Nov 2 2008John McCain meets Tina Fey's Sarah Palin
Before we dive into today's posting, did everyone remember to set your clocks back? If you didn't, congratulations, you can smoke/drink/pray to the Baby Jesus your face off for another hour because you're ahead of the game!
The Superficial: We're Like a Freakin' National Treasure Over Here.
Senator John McCain stopped by Saturday Night Live last night and has to know he lost this thing. He did a QVC infomercial with Tina Fey's Sarah Palin and this sketch had everything: Joe Biden, William Ayers, Cindy McCain (The real one!) and the infamous "Rogue Sarah." Give it a watch then try not to build a time machine so you can jump ahead to Wednesday before you jab yourself in the eye with a lapel pin. In the meantime, I need to see a man about a flux capacitor.
UPDATE: It was a shoe. Never trust the homeless.

Numerous people are discussing her on ^^^^^^FitnessKiss. C O M^^ ^^^^. So interesting! Join us. Add your peculiar comments.

I wonder if Obama's illegal aunt watched this clip on her government provided TV in her government subsidized housing?
Any more liberals want to complain about "proper vetting"? Wait, because it's a democrat it's OK.
19. Dr. Otto Van DerWahl - November 2, 2008 10:42 AM
Dr. Otto would like to endorse Ms. Palin for the 2010 election

Funny!
21. pete - November 2, 2008 10:50 AM
I would have voted for THIS McCain. It's who I thought he was before the campaign began.
22. Mindy - November 2, 2008 10:53 AM
#18 - once again, only negativity. You guys stopped talking up McCain over Obama weeks ago. Now all you do is trash Obama. Everybody can see that and all it does is spread the odor of defeat.
23. Stanky - November 2, 2008 11:17 AM
#22 - The opposite of any negative thing about Obama is a positive thing for McCain. McCain doesn't have illegal alien relatives living off your tax money. That's positive.
24. Matt - November 2, 2008 11:20 AM
This reeks of desperation. Even tina fey looks uncomfortable. I wish he's just give up. Atleast Obama can eat solid foods. All mccain has to look forward to is Tuesday nights when cindy purees a salisbury steak for him.
25. chance - November 2, 2008 11:21 AM
If Obama loses because of racism would it be ironic that maybe jeremiah wright was right that caucasians wouldn't vote for a black man. Or maybe wright was using reverse psychology to spur white guilt. I guess its up to whether people want change or a grandpa who will sleep through the next 4 year, hah.
26. Stanky - November 2, 2008 11:32 AM
#24 and 25, please see #22. Hypocritical libs.
27. M - November 2, 2008 11:42 AM
I hate americans, 99% of them are stupid. i'm glad for all the misfortune happening to them and if mccain is elected, another shot in the foot. mwa hahaha
28. StupidAmericans - November 2, 2008 11:54 AM
Yeah #27, feel the same way, you guys deserve McCain. If you're fucking retarded enough to vote in another lot of Republicans, you can all go down with the ship that you call the American Empire. You're all fucked.

McCain's an alright guy. I'd have a beer with him.
I'd never, not ever, vote for him, though.
And I'm fairly certain that I could take Palin in bare-knuckle foxy boxing.
31. Kierin - November 2, 2008 12:57 PM
#27 and #28- then why are you reading and posting on an American website, which mainly discusses American celebrities?
32. Tawny - November 2, 2008 1:19 PM
It doesn't reek of desperation - it's genuinely funny. Even if you are planning to vote Obama it's okay to admit that the other side had a sense of humor.
33. suz - November 2, 2008 1:23 PM
freaking awesome! of course i already voted for him since obama is a lying waffling moron

the problem is not america- its just certain people just like you who live there.
you have a problem- so you find a target to take it out on (american people).....thats not fixing anything
in fact its exactly how Bush approached the terrorist issue...like i said , "M" --its people like you that are the problem........
36. Melissa - November 2, 2008 1:40 PM
#35 - Amen.
I'll just be glad when all the political crap is over so all you stupid fucks with bare minimum educations (if that), that think you can hold your weight in a legitimate, intellectual political conversation of facts and facts only, can shut the fuck up once and for all.
37. missy - November 2, 2008 2:36 PM
obama is for the poor who pump out the kids and expect the rest of us to pay for them through our hard earned taxes.
i work 40 to 60 hours a week i don't want my hard earned dollars going to stupid fucks who cant use a condom or get real jobs
obama is also for the stupid fucks who believe his load of crap.
38. Billo - November 2, 2008 2:49 PM
What's the difference between Sarah Palin's pussy and her mouth?
Retarded things come out of her pussy only some of the time.
39. VN - November 2, 2008 3:11 PM
@37
Yeah, and the Republicans are the ones who don't want to educate their kids on how to prevent pregnancies and also don't allow for abortion which would rob Obama from allowing us to "pay for the ones who pump out kids". Are you legally retarded because if so, let me know and I'll retract my comments.
On that insightful note, I must say that it's not cool to make fun of tards (unless it's ol Tard Baby Palin). God must hate that woman to curse her with a 'tarded kid.
and @38
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! WIN!
40. missy - November 2, 2008 3:14 PM
i don't have kids it is the dems & illegals who pump out the kids to get more welfare
41. britboysarehot - November 2, 2008 3:23 PM
John McCain always had a sense of humor. I respect theman for surviving 5 yearsat a POW camp. However, hischoice of a running mate is a brainwashed sheep. There needs to be a separation of church and state.
42. kasey - November 2, 2008 3:47 PM
a true maverick-- a republican without money.
#18-- Obama is not responsible for his aunt's actions, sorry. he hardly even knows her. if your relatives did something illegal without you knowing (say, blow up a building), would you be responsible for what they did? if you believe in "inherited guilt'" you'd fit right in with the north korean oppressors.
43. Republican - November 2, 2008 3:59 PM
Sarah Palin is so dumb .... it took her 2 hrs to watch 60 minutes.
Sarah Palin is so dumb .... she got hit by a parked car.
Sarah Palin is so dumb .... she studied for and failed a urine test.
44. slimgoodi17 - November 2, 2008 5:02 PM
I agree with 32. It's not desperation, why the heck not. This was hilarious. I had no idea McCain could be so funny. No matter who you vote for, everyone should be able to appreciate the humor in this skit.
45. Air Mail - November 2, 2008 6:42 PM
Americans are taught that they are racist. Every year, in every school and goverment workplace, we have 'Black History Month.' Why? because white people are racist! Why do we still have quotas? White people are racist! If you ask about the American Civil War ending slavery, we are told the war was not about slavery... So, I guess Oprah being about the richest Woman in America must be a lie, Affirmative action at medical school but not in the NFL is fine; and i guess that slavery ended because black folks just freed themselves. Historic note: After the Civil War, American and British ships patrolled and fought slavers off of the Africian coasts.
46. missywissy - November 2, 2008 6:51 PM
It's a shame our candidates for the President of the United States have to go on a late night comedy show to try to appeal to people. What's happening to our dignity and respect? Is it that much in shitter? I bet other countries are looking at us and wondering what the hell we're thinking. Can we only get our respect by pushing other countries around?
47. Sid - November 2, 2008 7:36 PM
Jesus, lighten up. Most "enlightened" countries don't require their political leaders to be humorless drones. Quite the opposite. If you want that, move to Iran. Otherwise, learn to appreciate politicians who can poke fun at the all the bullshit in their chosen profession.
48. Ed B. - November 2, 2008 8:19 PM
JESUS FUCK, STOP IT WITH THE SARAH PALIN SNL SKIT.
It's not funny. It wasn't funny. It never will be.
49. Anon - November 2, 2008 8:25 PM
After the US civil war American ships JOINED British ships that was already patrolling looking for slavers.
50. Mugato - November 2, 2008 9:39 PM
You can call 99% of Americans stupid, that's cool. We'll just be over here inventing virtually every piece of technology you use, filming virtually every motion picture you watch and basically driving your economy.
51. Air Mail - November 2, 2008 9:50 PM
#49
True. The Brits outlawed slavery about 50 years before America. The Brits patrolled the east coast to stop the Muslims, and America sailed the West coast to stop the Portagee slavers.
52. lori - November 2, 2008 10:03 PM
The only funny thing about that was when he was booed when he first came on. Call it quits, grandpa. No one's buying your worn-out, war-mongering, stale ideas. Except maybe racists and white people over 70.
53. Maggie - November 2, 2008 10:14 PM
I applaud McCain for being able to poke fun at himself, something Obama is completely unable to do since he thinks he's the messiah come to earth. He wants to raise taxes exponentially for the wealthy, so who's going to want to succeed in America if they're just going to tax you into the ground? Prejudicing someone because they or their ancestors worked hard and accomplished something is just as wrong as prejudicing someone who's skin is a different color. Who's going to want to become a doctor or a lawyer if they'd make the same amount of money as the guy bagging groceries? The rich provide the employment, people, without them millions of Americans would be jobless. Maybe if we didn't hand out tax dollars to the lazy slobs who refuse to work we could actually turn things around.
America is about working hard to succeed, it's not about cranking out children and then having your hand out for money to feed them. Every person I've ever seen use food stamps was buying chips, frozen pizza and cigarettes so forgive me if I'm not exactly jumping at the chance to have my hard earned money pay for their starving kids.
Universal health care is a terrible idea. Again, part of the reason we have so many good doctors, dentists, ect. is because it's a rich industry and a lot of people go into it to make money. Universal healthcare would equal cheaper procedures with less profit, thus equaling less doctors and lower standards out of desperation. Sure you can have heart surgery for $100 but the guy operating on you graduated from Jim's House o' Learnin' with a 1.0 GPA.
This would be the same for abortions, which if Obama gets his way would be completely legalized but also covered under universal health care which would mean even less competent doctors performing the incredibly dangerous operations.
And I think it's incredibly racist to even consider voting for Obama just because he's black ( which is honestly a stretch ). Yet a lot of people are doing just that, you could read them a list of McCain's policies and achievements and tell them they're Obama's and they'd believe you because they know no more about him than the color of his skin and his "Change" brainwashing mantra.
Anyway, I'm done here.

Remember in 1984 when Joe Biden was the first presidential cadidate to appear on SNL? It's practically full circle, isn't it?

56. Oh, people. - November 2, 2008 10:59 PM
McCain is much funnier than Palin was. I don't like his voting record, but he's okay.
Oh, and NO ONE has kids to get more money from the government. The cost of raising a child is much greater than tax cuts or welfare. The "Welfare Queen" driving a Cadillac and eating bonbons is a complete fabrication. Do a little research on the TANF program before you bitch that people are being fed from your tax money.
57. Eponymous - November 3, 2008 2:32 AM
Anyone who votes for McCain is insane.
I'm not a liberal.
I'm white, and young, and intelligent.
And I'm voting for Obama.
If there were more like me, this country wouldn't be in the hole we're in, dug by Republicans for the past 8 years.
How can you want 4 more years?
58. The Truth - November 3, 2008 3:04 AM
He and Barama are part of the single party running for President. That's right, there is only one choice regardless who you decide to pick based on what the media has spoon fed you. What you are going to get is merely a variation on a theme, not the change America really needs. We need an actual hard-hitting change, not a modification of what's already there. Every election, this ruling party blows hundreds of millions, that could be used to help thousands of Americans, so they can do basically nothing to improve our country or our place the world, yet we stick with them over an over.
Bob Barr actually represents change. Check it out.
59. Stanky - November 3, 2008 7:18 AM
I'm voting for McCain because I'm white. It's not racist, just ask the 90% of black people who are voting Obama.
I also can't bbring myself to vote for someone who is the race that fucked monkeys resulting in the AIDS virus and then believes that white America invented the virus to exterminate blacks.
60. Shit - November 3, 2008 9:09 AM
Obama want to return taxes to where they were during the Clinton years. You know, when your country wasn't in the shitter.
61. Tired - November 3, 2008 10:21 AM
Webmaster .... have I mentioned that you're a fuckin' idiot, lately? Well, you are!!
62. Tired - November 3, 2008 10:25 AM
Webmaster .... have I mentioned that you're a fuckin' idiot, lately? Well, you are!!
#60....you do realize that it's SPENDING that got the deficit where it is and not income. Fact: revenue increased during both major tax breaks (Reagan's and Bush's).
#59....ignorance is bliss, you blissful idiot
#57....try some independent research. Your basic facts are incorrect.
#38....you need help
#1-16....get a life!
63. Where's Darkwing Duck? - November 3, 2008 11:22 AM
@56
You should visit a black neighborhood, go to the grocery store there. Really? There a alot of welfare & food stamp recipients who drive expensive cars, have hi-tech home entertainment systems and live in shitty apartments. It's called Ghetto-rich. Seriously, go to a poor, black neighborhood (Sorry, I guess it's redundant to say poor, black)
64. Johnny M - November 3, 2008 1:48 PM
Tina just groped the elder's ass right in the beginning! That's like necrophilia!!!! DAMN, girl! :ppppp Even I have to say that McCain looked good on this one. But like that great poet Jojo would say, "it's to little too late!" LOL He had a good run though. It's a nice story to tell his grandchildren. Of course they're probably in their twenties, but maybe they're still into it.
65. teebeela - November 3, 2008 3:34 PM
I've gotta say, that was pretty funny
66. Maggie - November 3, 2008 4:20 PM
Obama want to return taxes to where they were during the Clinton years. You know, when your country wasn't in the shitter.
Wow, seriously? Bill Clinton was too busy having sex with anything that moved to do anything good for our country. His lax views on security and foreign affairs are what caused 9/11 and the resulting war. But of course Bush gets the blame for it despite his being left to clean up the giant mess that Clinton left.
And I second #60, why would people want to go out and spend their money when half of it is being taken away by the government? Lowering taxes means people get to keep more of their paychecks and duh, they're going to spend it and help the economy! It's extremely basic here, people, try and get it through your heads.
And I thoroughly encourage you all to read about Fairtax, which if we could get it passed would mean absolutely no taxes taken out of your paycheck and an increased sales tax. So you get to take everything you earn home and it's only when you purchase something that you would pay tax. All of the drug dealers and under-the-board merchants who don't currently have to pay anything in taxes would have to pay the same as the rest of us, the same goes for the illegal immigrants who come up here and don't have to pay taxes since they're not working legitimately.
67. Narcissist - November 5, 2008 11:59 AM
McCain did some funny skits on there a few years ago. Classy speech when he conceded, too. I think his party advisors/controllers pushed him into some mistakes that he didn't like. They didn't crucify Palin for her disastrous impact, either.
if this thing will work...
