Will Ferrell brings back his George W. Bush impersonation.

Ducking sniper fire, dodging bullets and pulling out a sidearm. Senator Clinton really was heroic in Bosnia!

Eliot Spitzer

Tracy Morgan on Weekend Update

NBC Special Report: John McCain

Last nights Saturday Night Live was chock full of campaign coverage. First check out the shows version of the Obama vs. Clinton debate:

Next Senator Clinton gives a response:

Then long-winded but rather true recap of Barack Obama’s relationship with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson:

FINALLY a second surprise guest, Rudy Giuliani who came in to discuss his campaign.

For those that Twitter, USofA said:

“Torrenting the Democratic Debates S01 Ep20. I’m seeding forever.”

FUNNY.

For those who don’t get it, move along.

Hello all. I had to take a last minute trip to the nations capitol, sorry for the lack of updates but they should start up again later tonight or tomorrow.

I have noted a few times on this blog how MSNBC’s Chris Matthews has spent the last few months publically fawning over Barack Obama. The Daily Show seems to have noticed the same thing. You can see the individual take on Matthews here but if you have a minute and want to see the entire media mocked by Stewart check out the shows coverage of media coverage from New Hampshire which also includes the Matthews moment:

Meanwhile check out this clip of Matthews talking about how he teared up watching an Obama speech.

You can also see this clip of Matthews declaring an Obama win in Iowa will be equivalent to the fall of the Berlin wall and elections in South Africa and the “biggest news story to come out of America since Reagan beating Carter.”

Well it was a fun couple of weeks but Stephen Colbert has now officially dropped his bid for the White House. He was rejected for inclusion on the South Carolina Democratic ballot and with the cost of $34,000 to get on the Republican ballot, he decided it was time to head out.

Mr. Colbert, we hardly knew yea.

Last night Saturday Night Live produced two sketches taking on the Democratic field for president. Though at first glance the sketches the theme of the show seemed like a skewering of the party frontrunner with Hillary Clinton dressed as a bride being told repeatedly she made a wonderful witch and with an appearance by the real Senator Barack Obama questioning her authenticity. There was however, a lot more going on.

With an appeasing and VP slot hungry Bill Richardson played by the former castmember Horatio Sans, with Joe Biden & Chris Dodd showing up to a Clinton Halloween party with the same costume and remarking how either might have been more noticeable had the other not run, with a slick kiss-ass John Edwards and a straight-jacket covered Mike Gravel, SNL took on the entire field painting a pretty sorry picture of Democrats. The theme was carried on with a skit late in the night showing these candidates and a Wizard of Oz rendition of Dennis Kucinich (Amy Poehler does double-duty playing both Clinton & Kucinich) conspiring to take down Clinton with the intent of “worrying about” Barack Obama later. Their plans don’t go very far.
