Reiteration is OK, but contrast this clip with the Paul Waldman reading (also in Book Authors). Wheras Seder and Sherrill are telling us things we already know -- OMG, the country is run by right-wing fundamentalist crazies!!! -- Waldman gives a thoughtful and pragmatic response on what we can do about it. All I'm saying is we've got enough of the Seders...what we need is more Waldmans.

I agree with rocketdog to an extent, that there really isn't a new arguement presented. However, when a percentage of the country believes that dinosaurs were created as a trick being played by "God", we need all the reiterating we can get. The absurd presentation reflects the absurdity of the people who actually believe what they are satirizing.

This is a very funny presentation, but I'm not really sure if Seder and Sherrill are necessarily contributing anything new to the debate. I mean, who's buying books like this anyway, aside from already well-informed liberals? There's nothing here that wasn't essentially covered in Al Franken's Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot, a book that was written years ago, and that's only one of about a hundred or so examples I could point to from either conservatives or liberals. What good is it really, beyond some self-satisfied finger-pointing and a few laughs for its respective audience?
