From: RobertS_____@comcast.net

I hope after listening to my short video you will have leaned something interesting and new. Interesting and new enough to let others know about it. My video is narrated by Mr. W. McSpeedy, a character I created for the sole purpose of what the video is all about. You can find the video on YouTube. Just click on Sen. Zero. Sen. Zero holds the opposite political position of that Mr. W. McSpeedy stands for. After you listen to what Mr. W. McSpeedy says on an important political subject you can decide who you want to be America?s first so-called ?political? Super Hero for America?s workers, Mr. W. McSpeedy or Sen. Zero. Just like in the original story, there can only be one winner. However, the wrong winner could make all the difference for America and for America?s workers. Hopefully, after viewing the video you make the one Mr. W. McSpeedy is offering to America and its working people.

Thanking you in advance for viewing my informative YouTube video.

Sincerely,
Robert S______

P.S. If, after viewing said video you like Mr. W. McSpeedy?s (my solution) political approach over Sen. Zero?s (Sen. Barack Obama ) solution, can you let me know. Also, would it be too much to ask for your financial support in helping me get my the video solution out much better, plus another solution I havethat could help the American economy in an unusual never done before way. If so, you can send your financial help in C/o Mr. W. McSpeedy, P.O Box 24, Marlton, New Jersey 08053.

    McSpeedy? Huh? Isn’t that what Cindy calls him?

    Marlton, NJ once hosted the New Jersey State Institution for the Criminally Insane. In a recent budget squeeze it was closed. None of the inmates were advised of that fact.

    Wow, McCain’s video ad staff is undergoing some staff changes…

  4. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 2:50 pm, August 1st, 2008

    I COULD search for it… but i have a feeling someone else will and then a link will be provided without my added effort, which is better for me.

  5. BadNewsJack says at 2:52 pm, August 1st, 2008

    My brain hurts

  6. shortsshortsshorts says at 2:52 pm, August 1st, 2008

    WALNUTS new winning campaign strategy.

    Fucking genius.
    At least he can turn on a computer now and type in funny thingys!

  7. Lazy Media says at 2:55 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Way to be a corporate shill, Layne. That’s just some viral spam for a Reebok kids’ shoe.

  8. freakishlystrong says at 2:57 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Normally I love the “email of the day” posts, normally…

  9. obfuscator says at 2:58 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Senator Zero is Barack Obama??

    Thanks for not including A SPOILER ALERT!!!, guys.

    Um, I’ve only seen like 5 seconds of this and it’s already more fabulous than I could have dreamed.

    Here’s the Sen. Zero video!!

  12. Monsieur Grumpe says at 3:06 pm, August 1st, 2008

    No Link? I’m so disappointed. Then again, no.

  13. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:09 pm, August 1st, 2008

    …is mailing feces to another person against any federal laws?

  14. V572625694 says at 3:11 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle: It’s awesome. And I don’t appreciate my serious works being lampooned on this not-quite-serious “blog” thing.

  15. Clittle says at 3:14 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Here’s the guy’s only other video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksCelR-NDkk

    I don’t mean ONLY like there’s no substance or anything, because he’s great. Just. Great.

  16. anabellum says at 3:16 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle: wow…thanks for the link….i had no idea McCains house was so nice…

  17. PrairiePossum says at 3:16 pm, August 1st, 2008

    The Chamber of Commerce group must have sent this after they ran up that $8,000.00 bar tab.

  18. Looks like Rielle Jaya James Druck is looking to get back to work making webisodes for important politicians. After all, she has a (John Edward’s) child to feed.

  19. Clittle: O my god, that is more awesome than all the other youtubes combined!

  20. Advocatus_Diaboli says at 3:19 pm, August 1st, 2008

    No buttsecks. This sux.

  21. johnbpt says at 3:19 pm, August 1st, 2008

    I say America is long overdue for its first retarded superhero.

  22. wander_lust says at 3:19 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle: omg… that is the most disturbing… amazing… wait, i think I might have gone to high school with McTurtle…

  23. obfuscator says at 3:20 pm, August 1st, 2008

    This guy is obviously David Newell, having cleverly conflated his nickname and his surname so as to confound us.

  24. Dr. Spaceman says at 3:27 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle: It gets amazing at 2:11.

    This guy thinks mutual funds have a guaranteed return. And he’s dressed like the Sleestack Micheal Lesko.

  25. DetroitDeeva says at 3:29 pm, August 1st, 2008

    That is just ridiculous

  26. nietzscheprojectile says at 3:36 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Actually, that room looks like the one Harrison Ford used as a crash pad in the Fugitive. Where’s the one-armed man when you need him?

  27. Doglessliberal says at 3:38 pm, August 1st, 2008

    My god, I don’t know what I would do if Wonkette went away. Seriously, I get more exercise for my core trying to stifle laughter while sitting at work than you’d get with a kick ass personal trainer. I heart Wonkette, and I heart Wonkette commenters, too.

  28. FindFuckandFlee says at 3:42 pm, August 1st, 2008

    I’ve got this, Schindler’s List, and some 9/11 truth videos going on three monitors in my bunker. I am so hard right now.

  29. Squiggyfm says at 3:44 pm, August 1st, 2008

    ITS RON PAUL BROADCASTING FROM HIS MOM’S BASEMENT!

  30. pdiddycornchips says at 3:45 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle:

    The wood panels, the bamboo blinds, was this video shot in my gammas basement? I think it’s cousin Fred. It sorta make sense. He once puked all over the kitchen table when I served him turtle soup.

  31. Squiggyfm says at 3:46 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Also, why is RON PAUL dressed like Darth Matthew Lesko and why does Obama look like Nixon?

  32. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:50 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle: OMG YAY YOU MADE MY DAY

  33. Monsieur Grumpe says at 4:08 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Clittle:
    The best part is where he turns around and says “climb on board.” He’s a bottom!

  34. 2goats says at 4:08 pm, August 1st, 2008

    I have those same pajamas, but not the head gear. The head gear really makes it. Is it sold separately?

  35. Doglessliberal says at 4:14 pm, August 1st, 2008

    2goats: It might be sold all together as a “starter kit”.

  36. nietzscheprojectile says at 4:23 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Squiggyfm: I actually saw Matthew Lesko walking down U Street last week. He was wearing that suit like it was no big deal.

  37. Clittle says at 4:47 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Monsieur Grumpe: Yeah, but shell rash is a bitch! Trust me.

  38. loquaciousmusic says at 4:51 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Why is Robert Smith from The Cure making political videos and posting them on YouTube?

  39. gurukalehuru says at 5:01 pm, August 1st, 2008

    You should have just said “Don’t Look” instead of “No Link.” It was, unfortunately, quite easy to find.
    Really, folks, don’t look. Schadenfreude is schadenfreude but this is downright embarassing. I felt bad for the poor pathetic man child in the turtle suit.
    But I hope he turns up for the Ron Paul “real” Republican Convention.”

  40. irisheyes says at 5:21 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Okay gang, I gotta call it a day after this one. If anybody needs me, I’ll be in my Mom’s basement drinking heavily and muttering to myself.

  41. FunkyPalmettoBug says at 5:23 pm, August 1st, 2008

    I can’t wait for that debate. Frog boy might actually win because Obama’s laughing too hard to actually debate.

  42. shortsshortsshorts says at 5:35 pm, August 1st, 2008

    loquaciousmusic: Dude. Robert Smith fucking rocks. Don’t go there. I WILL DESTROY YOU and take all your liquor.

  43. irisheyes says at 5:36 pm, August 1st, 2008

    wander_lust: Is it true that you might know this guy? I went to the local high school, but don’t recognize him at all. Thank god for the little things.

  44. Redhead says at 6:20 pm, August 1st, 2008

    So there’s a late night infomercial that comes on sometimes when I’m being an insomniac. It’s a crazy-looking old guy telling you how he knows the secret to getting rich (either the how-to-reclaim-money from the government scam or the how-to-cheat-on-your-taxes-and-not-get-caught plan, I forget which).

    This kid SO stole that suit from crazy infomercial guy.

  45. Redhead says at 6:24 pm, August 1st, 2008

    Dr. Spaceman: Okay, nevermind, didn’t know that was the name of the guy I was thinking of (the guy has a normal-ish name? how?). You win.

  46. as soon as he says, this is just a brief overview, i get scared, kind of like going over to one of those mormon’s houses and they think they can try to convert you because you’re in their lair. or do i mean amway salesmen, or both i think

  47. Does sen zero rip off his opponents head and spinal cord?
