Flogging a pinto might not be too safe.

The blog commenters don't seem to have any sense of humor on them. But it's Fox News blog so I would have to expect that.

I think that (for everyone) "sense of humor" is inversely proportional to the degree that you are the target of said humor.

Except that Obama spent his speech satirizing himself, rather than, for example, Fox News viewers.

I mean, look at this:

“The truth is, as I have said all along, I have no ambition to run an auto company. I’m not the salesman-in-chief and GM will rise or fall on the quality of its products; like the taut, athletic design of the new Buick Enclave. Its French-seamed leather and warm wood tones make the Enclave more than transportation. It’s a modern driver’s retreat! Come on, work with me here! I’ve got cars to move, people!”
No, "Eric R", that's not "hypocrisy". That would be ... something ... else.

It seems Eric R is guilty of "oppositionocrisy."
