Have you noticed this? - Satire in "Glee"

One example of satire, which is perhaps not as apparent as others I have discussed on this blog, is how the character Kitty is portayed in the TV-series "Glee". A lot of different views and ideologies are satirized in her. She plays the role of the ruthless Republican, continously making fun of people with less means than herself (her political views are  expressed early on in the show when she feels outsmarted and says: "You're both gonna regret this turn of events because I will tell you one more thing: Obama's gonna lose."). She also plays the role of the Christian with a double moral; ignoring certain Christian values while using some to scare and intimate others ("Y'all are sinners, and you'd better get right with God tout-de-suite because Jesus just logged onto Orbitz and booked himself a plane ticket back to Earth. See, he's got an awesome dad named God who's throwing him a bitchin' party called Armageddon, where he's gonna get to kick off his sandals, dance a little bit, and judge the crap out of everybody.")

Kitty - Obama's gonna lose 

You could argue that if this is satire a lot of things should be considered satire. This might very well be true. The only thing I know is that Kitty's beliefs are based on truths (there are people that, more or less, act like her and share her beliefs), which is one essential rule of satire. Moreover, these views look ridiculous when expressed by her and thereby make us reconsider them, which is the second most vital rule of satire.
