Yes! This Ticket Is McCain-Palin

Put the focus back on John McCain. Maybe the next video can also make fun of Transformers. Later is a good time to show the trophy gov in her "fantasy" trophy room, with the heads of all her victims.

Palin and Assembly of God Linguistics

At some point, Palin may send the crackpot evangelicals into a frenzy (to the delight of the Plutocrats who dredged her up) by demonstrating her facility of speaking in tongues with possibily some laying-on-of-hands thrown in. Before long, we may see endorsements of her by Fred "born again" Barnes of Fox Newstwisters and of Kristol's Weekly Standard fish-wrapper, and by former Senator and Attorney General John Ashcroft, an Assembly of God member, whose father was a pastor in that church and who anointed John at the beginning of his several political tenures.

Damn John,

This is one of the funniest pieces I have seen in a long time.

Wonder if the word flip-flop becomes popular during his campaign or not?

Why are Daily Show clips ALWAYS more biting and powerful than Democratic Party political ads?

Even if Obama took that short bit showing McCain's blatant flip-flops and made just that a commercial, it would be his best ad yet. But instead Democrats keep talking about how McCain "served with bravery" or whatever.

Save the shiny, happy Kumbaya stuff for after the election!
