BRIAN WILLIAMS: Welcome to Drexel University, the site of tonight’s Democratic presidential debate. Let’s get started with Senator Barack Obama. Senator, you’ve vowed to spend this entire debate standing on Senator Clinton’s windpipe while reducing her to a quivering mass of jelly. How do you plan on doing that?
SENATOR BARACK OBAMA: Well, Brian, as you know the goal of my campaign is to make this country as noble as I am. But without casting aspersion or criticism in any direction, I have noticed that Senator Clinton, probably without meaning to, has not fully contextualized her discourse, which has had the effect of diffusing the national conversation we must have about the tremendous challenges we face.
WILLIAMS: Senator Clinton, I’m going to give you a few seconds to recover from that mauling.
SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON (quietly weeping): Thank you, Brian.
TIM RUSSERT: Senator Edwards, let’s turn to you...

CLINTON: To be clear, I said that licenses for illegals was a smart idea that I oppose. There are also many dumb ideas I support and mediocre ideas I’m lukewarm about. I keep track on my iPhone.
REP. DENNIS KUCINICH (arriving): Sorry I’m late everybody. My U.F.O. got held up in traffic behind Shirley MacLaine’s house.
WILLIAMS: Now we turn to our lightning round in which each of the candidates will have 3.75 seconds to spout pandering clichés that demonstrate how the campaigning process has reduced their minds to pabulum. Senator Clinton, which issue would you like to obfuscate next?
CLINTON: Obfuscate? Son, let me tell you the truth, because you can’t handle the truth. We live in a world with enemies. We fight elections where people play rough. Who’s going to do it? These two pretty boys? The left-wing nutjobs in our party who sit around watching Bill Maher?

Thanks for that, this is just hilarious!

It's impossible to parody a parody.
I recently cancelled my subscription to the NYT - this was not done lightly inasmuch as I had subscribed for 30+ years. If that rag had had the courage to publish the Brookses (or the Mark Steyns) of journalism just about half the time instead of Dowd, Krugman, etc. 99% and Brooks 1%, maybe their circulation (and ad revenues) would not be in the toilet. Brooks rocks.
Funny and true!

I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, leads to victory. Because deep down, in places you don’t talk about in Santa Monica dinner parties, you want me at that podium. You need me at that podium. And I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to the self-righteous liberals who rise and sleep under the blanket of the very victory I provide! I wish you’d just said thanks and went on your way. In any case, I don’t give a damn what answers you think you’re entitled to!
GOV. BILL RICHARDSON: That was beautiful, Hillary. I love you.
Agreed the Times is the worst for ramming the Johnatahn Alters et al of the world constantly down our throat.
But in the case of Maureen Dowdy, I consider the Times continuing to publish her as almost an act of Charity. After Douglas left her, it is probably the only think keeping her off the streets these days.
“I recently cancelled my subscription to the NYT - this was not done lightly inasmuch as I had subscribed for 30+ years.”
You have a bird that old?
Don’t sell the NYT’s short, it also makes good packing material and is good for cleaning fish on.
This is the kind of phunny stuff that gets me through a loooong weekend!
Thank you very much!!!
His parrot died unexpectedly.
“His parrot died unexpectedly.”
I am betting it was due to the Imperialist Running Dog King George and his love of the drug companies that killed this parrot. If the parrot lived in Cuba, it would have received the health care necessary to keep it alive like their dear leader Fidel Barrrrrrr Castro.
