Ha I get in first. Brace for Pythoning.

‘She’s a nice looking Parrot’- Is she an ex parrot? She is pushing up election daisies.

This is Pres George Bush, and Pres George Bush.
I’m John McCain
Not George Bush? That’ll cause confusion.

Is this the five minute ramble, or the full half hour

I’m a governor and I’m ok.
I shoot all night and I babble all day
It would be better if you were able
To vote for Tina Fey

And now for something completely different. Honest. We are different.

Wasilla!
Wasilla!
Wasilla!
She’s only a model.
Shhhh

Some bint with lipstick is not the basis for a system of government

She turned me into a Republican. I got better

You are hereby charged that you did wilfully, unlawfully, and with malice aforethought publish an alleged Republican-English phrasebook with intent to cause a breach of the peace…I quote an example…the English phrase “I believe in using diplomacy first” is translated by the Republican phrase, “I want terrorists to fondle my bum.”

Another Republican just went past the window…downwards!
Hmmm?
Two Republicans…uh, three Republicans have just fallen past that window!
Must be a black man running for president!

Caption: Government Film No. 42: How Not to Be Seen
(picture of forest)
Announcer: In this picture, there are 47 contenders for Republican Vice President; none of them can be seen. In this film, we hope to show you the value of not being seen. Here is Mr. Bagthorpe of Wasilla, Alaska. He cannot be seen. Now I am going to ask him to stand up. Mr. Bagthorpe, will you stand up please?
[Moose stands up, gets shot, and dies]
Announcer: This demonstrates the value of not being seen.

Sarah Fintim-Limbim-Whimbim-Lim Bus Stop-F’Tang-F’Tang-Olé-Biscuit-Barrel Palin (Silly Party)

McCain: Why’d you say “RUSSIA”?
Palin: I panicked.

What Obama blatantly fails to appreciate is that it’s the meek who are the problem

Unfortunately I don’t have enough US social history to reveal “What the liberals did for us”

I’ll have to work on that one…I was trying to pull something out of Life of Brian, but it’s already political enough to where it seems to me to be harder to pull jokes out of it, not easier.

Anyway, I barely had to adjust this one vox pop at all…

Well I’ve been in the senate for thirty years and I’ve never once regretted being a nasty, greedy, cold hearted, avaricious, money-grubber …uh, Conservative!

Voice Over: Yes, mothers, the new improved Republican Presidential candidate, containing 10% more or less is absolutely indistinguishable from a dead crab. Remember, vote Republican and go to HEAVEN!
Cut to a group middle-aged lower-middle-class women being interviewed.
First Woman: I can’t tell the difference between John McCain and this dead crab.
Interviewer: Yes, you know, we find that nine out of ten American housewives can’t tell the difference between John McCain and a dead crab.

One thing, LH…John McCain may have once been a member of the Slightly Silly Party, or even the Sensible Party, but he, his running mate, and the entire GOP have long since joined the Very Silly Party.
