Colbert: McCain Green Screen Challenge

Like many people, Stephen Colbert noticed that McCain’s speech Friday night was in front of a very green background. Looks like a “green screen” — something TV studios use when they want to digitally substitute a different background behind the speaker. … Are you thinking the same thing I’m thinking?  Colbert certainly did, and has […]

George Lucas: the Force is with Obama

While promoting the new Indiana Jones movie in Japan, George Lucas was asked who his heroes are. His response? “We have a hero in the making back in the United States today because we have a new candidate for president of the United States, Barack Obama. …For all of us that have dreams and hope, […]

Flag pin: just flop, no flip

One of the most wonderful things about the Internet is that any pinhead can be caught (on video often) being completely hypocritical. Take last night’s piece by Lou Dobbs where he called Obama a “flag pin flip-flopper” and then proudly proclaimed that he himself wears one. Of course, the Jed Report jumped on that, and […]

Clinton: Send me any message, as long as it supports me

Yesterday in her (inverted victory) speech, Hillary Clinton asked people to go to her website and send her messages so she could decide what to do next. Unfortunately, if you take her up on her offer you get this: In other words, the only message you can send to her is that you support her. […]

Lettuce be clear

Obama‘s problem is he doesn‘t seem like a guy who can go into an Applebee‘s salad bar and people think he fits in naturally there. He has to change to be more like that Applebee‘s guy and as he‘s done that he‘s become much more transactional. Much more, I‘m going to deliver this and this […]

Late Night Humor
