BarackBook

Ladies, Gentlemen, I give you BarackBook.

Now, I'm not one hundred percent convinced that it is as funny or as clever as it thinks it is, but it does at least represent the Republicans going with something approaching gentle satire. Rather than vicious, personal jibes. Although if you click into some of the *friends*, it does get quite near to the bone.

What does make me smile is the comment at the bottom:

BarackBook.com is a parody of Facebook.com

I'm pretty sure that John McCain genuinely didn't authorise this site. After all, given his knowledge of the internet, he probably doesn't know what Facebook is.
