Frank Bruni's Let Our Lawmakers Hide exemplifies perfectly used satire throughout the entire article. Bruni chooses to write on this topic because he fells the need to let everyone know about how the senators are making decisions for our country, by sacrificing their own morals to appease everyone within the House of Representatives. The pleas make Bruni makes throughout the article, are quiet hysterical. At two points within the article, he suggests the senators put brown paper bags and ski masks over there face. He does this by saying that no one would know who they were so they would be free to support which ever side to any argument they want freely. If our own government is having bullying problems, what does that say about the rest of the country?
