OMG this is funny as hell! He almost convinced me to vote for him!

At the very least he convinced me to laugh my ass off! I swear to God, he's funny as hell! This is MUCH better that the Palin shit on SNL.

John McCain On Saturday Night Live With Tina Fey As Palin (VIDEO)

Predreus · 11-02-2008, 02:49 AM

Free "tall" cup of coffee from StarBucks on Nov. 4th when you tell them you voted, woot!

**Cristiano** · 11-02-2008, 02:59 AM

LOL he was actually funny, I was shocked - it reminded me of the John McCain I used to really like. LOL the Joe action figures were funny, and when he said the McCain Fine Gold collection, and they panned over and showed Cindy displaying the necklaces, I died.

Also, when Tina whispered "Listen up I'm going rogue right now!" and showed off the Palin 2012 tshirts, I actually laughed out loud. The whole thing was hilarious.

Ok, that was just about the perfect ending to this Bizarro World election season. Seeing John and Cindy McCain on SNL was surreal enough - having John McCain say "what's going on over there Sarah" was so surreal it was awesome.

Redhead · 11-02-2008, 03:03 AM

This is so funny I have to wonder if on some level he knows he won't win, so the maverick in him has decided to just have fun with it. They even make fun of the whole "Palin going rogue" thing!

I'm sill laughing my ass off over this!

**Cristiano** · 11-02-2008, 03:10 AM

Holy fuck the second clip is just as funny, I hadn't watched it yet. The "sad grandpa" thing killed me.

I have to give John McCain credit, that was some funny stuff. Sadly, he didn't show this human side of himself for the past few months, but I am glad I got to see it again, I have missed that side of him.

8 years ago he bet on Bush and shifted Right to appease the base.

He lost the bet.

He has to know that.

I am sure McCain is kicking himself for the right-shift and not staying mostly adversarial with Bush after the 2000 primary.

Because THAT McCain would have had a chance.

Phoenix Psaltery · 11-02-2008, 04:44 AM

Laughed. Out. Loud. For real and almost woke Sans up.

I have to say, I appreciate and admire the fact that he's willing to poke fun at himself.

If had given everyone more of this and less of the kitchen sink, I wonder where things would stand right now. Not that I'm not happy with where things stand right now.

**Vivianne Draper** · 11-02-2008, 06:50 AM

well he would have had to have chosen a sane running mate

Mukatsuku · 11-02-2008, 07:53 AM

SNL shows the difference in humour across cultures - I've never even raised a smile over anything they've had

it makes you wonder what you're missing

Malachi · 11-02-2008, 08:04 AM

I now have a new archetype for "wooden delivery". And to echo one random blogger:

Quote:

but it was hard for me to find McCain's jabs at Obama in this sketch very funny given the unprecedented amount of fear, racism and xenophobia the McCain-Palin ticket has created and perpetuated in the last few months.

If I thought SNL relevant I might even say it made a ill-humored mockery of various people and institutions.

And get off my damn lawn you whippersnappers!

Did you see his Albert Smith Memorial dinner speech? The man has a future in stand-up comedy - maybe in the Borscht belt?

He even had Hillary giggling.

**Eboni Khan** · 11-02-2008, 10:03 AM

SNL hasn't been relevant in about 10 years.

McCain was very funny, he has been funny on SNL every time he has appeared. I am convinced he knows he is going to lose and has given up like 2 weeks ago. I get like 5 or more emails a day from Bob Barr, I haven't received any asking for money from Palin in over a week.

jacqueline trudeau · 11-02-2008, 11:59 AM

Memo To Johnny-Mac:

It's a little late now, but you could have done better with Lorne Michaels as your campaign manager instead the Rove wannabe hacks you had. Ditto with Tina Fey for that embarrasment known as your running mate.

That is all. Enjoy your place in history as the man who lost his soul.

Chip Midnight · 11-02-2008, 01:00 PM

So where was this good natured, funny, self-effacing John McCain for the past two years? He's a likable guy with an impressive record of service. He could have leveraged that so much better than he has, and not stoked a culture war in the process. "Sad Grandpa" has no one to blame but himself for the fact he's about to get his ass handed to him. Ten years from now when I remember John McCain, it won't be the likable guy on SNL that I remember. It'll be the pathetic hateful campaign he ran as his swan song.

That John McCain could have won.

Consider that 59% of Americans don't think Governor Palin is qualified to be VP (sorry, forgot the poll source, might have been on fivethirtyeight somewhere).

Yet, about 45% of Americans still plan on voting for the McCain/Palin ticket. The math here isn't particularly difficult. The VP pick was simply the most egregious of the various pandering tactics designed to appeal to the extremist base (in both meanings of that word). So what if it "energized" them? Were they going to vote for the black fellow?

But leaving aside the idiocy of the tactic, the truly sad thing is that, for all his flaws, Senator McCain used to be a truly honourable man, one who was a hawk, but opposed torture, one who was deeply religious, but realized that the preachers of hate were anything but, one that wanted American corporations to succeed, but understood that the Bush tax cuts were ruinous in time of war.

It was good to see a glimmer of the old candidate. But I'm sorry, if he can't stand up to the GOP's unfortunate side on the campaign trail, how can we expect him to do so in office?

I admit to committing the "calling it before the horses trot across the line" error. For your part, to be avoid the same error, you might say "The election isn't over, and I hope that the polls are inaccurate" or "People may still change their minds, and two days is enough for the GOP to get its message out" or even "Perhaps enough who would have voted for the Obama/Biden ticket will stay home."

These are all possibilities, admittedly low percentile ones, but anything can happen. Nor am I being facetious when I say that. It's just one of many reasons that people should always make the trek down to the polls come election day.

But I still hold to my contention that a McCainCirca2004/SensibleVP ticket would be now leading in the polls.
