Thanks to Dennis Gilman for posting this piece of comedy genius...

You loved him last time, frothing at the mouth about leftist pigs, throwing pencils at his subordinates, pleading for someone to phone his good buddy J.T. Ready for him.

And you'll love him again, ranting in the bunker, as a fundraiser for his state Senate campaign in Legislative District 25 gets booted from three locations, ending up, at least in jest, at a local IHOP.

That's right, back for more shenanigans is Mesa's own thick-necked, bad-boy nativist Russell Pearce in the role he was born to play: Adolf Hitler in the comedy blockbuster, "Russell Pearce in the Bunker, Part 2."

This gut-busting sequel to the first "Russell Pearce in the Bunker" video plays off a recent Pearce fiasco where a fundraiser for the recalled state Senate President was shut down by a determined posse of anti-Pearce activists.

I don't want to spoil the fun, but let's just say Apache Junction, Pearce's mojo and corndogs, all play prominent roles. Not to mention crab cakes, which, as you will see, are for pansies.

Actually, part two of this Downfall parody doesn't even scratch the surface of Pearce-related material that's occurred since Pearce's "Black Thursday" fundraiser flop.

Notable Pearce incidents of late include the ACLU's recent release of a trove of Pearce's racist e-mails; his failed fundraiser at a Fountain Hills Holiday Inn; his blame-the-victim comments about the tragedy in Aurora, Colorado; and now, an Olivia Cortes-like scandal brewing over Pearce's endorsement by the not-so-well-known (to say the least) "Arizona Teacher's [sic] Association."

So you can bet there will be a part three, and maybe even a part four. Sadly, all the fun will be over when Pearce is defeated August 28 in his comeback GOP primary run in LD 25.

Till then, we should savor every moment.
