“So who’s the most attractive President we’ve ever had? Barack Obama, I think, right?”

“No. Teddy Roosevelt. Young Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy Roosevelt’s giant stone face on Mount Rushmore.”

“Yeah, the party was cool until Olga stepped in the seven-layer dip.”

“Maybe I should try Internet dating. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life moaning at magazines.”

“Oh my God, oh my God! Pull over!”

“What? What?”

“We found Mark Hamill’s guest appearance on The Muppet Show!”

“Christ. It’s 9 a.m. and I’m too drunk to feed the cows.”

“Your elbows make me red-hot. They’re your best feature.”

“Wow. I just found George Washington’s heir.”

“So that would make him King of America, right?”

“Yup. Felix Craig from Nitro, West Virginia. He drives a Winnebago and watches ‘Days of Our Lives’.”

“Oh, f***! The windows are fogged up! Tiny people are fogging up the windows of my car with their intercourse.” Read More »

Last night, in Nashville, Tennessee, the candidates in what could be one of the most important presidential elections ever clashed for the second time. And there was passion, there were bold, firm statements of position, there were explosive accusations, and at one point McCain and Obama got into a light-saber fight.

Man. I wish. Actually, the second presidential debate was pretty boring, especially compared to the mud-fight we got when Palin and Biden duked it out. So what happened last night? The candidates mostly stuck to the same guns they’ve been waving all election: McCain pounding home his foreign policy experience (and his opponent’s lack thereof) and Obama preferring to stick to what many see as a more “in-touch” attitude on domestic concerns. Lots of stump speech sound bites were recycled, and, as usual, there wasn’t that much actual debate.

McCain started the night in a rougher place than before, as the flailing economy and sliding poll numbers gave the Republican senator plenty of ground to catch up on.

It wasn’t a problem for him overall, though; he managed to fight Obama to a standstill on most issues, (including the economy, and it’s hard going being a Republican on the economy today), and nobody blew themselves out of the water with embarrassing gaffes. Nothing last night is going to change the dynamic of the race, though, and that’s not terribly good news for McCain.
