Humor

Before moving on to serious articles, I gotta share some great humor:

A) This 1-minute video is HILARIOUS!  McCain and Ms. South Carolina: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcdLO3jKkPo

This mashup explores the similarities between McCain's answer to an economics question at the Florida Republican Debate and Miss Teen South Carolina.

B) Here is a link to side by side comparisons of the SNL skit with Katie Couric and Sarah Palin and the original.  What is staggering is the degree to which Palin DOES NOT need to be rewritten to be parody: http://blogs.timesunion.com/capitol/archives/8839

 

C) Hilarious!

Here is John McCain's Republican running mate showing off her curves in a saucy red Baywatch-style swimsuit.

She was just 20 and known by maiden name Sarah Heath when she did her Pamela Anderson impression during the 1984 Miss Alaska contest.

One spectator at the show recalled: "Sarah had a figure to die for and when she came out in that swimsuit nobody could take their eyes off her.

"It's no wonder that John McCain picked her as his deputy. Who wouldn't want Sarah working alongside them looking like that?"
