>Right Wing punditry?  Why, with satire, of course. 
>
>Roy's YouTube videos have garnered over four million views and tens 
>of thousands of comments, many of them coherent.  His songs are 
>heard on NPR and Air America and he's a featured blogger for the 
>Huffington Post. 
>
>"Real American" is 90 minutes of Zimmerman's funny songs and comic 
>commentary, a tuneful examination of the American political 
>landscape in the era of Hope and Change.  Health care, the economy, 
>same-sex marriage, climate change, Creationism, guns, taxes, 
>abstinence and, yes, Obama all come under satirical scrutiny. 
>There's a limbo-like song about Rush Limbaugh.  "How low can you 
>go?" Zimmerman sings.  There's a song about the Orange County 
>Rolling Acres Senior Center Cannabis Club."   There's even a 
>"Sing-along Second Amendment."  (

>The HBO documentary "The Trials of Ted Haggard," directed by 
>Alexandra Pelosi features Roy's song, "Ted Haggard is Completely 
>Heterosexual."  And his tune "Buddy, Can You Spare a Trillion 
>Dollars?" landed him a mention on the front page of the Wall Street 
>Journal, an unaccustomed honor for a folkie. (
