McCain-Palin Show on QVC! - McCain on SNL
This is hysterical. The real John McCain and the real Cindy too! And of course Tina Fey as the spot on Sarah Palin.

"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence and fulfills the duty to express the results of his thought in clear form." - Albert Einstein
"A woman is like a tea bag- you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water." - Eleanor Roosevelt
I saw both the opening QVC segment and the Weekend Update segment--did you see both?
I thought McCain was appropriately self-mocking and funny. (Hmmm...as with Palin, he, too, could have a future in television....). Watching the body language at the end of the show, Ben Affleck shook McCain's hand amiably and whispered something into his ear.
Affleck was a hoot, with his opening self-mocking bit (noting how his first campaign was Carter '80, followed by Mondale, Dukakis, Tsongas '92, and, "of course", Gore. And so now he was pleased to announce his endorsement of McCain...) plus several quite good impersonations, including one of Olbermann. Am wondering about whether Olbermann will take this as a good sport. He got knocked around pretty hard for "over-the-topness" and pomposity. What did you think?

Ben Affleck was really funny too. It is hard to say how Olbermann will take it. Truthfully, he took the "big head" thing from Letterman pretty well. I also think he will try to distance himself from any O'Reilly like sensitivity. So even though some of the skit bordered on nasty, I think Keith will take it all in good fun.
