New Zealand has taken campaign finance "reform" to a whole other level, passing a law that gives the parliament power to regulate political parody and satire (h/t Instapundit).This is why it's hard not to make slippery-slope arguments against the "reforms" the media in this country are constantly pushing, we can see the eventual result--politicians outlawing any kind of criticism of themselves…
