The Guardian tries to persuade Clark County voters to save the world

What a load of pompous, self-righteous, self-defeating bollocks (if I can borrow the english term). I mean, I personally loathe GW and think he's a moron (faith-based presidency indeed). That said, this sounds like a Simpsons parody - right down to the choice of location (Springfield?!?).

For a quick update on how well this kite is flying, see here. Some choice quotes:

• "Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions."
• "Mind your own business. We don't need weenie-spined Limeys meddling in our
  presidental election. If it wasn't for America, you'd all be speaking German."
• "...if you don't wish to be an American, to live in Ohio, for instance, and
  participate in the American political process, that is too bad. Perhaps there is
  something wrong with you. Perhaps it is your teeth."

but this one sums the project up in a nutshell, and has the added bonus of having a great new phrase:

"I just read a hilarious proposal to involve your readership in the upcoming US
presidential election. At least, I'm hoping that it is genius satire. Nothing
will do more to undermine the Democratic cause in Ohio than having patronising
Brits wander around Clark County telling people how to vote. Just, for a second,
imagine if the Washington Post sent folks from Ohio to do the same in
Oxfordshire. I'm saying this as a Democrat, and as someone who has spent the
last few years in the UK. That is, with all due respect. Please, please, be
rational, and move slowly away from the self-defeating hubris."
