I saw M&M on SNL last night, he was lip-syncing also. Not very well, either.
But lipsyncing is all the rage. After all, Osama's latest tape has him lipsyncing Michael Moore. Walter Cronkite is lipsyncing George Soros. All together now, a-one and-a-two and a- "Strangers in the niiiiiiiight ........."
