McCain On SNL

Mummy-arms went on Saturday Night Live to show everyone he's really not a bitter, scary old man after all. The QVC bit with Tina Fey as Sarah Palin is decent. Dropping Cindy McCain in was a nice touch but don't watch it before you go to sleep or you will have nightmares of a blank-eyed witch trying to strangle you.



McCain on Weekend Update. Pretty weak. Sorry John but you lost us. We used to sort of like you but now we think you're evil. Do us a favor and go away forever. (I was going to suggest you take up golf but you have to be able to move your arms for that. Sorry.)

Which is Worse?

Five years in a gook prison camp or 10 minutes with Rachael Ray?

Odd One

Am I the only one who gets a weird vibe off Cindy McCain? Yeah, Laura Bush has that kind of Stepford thing going too, but Cindy is...I don't know. It's like she ripped out her soul at some point, and stashed it away in a closet with her wedding dress and a shoebox full of pictures from when she was still a living breathing human. The stories about her are disconcerting as well. All the family members she doesn't want to acknowledge. Half-sisters she doesn't speak to. It's like she's created this little universe for herself and when something comes along that calls it into question she just wills that thing out of existence. I'm not sure exactly what she adds to her husband's run. Maybe people on that side of the aisle just like the idea of a candidate with a good-looking wife who stands there not talking. They imagine her baking John cookies and ironing his shirts like June Cleaver. Will she end up feeding John lines the way Nancy Reagan did for Ronnie after his mind started slipping? She's a creepy chick.
