Giant Douches and Turd Sandwiches

Matt Stone and Trey Parker did it again. They took a sentiment shared by millions around the world, frustrated time and time again with the current state of democracy and the frightening lack of decent political candidates. This election is no different, having had all the interesting democratic contenders like Al Sharpton, Howard Dean and...uhm...well, Al Sharpton and Howard Dean, trimmed from the race through the beautiful primary system.

They deliver the usual forced message dulled by the nuances that accompany a giant douche or a piece of shit surrounded by lettuce, cheese, and bread. Unfortunately, we don't have a choice. We can rally behind those "interesting" candidates all we want but whenever it counts, chances are, we'll be let down and disappointed in the end. Such is the game of politics. As the PETA member tells Stan near the end of the episode, it takes a douche or a turd to tough it out long enough in politics to be on the ballot.
