Clarice's Pieces: Another Memo From Leni Riefenstahl

Ahh - the subtle difference between satire and sarcasm! This article will challenge your ability to tell what that difference might be.

by Clarice Feldman - January 16th, 2011 - The American Thinker

From: Leni Riefenstahl

To: Barack Obama und Frau Obama

Subject: Politische Kundgebung getarnt als eine Gedenkfeier (Political rally masquerading as a memorial service)

It's been two years since I last wrote. Then it was about the Invesco Field Rally in Denver. Now it's about that rally in Tucson. If you don't mind a few harsh words from someone seasoned in such things, no matter that you tried hard, the tragic incident in Tucson was no Reichstag Fire, and while you made as much of it as you could, you need to hone your shtick a bit better in future. I keep writing to you out of admiration for your political inclinations and skills, of course.

Clarice has given conservatives a good laugh. It is funny - unless you are a progressive. Then your reaction is more likely that you are being mocked - which is, I believe, the point of the article.
