It's a stupid expression that reaches sublime levels of stupidity when Gov Palin uses it to describe herself. http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/blog/g/0c03...7d-f2f9a7f56b68

I particularly enjoyed the crowd shot of the crestfallen guy in the Yankees hat and the shirt reading "BEAT BOSTON."

I did not know about this.

Fuckin A. Finally someone here who remembers him. PM on the way.

How in Jesus hell do Anaheim of Los Angeles fans even see the game with all those damned 'thundersticks' everywhere?

Fucking uber-timely!

YOUNT!

Doesn't this bailout change Obama/Biden's whole "no tax increases for anyone making under $250,000 a year" bit?

Huh, I thought it was 'anyone can be killed.'

I'll bet it's I Kissed a Girl...so let's see...hmm...I Brissed a Mohel?

Yes - that was a stellar episode. And when John Amos answered that door, I was just floored - what a great show.

Not bad. I think playing up Obama as the straight man is the way to go, though. I think why the existing skits with him haven't been any good (and why Armisen's impression is dull) - is they're putting him in obvious situations like debates. Put him back in high school or something. "Look, I will uhh - do, my homework. There's no question of that. But mom, it's Soul Train. Soul. Train."

Does that say "Pull My Finger"?

Indeed - there's a huge difference between piling on (which has occurred here in the past and will again I'm sure) and actually criticizing with substance.

Well, it is a comedy.

Anything Phil Hartman touched turned to gold. I loved his Stockdale impression - when Carvey's Perot is driving his out to the wilderness to set him free.

How about Obama ordering at a fast-food counter. Shot of OBAMA from cashier's view. OBAMA (looking up and to the left): Look, I will have...(pointing) the fish, uhh, fingers. And (looking up and to the right, scanning menu fruitlessly) uhh, that is, what I'll have. CASHIER: Anything to drink? OBAMA: (pointing to CASHIER) Look, no. I envision this a 40 minute sketch.

I had a dream about this re-release last night. I was listening to the LP in a mansion with my friend Robert (RIP). It was cool. I hadn't dreamed of him in a while. So thanks for this thread.

As long as this thread's resurrected: Is it bad I kept picturing Keenan Thompson as Gwen Ifill last night?

True - ABC did some of that following the debate, and it was embarrassing for everyone.

Are you dyslexic or just lying?

Directly following the debate, Pat Buchanan (on Fox News) said Palin wiped the floor with Biden and that she is "the most attractive" of all four candidates. Eww.

So What'Cha Want from this thread? Really.

Has anyone caught the Warner Brothers story that's been airing on PBS? One critic (I forget who) called 'What's Opera Doc?" the greatest accomplishment in Warner Brothers history, and I think I agree - sure, it's a short, but hell - nothing in animation rivals it. (I still like that TS2 is #1 on this list though)
