World-famous puppet "roommates" Bert and Ernie have a heated political discussion in which Obama emerges the victor, suggesting rumors of faltering gay support for Hillary Clinton are more than just rumors. [YouTube]
it's pat
Ha ha, it turns out that Hillary Clinton even lies with her lying about her harrowing overseas adventures. First she says she once ran screaming through the streets of Tuzla smeared with the blood of Bosnian snipers as she singlehandedly brought peace to Northern Ireland; then she says she was the first president's wife to visit a war zone since Eleanor Roosevelt. Wrong again, Pantsuit! That honor goes to Pat Nixon, who visited Vietnam with Sinbad way back in 1969.

When most people hear "Barack Obama's neighbor," they probably think of slumlord Tony Rezko, whose wife sold the Obamas a patch of dirt once. But it turns out that the Obamas' Chicago home sits across the street from a synagogue where the presidential candidate's Secret Service detail occasionally uses the head! Hear what the kindly rabbi neighbor has to say about Our Barry after the jump.

Take heart, sad Barry fans: even though your guy lost everything except Vermont last night, he will be President someday—after groundbreaking President Hillary Clinton expires of old age. This morning Senator Clinton hinted that she might add Barack Obama to the ticket if the people of Ohio allowed it.

Alaska Senator Ted Stevens is as ancient and snowy white as the craggy glaciers his people farm in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And despite the fact that he is 1,000 years old and knows nothing about the Internet and is under investigation for graft, he has boldly decided to run for re-election, again.

rumors on the airwaves
Senator Mitch McConnell is ruining the reputations of three University of Louisville physicians by providing video evidence that they said nice things about him, once. The victims of McConnell’s smear campaign were taped saying things like “I think Senator McConnell is very interested in the health and welfare of the people in the state of Kentucky.” And, for a few brief weeks in December and January, McConnell was showing this garbage on the teevee.

Whatever you may or may not think about The New York Times’ Deborah Solomon and her Q&A magazine column, she certainly tries to pin down her subject. In last weekend’s column, she cornered former Disney honcho Michael Eisner and briefly drilled him on politics. The result? Eisner comes off looking like an ass-kissing, dodgy asshat. Or, in other words: mission accomplished! The exchange, after the jump.

Et Tu, SNL?
SNL’s Fred Armisen impersonates lots of people. He’s delivered on the left-handed fey rock set: Liberace, Phil Spector, Lou Reed and Prince. Nailed the evil, weird quad of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Vicente Fox, Hugo Chávez and Steve Jobs. He’s good, right? Now, he’s added “political comedian” Nicholas Fehn, a shaggy, stammering hipster and ADD victim: “I do the type of comedy…Basically what I do is I take headlines … I take newspapers. I read them. And I comment on them. It’s my own skewed view on things.” Imagine our massive meta moment.

Remember the good old days for embattled Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn), when the fifty-term politician with the big heart from the little state bragged that he had his own special flavor of Walter Mondale’s mesmerizing “Norwegian Charisma,” something called “Joementum” that would help win the 2004 Democratic presidential nod and eventually become God-Emperor of Dune?

The last we saw of the google-eyed incumbent Republican senator from Jeffrey Dahmer’s home adopted home state of Ohio, he was giving the bum’s rush to a libidinous junior office worker by the name of…wait, don’t tell us, it’s right on the tip of our tongue, you know the one who wrote the novel and posed for Playboy and is now running a dude ranch in California with the Fonz and Lenny and Squiggy and Josie and the Pussycats.

Here’s a shamless plug (the very best kind): I’ll be debating National Review’s Jonah Goldberg tonight at D.C.’s Heritage Foundation tonight, on the very, very, very pressing issue of whether libertarians and conservatives can, like Rodney King and the LAPD, get along in the post-Cold War era the World War 3 era. The boozing begins at 6:30PM, the debate at 7PM, and the Brokeback Mountain-style hijinks will be going on all day (this is the Heritage Foundation, after all).
