okay, since its silly season in politics, I just had to share this one.. did anyone see Letterman's piece on "mccain reminds me of..."
huffington post
Last night David Letterman ripped into septugenarian presidential candidate John McCain. Letterman made a couple quips that could definitely offend the ARRP community. He framed McCain as the stodgy old man that looks "like the old guy at the barber shop," "a Wal-mart greeter," "the guy who is always early for the 'Early Bird Special'," and "the guy at the supermarket who is confused by the automatic doors."

Letterman's been on a roll lately in my opinion. I caught this last night and it really cheered me up. I'd been watching CSPAN's election coverage and was disturbed by someone who called in insisting that Obama was Muslim and would be sworn in on a Koran, should he win the presidency. When the CSPAN host calmly explained that Obama IS NOT MUSLIM, the caller ignorantly kept saying, "Well, that's what I heard, and it was on the television." I was so traumatized, I flipped over to Letterman and caught him hilariously riffing on John McCain's out-of-touch, creepy, old ass and I was able to sleep without nightmares...check out the video to your right for more.
