"South Park" vs. "King Of the Hill"

Did you see this article about politics and "King of the Hill"? I mention it because it references something I wrote about earlier in a typically confused and rambling post.

The point is that both political parties seem to be using cartoons to better understand the "other side." Conservatives need to watch "South Park" to understand why the Republican party will soon start losing lots and lots of elections. Democrats need to watch "King of the Hill" to understand why they keep losing lots and lots of elections, particularly in the South. One could also make the point that liberals should watch "South Park" so that they can recognize when they're being made fun of (something they seem to have trouble with lately), and conservatives should watch "King of the Hill" for the same reason.

It should go without saying that all politicians could probably benefit more from actually living among their constituents than from trying to ascertain their feelings by watching a TV show produced thousands of miles away. (I'm talking to you, Gov. Easley.)
