Has this been discussed before? If so, I'm sorry but I wasn't aware of this story till today.

I caught a little of C-Span early this morning. They were highlighting political parody and the example being discussed was from http://whitehouse.org/index.asp

It involves a letter sent to whitehouse.org about a parody of Lynne Cheney.

This is the letter http://whitehouse.org/administration/love_letter.asp

And here is a portion of whitehouse.org's parody of what Cheney could have written to them;


Then for 16 long, painful months, we steadfastly ignored "WHITEHOUSE.ORG" and busied ourselves with stuff like wasting ragheads and giving the finger to the rest of the world. Well, all that deliberate and statesmanlike forbearance came to a quick halt one evening last December when I heard my dear, demure wife Lynne scream like a deranged Negress in the next room. At first, I thought our ruggedly masculine daughter Mary had escaped from the attic and given another interview to the homosexual press. But it turned out that while performing her nightly ritual of Googling herself over a tumbler of Riunite on ice, Lynne caught wind of one particularly egregious and America-hating page.

The above quote is from here;
