Damn you and your elitist youtubes!
Shearer= One of America’s greatest voices, (literally, just listen to the timbre and tone of it).
This would have saved me a savage hangover.
So that must be the sound of silence.
I’m switching my vote to McGrommits.
Nothing against the negro. But McCain’s tea drinking style, with a pinky firmly touching the cup, just inspires the sort of confidence I look for in a leader.
Wait–what just happened?
Barry just looks so smiley and sexy when he’s silent. The man can do no wrong!
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!
Harry Shearer, still not funny, after all these years…
Well, Omaba’s side was a little empty, but McCain was simply vacuous.
walnuts just used air quotes again.
From Spinal Tap to Mr. Burns, Harry Shearer lives the good life.
[re=150652]blader[/re]: nothing sez “maverick” like drinking tea in the same style as all those bridge club ladies to be found in the original “manchurian candidate”
Very Space Ghost Coast to Coast. All it needed were the cut-aways to Zorak and that weird humming noise.
Walnuts just sitting there reading the sports page makes him seem almost human.

Brokaw picking lint off his leg is a great metaphor for Brokaw has linty legs.
Can we get Fox News Channel to convert to this format?
I want the last 4 minutes of my life back.
Obama was clearly more attentive to being silent. McCain looked like he was phoning it in with his paper reading and his tea/coffee drinking.
I must say, this was McCain’s best debate performance. He really spoke to me when he said nothing. And when he was silent, that really hit home. Obama never seemed to have a reply to anything McCain didn’t say.
My friend Russ Grazier died on the Forrestal on July 29th 1967. I learned that he was “Joe the Electrician” in the Navy from one of the memorial pages. His favorite expression when I knew him was “when in danger when in doubt, run in circles scream and shout.”
McCain’s favorite expression must have been “Daddy get me out of this mess.”
Wreck planes? He was just praaaaacticing.
You know – to get to Carnegie Hall.
John McCain thinking
Why did I listen to Schmidt
Should have picked Romney
When Walnuts! sat there silently, swallowing, you could see his under chin/neck area puff out like a frog. I feel sick…
Off the subject, but OMG! OBAMA STOLE CHRISTMAS!

I’d say on substance it was a tie. Maybe McCain won narrowly on points. Nobody scored a knock-out blow, really. Which is to say that there was no buzzer-beating, Ussain Bolt type run-up-the-score home runs. But I think in the end, a tie goes to the runner and clearly Obama is the faster runner here.
But, perhaps the most interesting part of the debate may have been when McCain read the sports page. That was clearly an attempt to appeal to the regular-Joe-six-plumbers of America. And I think it just might work. We’ll have to wait and see how that plays out in our focus group of undecided chubby white racists.
Strangely, 25 undecided Columbus voters who expressed the wish that the candidates would just shut the f*** up are still undecided.
If only Joe Biden could follow this example.
is it just me, or does Senator McCain have terrifying pitch-black shark eyes? I had not noticed this before.
Harry Shearer is no vampire – he looks older and older every year!
I call foul! Walnuts was farting the whole time.
Obama won hands down. The Luo tribesman are renowned for their ability to silently sneak up on prey.
Mike Gravel’s putdown of both these guys was perfect.
Snore. I couldn’t get through it. Is my attention deficient?
Bwahahaha
McCain’s neck looks almost exactly like my scrotum.
Which makes me think I need to Botox my scrotum.

As usual, a Harry Shearer bit is about 40% longer than it really needs to be.
That was pure art. Of course I just sat through the documentary on Zidane and liked it, so what the fuck do I know?
Poor Harry Shearer. He really looks old. Is he a chain-smoker or something?
[re=150773]tednugentslover[/re]: epic win
O brave new world, that has such people in it…
‘Nuff not said.
[re=150657]slackdaemon[/re]: Earlier this year on a business trip to Chicago, I caught Shearer’s “Le Show” for the first time, on WBEZ. I listened for a while because hey, Harry Shearer might be funny.
Nope. Holy crap it was uncomfortably unfunny. I went online when I got home to learn more about this radio abortion – apparently he’s been doing that crap for over 20 years? The entire show seems like a tribute to Shearer, by Shearer. Like he thinks he’s genius.
I don’t know what you’re talking about – this is comedy GOLD!
Granted, the fact that Shearer’s default voice is Whelan Smithers is somewhat disconcerting…
GOLD!
(cough)
