In The Spirit of Bipartisanship....

...chasovschik mentioned in the comments that the Kennedy family has long opposed the Cape Wind project in Nantucket. Projects like this are of great interest to me (and was discussed of a recent episode of NPR's To The Point), so I thought I'd post this 2007 Daily Show report on the subject.

Stupid liberal satirists showing independent thought and confusing me!! I'm gonna go listen to Rush Limbaugh and see how he wants me to feel about this.

Was that before or after he invented the internet?

That is a lot of bullshit. I've spent a load of time on the Cape and my happiest childhood memories are from there. I understand some of the arguments against the wind farm, but I think that the pros by far outweigh the cons and I've always been in favor of the wind farm. They kind of exaggerate things in this video, but they also sort of hit the nail on the head.

[blueduck37]

The video is very clearly pro-wind farm. It's designed to mock how selfish its opponents are.
