Catching up

I had a busy Sunday yesterday, which didn't include watching the Superbowl (or even the Puppybowl, which has been my preference pretty much ever since the Bills lost four straight). There was just too much other stuff going on! But I do like to stay on top of all the hype and silliness, so it was nice this morning to find this quick summary of all that I'd missed.

Update: more here!

Quote of the Day

“This guy, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, I mean, he claims victory and he is very unpopular…And the danger politically of this, he could ruin the political career of his brother, Jeb Ahmadinejad. You got to be careful.”
— David Letterman, discussing the Iran election during a monologue

(via Pensito Review)

UPDATE: he's not far off.

Senator Drama Queen

Wow. It's been another busy and crazy day and now I'm two days behind in reading the Internet and I'm only just finishing up the prep for tonight's dinner (is someone going to accuse me of being elitist for my continental dinner time?) -- it's chicken soup, btw -- but I've had the news on while I've been cooking and I'm shaking my head in disbelief. First of all, how does a man go, in just a few days, from claiming that the economy is fundamentally sound to marching all over Washington, DC like Chicken Little, hitting new levels of scenery munching, derailing the negotiations Congress had gotten through before his arrival politicized the whole process -- swooping in, wearing his home-made cape and superhero pajamas -- pretending to be the man who's saving the day, when he couldn't even be bothered to read the 3-page document that is central to the process?

And did McCain really think David Letterman wouldn't notice the huge lie he fed him when he begged off appearing on Late Night by claiming he was rushing off to DC -- right before doing an interview with Katie Couric?

And what the heck is up with Sarah Palin? She's starting to make Miss Teen South Carolina look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Somebody better go fetch the dart gun. I think this campaign may have just nuked the fridge.

UPDATE: most of the links have been subsequently added.

Al Gore & Letterman

Here's the video from this past week: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 (it's almost 20 minutes long all together). Enjoy!

Harry! Harry!

Where do you go when the lights go out?!*

Harry Whittington has a blog! (via TGW)

And you knew it was coming -- the Cheney's Got a Gun video (also via TGW). UPDATE: Same song, different visuals (via UTCdems).

Letterman reacts (via C&L), and, of course, Jon Stewart nails it.

*name that tune!
