‘SNL’ Presents: The Vice Presidential Debate
Saturday Night Live opened last night’s episode with a skit parodying the Vice Presidential debate that took place between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin at Washington University in St. Louis, MO earlier this week. Here, for your viewing pleasure, is the SNL skit in full which featured Jason Sudeikis as Biden [...]
Everyone in Politics Going Crazy!!!!!!!
First up, a clip of a baffling, career-ending gaffe at a Joe Biden event in Tampa, followed by footage from a Pennsylvanian McCain-Palin rally, in which the Republican nominee for president makes one of the most chilling and revealing verbal missteps we've ever heard.
Sounds like everyone needs a damn nap.

'The Number of Porn Movies Currently Being Shot With Joe Biden Look-Alikes Is Alarming' [The Commies]
Well so, OK, the world is ruined. The concept of "money" no longer exists and a makeshift barter system has sprung up in its place. A soiled wig is worth one subway ride, a clean wig is worth a taxi ride, and a Commie for best comment of the week? Worth it's weight in m.f.'in gold. So praise the six who've received the honor this week after the jump, then plot and scheme as to how to steal it away from them.From meechybee in The McCain Wanders Around Aimlessly Montage: "OMG, it's my dad at the mall!"From Bu

Ifill: Palin "Blew Me Off"
Gwen Ifill joined Tom Brokaw and others on Meet the Press this morning as part of a panel discussing the VP debate. She describes how she was put in a tough position as moderator because of both candidates' styles. "Joe Biden decided that he was going to debate John McCain, and she decided she was going to give a stump speech to the American people, there's very little a moderator can do," said Ifill. Below is the clip from MTP, and after the jump, check out Saturday Night Live's interpretation of the debat
Obama and McCain Focus on the Health Care Issues
WASHINGTON,DC(RUSHPRNEWS)10/09/2008--In this week’s debates, the candidates spent a lot of time talking about health care. Health care is on a lot of people’s minds this election, as health insurance rates keep rising and leave many families unable to afford much-needed health care.
Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a health care plan that will make quality health care affordable and accessible for every American. It builds on the existing health care plan. So if you like you’re health in
Joe Biden Likes To Laugh! A Lot!
Say what you will about Joe Biden, the man has a sense of humor. Or a bizarre, disturbing disease that makes it physically impossible for him to stop laughing. Could go either way, really.

POLITICIANS OR MOB BOSSES, PT. 5
MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell asks Obama spokesperson Bill Burton about the “ugliness” we’ve seen at Palin-McCain rallies in recent days…
Burton, ever on the “on-message” guy, downplayed the significance of the random calls for murder and instead claimed that whatever “anger” exists over there is misplaced, that what McCain should be angry about the shrinking middle class… blah blah blah.
So we’ve got Joe Biden rightly calling attention to this

The New Great Depression hobo pictured here is Joe Biden, getting on the hobo train from Washington to Delaware to tend to his adult children. Joe Biden therefore cannot debate tonight, so lil’ old Hopey will have to debate against the old fart in his place. Who can pretend he will fix the economy more to these town hall people? Are any of them hot? No they are fat, and Barack Obama will drop air bombs on them or whatever is it Palin says. (Here are Part I and Part II.)

'SNL' Will Have Its Reward In Heaven After This Sarah Palin Debate Skit [Third Term In Office]
With less than a month left to go in this presidential election, Saturday Night Live expands its resurgent political brand into special Thursday episodes starting this week, though it's hard to see how they could possibly outdo the trilogy of Tina Fey-as-Sarah Palin appearances that continued into last night's episode. Spoofing the mega-rated vice presidential debate, Fey joined Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden and the previously-rumored Queen Latifah as moderator Gwen Ifill for a blockbuster, near-twelve minute

The world has turned on its axis and what was true is false and what's false is true, or else there's no way that John McCain would think he could get away with saying, during a rally yesterday, that Barack Obama doesn't answer questions, gets touchy when he's questioned about his record and te

Dukakis on the Election: Obama Knows How to Win, 'McCain Has Nothing'
When John McCain’s campaign made it clear over the weekend that their stretch-run strategy would lean heavily on raising questions about Barack Obama’s personal history and past “associations,” Obama’s communications director provided a simple, almost indifferent reaction to the Washington Post: “This isn’t 1988.”
Michael Dukakis, the Democratic presidential nominee whose campaign was eviscerated that year by tactics ripped from the same playbook from which Mr. McCain now seems intent on bor
The Ratings Drought: Where's the Next Roseanne?
So we've pretty much established that nobody's watching anything this season. New shows are middling at best in the ratings, relaunched shows like Chuck and ABC's Wednesday have cratered—even hits like House and Grey's are not doing so hot.
OK, part of this is demographic, social and technological. 500 channels, time-shifting, blah blah blah. There are just more, and smaller audiences now. That's not gonna change. And yet 70 million people watched Joe Biden and Sarah Palin for 90 minutes—proving ther
YOUNG JEEZY GETTING POLITICAL…AGAIN…
There’s less than a month until Election Day, and Young Jeezy is still putting the word out for everyone to get to the polls this year. The Snowman is leaning heavily toward the Democratic side, especially since Republican presidential nominee John McCain chose Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. “I like Joe [Biden] a little bit better than Sarah,” Jeezy said recently. “I understand she’s the soccer mom and all that, and that’s good.

Thoughts on 'The Obama Show'
That Barack Obama’s campaign has selected a Wednesday at 8 p.m. slot to run its half-hour infomercial is pretty convenient for networks, given that some broadcasters are struggling to draw viewers to that time period anyway -- “Obama ... cancels ‘Knight Rider,’” is how Gawker gleefully put it.
And Obama really should trump the talking car. By the numbers, Obama is one of the biggest breakout TV stars of the season. His convention speech drew more than 38 million viewers. You know which primetime

Tina Fey Scores Big Laughs Again in 'SNL' Debate Parody
Tina Fey returned once again to "Saturday Night Live" as Sarah Palin as the late-night comedy show continued its political momentum by offering a parody of last week's vice presidential debate.
Fey kicked off the debate as Palin by saying how nice it was to finally get to meet her running mate Joe Biden, played by "SNL" cast member Jason Sudeikis.
"May I say, up close, your hair plugs don't look nearly as bad as everyone says," Fey's Palin told Biden.
Mary Hart's Sit-Down Interview With John & Cindy McCain

John tells Mary he was very pleased with Palin's performance during the debate with Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden -- a broadcast that received the highest TV ratings in history for a VP debate.

Clintons launch campaign swing for Obama in Pa.
AP - When Bill and Hillary Clinton take the stage Sunday at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, it will be the launch of an active campaign for their former nemesis Barack Obama in the home stretch of the 2008 presidential race.
The nation’s best known and most powerful Democrats for nearly two decades, the former first couple is getting used to a new role: cheerleaders for Obama, who vanquished Hillary Clinton last spring in a Democratic primary contest for the ages.
