If Muslims around the world can get all worked and start rioting and burning stuff just because a couple of cartoons depict their beloved prophet, I think that we conservatives are entitled to a little righteous indignation of our own over the latest radio ads from Augie's Sewer & Drain Cleaning playing on local station AM-1280 The Patriot. You know, the spot with a voice-over guy doing the worst impersonation of Ronald Reagan (peace be upon him) ever and desecrating one of his most memorable lines with the embarrassing alteration, "Mr. Gorbachev...call Augie's Sewer & Drain Cleaning today." I wince every time I hear it.
And yes, it's worse than the "Benjamin Franklin: The Punctual Plumber" spot, which ends with a cheesy rendition of the song "8675309 Jenny" (the company actually did secure rights to this phone number).
