POLITICAL MASH UP, PART TWO 

Scott's post yesterday about the Hilary Clinton mash-up inspired me to quickly write about the sterling work done by rx, the undisputed master of the political mash-up. His brilliant, and very funny, little creations are usually constructed by cutting and pasting words and phrases so that he gets leading political figures to 'sing' classic songs like My Name Is, My Generation and Imagine. In their own very distinctive way, that is.

I've posted the YouTube video for Imagine below, and look out for more good stuff from rx as we build up to 2008.
