The Latest JibJab Campaign Satire

>

My Olympics addiction has been replaced by “All Conventions, All The Time.” If you’re a politics junkie like me, you’ll love the latest hilarious campaign satire from the folks at JibJab, the ones who brought you the groundbreaking “This Land” knee-slapper in 2004.

Check out the face on the guy who gets goosed by the politicians toward the very end of the video.

Thanks to my colleague, UCSF hospitalist and IT-guru Russ Cucina, for bringing this new JibJab offering to my attention, and for the surprise ending.

Back to more weighty healthcare matters soon, but this is worth a couple of minutes.
