The Wonkette household settled down last night to watch Joe Dante's zombie political satire, "The Homecoming" and we can now report that it is even better than the concept of a zombie political satire about disenfranchised undead soldiers has any right to be. Reviewers had already pointed to the Ann Coulterish "Jane Cleaver" character, what we delighted in was the horse-legged-for-horse-legged duplication of Coulter's TIME cover as Cleaver's book jacket photos. Also good: The warning the protagonist receives about her, "Be careful son. She's what we used to call a...skank." The Karl Rove character's dubious sexuality is a nice touch as is his spin on the realization that the only soldiers returning as zombies are ones who oppose the war: "Look at all the veterans who support our cause by staying in their graves!" Funny because it's true.

Showtime airs it again Thursday.
