I’m crying foul, whether Obama’s team is or not, over Saturday Night Live’s just announced guest this week which, if anyone’s counting, happens to be the Saturday before Election Day. Yes, the winner for the spot is…John McCain.
It’s long been known that SNL producer Lorne Michaels is a fan of McCain’s, having maxed out campaign […]

Video: Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and North Carolina’s favorite son, Andy Griffith, revise their classic TV roles in support of Barack Obama.
Hey Tar Heels: Show this video to your McCain-leaning grandparents. If Andy Griffith can’t sell them on Obama, nobody can.

Hands-down, my favorite part of Letterman’s interview with John McCain was when he asked the lying bastard about pallin’ around with G. Gordon Liddy, convicted Watergate burglar and rightwing whack job. Watch McCain’s reaction, which went from, “Oh shit!” to “I’ll pretend I’m not sure,” to “I can lie my way out of this.”

McCain, as […]

The Obama campaign provides a terrifying glimpse into the future, if people don’t register and then vote the right way.
I’m not sure how to feel about this ad. The New Age side of me worries about the power of visualization, which I believe is strong.
What do you think? Is this a good way to […]

Chris Rock made some great points on Larry King Live.
KING: You must be…proud that at this stage in our history a black man is running for president on a major ticket.
ROCK: Um, you know what? I’m proud Barack Obama’s running for president. You know? If it was Flavor Flav, would I be proud? No. […]

John McCain might be wishing he hadn’t stood up David Letterman as the first visible act of his “campaign suspension.”
After establishing in detail McCain’s history as a war hero and his lack of animosity toward him, Dave asks, “What happened to that guy?” From there, it just gets better and better, with Letterman filling the […]

This video of the buffoonish morning crew at Fox News is laughable at first. The idea that the newsreaders and spokesmodels employed by the propaganda organ of the Bush White House political shop would spend five minutes criticizing another media outlet for bias is a real hoot.
To be clear, Rachel Maddow in no way […]

Absolutely no argument there, Terry. Let this be a lesson to any reporter about getting too caught up in your own oratory.
Hilarious!
