YouTube Endorsement Puts Obama Campaign In Jeopardy [Election Swinging To And Fro]
I write you, my friends, at a grave time in this country's history. Apparently people think they can just record any old YouTube endorsement of Barack Obama without the possibility of it backfiring and costing the Democrats the presidency. Ben Affleck endorsed John McCain for the greater good of the Democratic Party last night. If you're like him and you find yourself with a lower IQ than the norm and access to a video camera, don't post your thoughts to the internet, especially when those thoughts involve

SNL & Weekend Update With John McCain & Tina Fey as Palin: Videos!!
  John McCain, making his third appearance on Saturday Night Live (once back in May and as well, in 2002), showed his funny side, doing a QVC skit with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin.  The spoof was, they were trying to sell items because it was the only channel that McCain could afford to buy airtime on - poking fun at Obama's informercial.  It was pretty funny actually!  And as usual, Fey was brilliant as Palin, capturing the 'hockey mom, I'm a regular person' person

"I'm A True Maverick, A Republican Without Money" [Clips]
Looking to score some badly-needed points with the American people, John McCain appeared alongside Tina Fey on Saturday Night Live last night to poke a little fun at himself, his running mate, and his opponent, Sen. Barack Obama. Claiming that he couldn't afford the airtime that Obama had last week and that he could only afford a night on QVC, McCain and "Palin" set off to push such quality products as John McCain's Pork Knives, Sarah Palin's William Ayers Fresheners, and McCain Fine Gold (Feingold) jewelry

One Voicemail You Won't Be Getting [The Dark Knight]
McSweeney's offers us some fictitious robocall scripts rejected by the McCain campaign, and this one caught our eye: "Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC because you need to know that Barack Obama talks during movies. During a recent screening of The Dark Knight, Barack Obama irritated several pro-America patrons when he echoed the famous 'Why so serious?' line to his wife, Michelle, who hasn't always been proud of being an American, much like the Joker. He'll raise his voice over Heath Ledger's.

‘Quality, Value & Convenience’ From John McCain

10 SF Alternatives To Obama/McCain 08 [Political Science (fiction)]
I know, I know; you can't decide whether to go for McCain or Obama, and you're thinking of just skipping this whole "election" thing altogether. But wait - have you thought about all of the other candidates for President of the United States? I'm not talking about Ralph Nader - he's got no chance - but instead the various science fictional candidates who'd like your write-in vote on Tuesday. We've got a guide to ten(ish - You'll see) that you should consider. Kirk Spock 08: They've saved the Earth

Securing her spot as a nominee for the Jerk ... [Halloween]
Securing her spot as a nominee for the Jerk of the Year award, Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe, Michigan drove children to tears on Halloween when she refused to hand out candy to "Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters." Nagel actually had the nerve to turn little kids away empty-handed if they preferred Barack Obama (who Nagel deems "scary") to John McCain, showing little sympathy for the tykes who left her doorstep in tears. "Oh well," Nagel said, "Everybody has a choice." Yes they

With Less Than 72 Hours To Go, Some Voters Still Haven't Made Up Their Minds [Circle One, Yes No Maybe]
In less than three days, Americans will be electing a new president. For many of us, our voting booth decision was made long ago, and some of us have already sent in our ballots, certain of the choice we have made. But for some Americans, there is still, still, a lingering sense of doubt when it comes to their vote. It is easy to label undecided voters as ignorant or clueless; I admit to being frustrated with people who haven't made up their minds at this point, so far into the election, but it appears tha

An Extra Hour To Watch John McCain On SNL
A special message from Senator John McCain It's Daylight Savings, sleepyheads. That means an extra hour of shuteye, and an extra hour to catch up on last night's Saturday Night Live. Above, watch the real John McCain and fake Sarah Palin open the show. Their QVC skit is hilarious, and the Cindy McCain cameo is pure random perfection! Below, check out McCain as he teams up with Seth Meyers on Weekend Update to discuss new strategies for the remaining days of the campaign--like the "Reverse Maverick," "The

"Sad Grandpa" Hits Weekend Update [Clips]
Senator John McCain made a second appearance on SNL last night, popping up on Weekend Update (which just isn't the same without Amy Poehler, I must say) to discuss his last-minute campaign strategies. McCain runs through a list of potential options, including the "Reverse Maverick," "The Sad Grandpa," "The Forrest Gump," and "The Rocky IV." The whole thing is silly, but also a bit sad: McCain comes across as pretty defeated and resigned, and one wonders if it was fun or embarrassing for him to sit dow

Sarah Palin Gets Crank Pranked But Good (Video! And Palin Response! GOD THIS IS FUN!)
 Just when you thought that the tragi-comedy that is Sarah Palin running for vice-president, this happens: an epically awesome prank gets pulled that reveals her - shockers! as the ambitious dimwit that she is. After this, the McCain appearance on SNL just seems boooring. A Canadian comedy duo known as The Masked Avenger got a hold of the Governor and tricked her - OH YES THEY DID - into believing that she was actually speaking with French President Nicolas Sarkozy. A highlight is when the fake Sarkozy

Finally! Cindy McCain On SNL
I was totally waiting for the night Cindy McCain would make an appearance on "SNL" in some way, shape or form and figured it wasn't going to happen since Amy Poehler (the only ho who could really play Cindy) is dealing with something called a newborn baby. I know, selfish, right? Well, the little doll lover made it to "SNL" last night and played herself in the opening QVC sketch with her maverick-ey husband John McCain and Tina Fey. Those bitches at QVC don't have shit on Cindy. She seriously has a career

Affleck as Olbermann: "It is the Fear and the Tyranny Up With Which We Dare No Longer Put"
So, the Keith Olbermann skit made it into the live edition of SNL last night. Ben Affleck, who's been a guest on Countdown, played Olbermann to the extreme, and that's not easy to do. We were particularly fond of Fred Armisen's turn as Richard Wolffe. ABC's Jake Tapper, in what is probably his shortest blog post ever, thought Affleck was "brilliant" as Olbermann. What did you think? The clip that's getting the most play on cable news and Sunday talk shows this morning: the real John McCain and the fak

McCain Lovin' Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Did She Get Death Threats?
Conservative Elisabeth Hasselbeck makes her political views very known on The View. Even though, she's definitely one-sided at times (and perhaps a little annoying), I certainly don't think a married mom of two, who just happens to be on TV should get death threats because of her political opinion5 Vote(s)

SNL: Olbermann Skit (Video)

You can read more about it below, see photos and watch the video. Ben Affleck Ben Affleck was Saturday Night Live’s guest host and did a skit where he played MSNBC commentator Keith Olbermann accusing President Bush of being a racist, called the McCain campaign a group of Nazis and passionately offered a special comment abo

Saturday Night Live: Ben Affleck/David Cook - VIDEOS
Filed under: OpEd, Saturday Night Live, Episode Reviews, Reality-Free (S34E07) Although I have fond memories of Mango and Ben Who-fleck working Saturday Night Live together back in the day, I was pretty disappointed by this episode. I think someone told Ben Affleck that he's pretty all right on SNL and it got to his head, because he was trying way, way too hard. It was almost to the point where it was unbearably awkward. If not for Senator John McCain's appearances, this episode would have been wholly unrem
