It is a video spoofing an incident that occurred in early 2006. I have to give it credit to the singer for sounding a lot like Steven Tyler. Other than that, though, it is one joke that continues all through the overlong video. Not much to see overall after the first minute has gone by.

I remember back in about 1990 Australian TV comedy was obsessed with political, topical humour. I remember making the remark at the time, when someone did a sketch about the pilots' strike, "see if you can get a Brazilian to laugh at that in six months."

I'm aware I'm being pretty harsh on this, but basically it's a piece of very topical political satire with a short, fairly catchy tune - and that's it. It's already not funny. Eventually it'll be as funny as if someone did a flash animation about Jimmy Carter hitting a rabbit with a canoe paddle (he actually did that, apparently. Isn't that a riot?)

It's not outright bad, but it's destined for oblivion. Gets a half star because the music is ok.

NB: FWIW, if I were American I wouldn't be a Republican, so that has nothing to do with it.
