Campaign satire spares no one

No one gets spared in the new 2008 presidential campaign web video from the folks at jibjab.com -- not John McCain, not Barack Obama, not Hillary Clinton, not President Bush.

In a mocking cartoon sung to Bob Dylan's "The Times, They Are A-Changin," McCain is shown as a warmonger, Obama as a fluffy dreamer riding a unicorn, Clinton as a bitter loser already pointing to 2012, and Bush as an albatross around McCain's neck.

The creators first gained notice for their 2004 video satirizing President Bush and Senator John F. Kerry with a little ditty sung to "This Land is Your Land." (Kerry calls Bush a "right-wing nut job;" Bush replies that Kerry is a "pinko commie.")
