Crappy British Exports



The strange creature pictured above - which I at first took to be a golden lion tamarin monkey suffering from a bad case of the piles - turns out to be a British "comedian" by the name of Russell Brand, who hosted the MTV Music Awards and took advantage of the occasion to encourage Americans to vote for Obama; he also made a few locker-room cracks about Republicans. Personally, I believe that a DVD of his performance should be sent to the homes of voters in all of the swing states. It should be more than enough to put McCain over the top.

How far we have come since the early 1940's, when a real comic like Bob Hope could take a whack at the Democrats in a genuinely funny, but civilized way:

Rebecca, that may be the only place people DON'T run away screaming.

I saw some of his "performance." Really not funny. Then again, I am so far from their target audience...
