Belated political silliness.

Something I wrote earlier this year that vaguely relates to this little Historical Event Of Epic Proportions. Enjoy.


SARAH PALIN ACTUALLY FAMED COMEDIAN IN DISGUISE
McCain Campaign An Elaborate Practical Joke

Vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin revealed herself Wednesday to be in fact Michael Palin, member of the renowned comedy troupe Monty Python, in drag. The comedian was exposed at a press conference after answering an AP reporter in a British accent.
“Never could get that Alaskan bit down,” the legendary comedian commented, “But really- it took you this long to figure out? Geez.” Palin will return to England Tuesday, and only responded to messages by asking “None of you ever watched ‘Flying Circus’? Mrs. Doubtfire, Tootsie, anything?”
Evidently Palin’s nomination was part of a very elaborate episode of Punk’d; shortly after Palin revealed himself, Ashtun Kutcher fell from inside the podium,
“[Laughing} hysterically. The guy couldn’t breathe,” commented one CNN reporter.
In addition, John McCain is really just a lifelike* robot controlled by a handful of MTV interns. Yes, John McCain is, in fact, a robot. This insight was greeted with general apathy by the press at the scene.
“I suspected it for a few months now,” on reporter reported to this reporter. “Tell you the truth, I’d still vote for him.” Apparently this was a Fox News reporter.
All the same, the consensus at the scene was more alarm at the Sarah Palin scandal. If this was because most people believed Michael Palin was dead or because Sarah Palin was not a woman (and therefore provided some new insights into the preferences of many male reporters at the scene), is still unclear. Robo-McCain and Michael Palin will still run for office and will be on the ballot come November, their campaign manager said.
“This will be a huge step in the direction of equal rights for robots,” he stated. This caused Ashton Kutcher to fall into another violent fit of laughter, and the celebrity had to be taken away in a stretcher.

So, uh…Robot-British Guy ‘08?
Forget it. Vote Nader.
