted, and hung [in that order] before the laugh was dying on his lips.

Any Aristo 'tard can take free speech if its freedom is limited to one dimension. It's the capacity to enjoy the contrarian wit that distinguishes a Tocqueville or Camus from a Le Pew or a Sartre.
