Who would take a case like that? (John Edwards?
 )The Jib-Jab piece is clearly political satire. These folks need to lighten up.

Fair use and satire/parody only apply to the particular work that is being teased - not using some other work to tease politicians.
Check /. for some insightful commentary. http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/07/27/2221238&tid=153&tid=95&tid=103

Yeah, Slashdot, last bastion of the IP legal expert.
 IIRC, Slashdot is where the acronym "IANAL" was coined.

True re: IANAL
However, there's always something good in the comments. I tend to read at +4, sometimes +3 if I have mod points.
