In "A Brodner Minute," Steve Brodner's animated video series for The Washington Spectator, the illustrator skewers the 2012 candidates and other targets. Here, Brodner envisions key elements of the deficit debate -- including the sequester rule and the Simpson-Bowles act -- as the plot of a very Washingtonian disaster movie. Grover Norquist has a leading role, but there are cameos for Homer Simpson, ovine Democrats, George W. Bush, and even Kim Kardashian.
