Mark Spittle wasn't trying to create an Internet meme. "Bush in 41.2 Seconds" was done as a parody of the MoveOn.org ads. The intent was to say what a lot of liberals are thinking ("Bush lied"), but to do it in a manner that was so over-the-top it would be funny as much as ludicrous. Because it parodied both MoveOn and the idea of homespun political ads -- two liberal-minded ideals -- it was risky to run on Liberal Oasis. Still, Scher got the joke and the piece went up. Now it's all over the place: "Don't be an Asshole. Vote Democratic." It's pretty darn funny.
