Well, since Rac_Rules asked for some fun… sure, I’ll be glad to oblige! 
It’s… THE SARAH PALIN AND THE REPULBICANS COMEDY HOUR!
(How come she gets top billing?)
Let’s watch Republicans come up with even lamer excuses for their party!
Corruption: Palin and Steven indicted. Palin by a committe with 2 1/2 times more Republicans on it than Democrats. But in Republican-land, she’s totally innocent. Stevens found guilty of seven felony counts of corruption and accepting bribes. But in Republican-land, their poor, corrupt hero is being persecuted!
Republicans openly trying to bring back the McCarthy witch trials (just in time for Halloween!) Like Republican congresswoman Bachmann going on national TV to call Obama anti-American, and ask for an investigation of all congressmen to see which ones are pro-American and anti-America (look up McCarthy, folks)… makes you wonder if her next statement will be to shut down Pixar Animation Studios and put them on the new Blacklist, because their films are obviously liberal and anti-American. Oooh, and there’s plenty of nice, juicy video of her. Or the Republican in Virginia saying the same thing at a McCain rally, then denied he said it. Except a tape surfaced of him saying it, so he had to apologize. But then he denied that he ever denied saying it – until another tape of him surfaced denying that he ever said it. You can’t write better stuff than this!
William Ayers! William Ayers! William Ayers! Someone who did things when Obama was eight years old, Obama has said the things Ayers did were terrible – and it was a prominent Republican (Annenburg) that appointed the two of them together to the same board. Doesn’t matter. “Obama’s a terrorist!” Then there’s McCain, who has still to this day refused to condemn convicted felon and terrorist G. Gordon Liddy. Besides serving 4 1/2 years in prison for his felony in Watergate, he has acknowledged being prepared to “kill someone” during this Ellsburg break-in job “if necessary.” Plotting to kill figures such as journalist Jack Anderson --oh, and look up the words “firebomb” and “Brookings Institute.” All stuff during McCain’s adult life. But instead of distancing himself and calling his acts terrible, McCain has embraced this domestic terrorist openly. McCain appeared on Liddy’s ultra-right-wing talk show just last year, and accepted $5000 in campaign contributions from him. But Obama is a terrorist for being placed on a board (by a Republican) with someone who did terrible things when he was 8 years old, that Obama has said was terrible. Terrorist! Terrorist! Terrorist!
You can’t get much funnier than this.
Oh, but sure you can.
Not a day goes by now when McCain or Palin doesn’t accuse Obama of being a socialist. Um… what do you Bush using our money to bail out wall street is? To have the government own our banks?
But what about Joe the Plum… er, Joe the unlicensed, tax-dodging, not-really-a-plumber? Oh, besides the fact that he owes back taxes, he isn’t licensed to be a plumber, lied about his income and wanting to buy his company (he makes $40,000 a year and would benefit from Obama’s tax plan). I can’t stop laughing. I mean it’s fine for a campaign to find an “average American” and tout his values and hard work. But McCain’s is such a hard place now because the person he “found” is a tax-dogding liar, and to now find someone else actually worthy of using for an example would me he was wrong. That’s ok though. Don’t feel bad for Democrat-hating Joe (his real name is Sam). He has an agent now, and is shopping around a book (no kidding). And all his Kool-Aid drinking fans will be sure to make him rich in the coming months, I’m sure.
Republicans’ attempt at dirty tricks. Besides the terrible ones that aren’t funny (trying to purge voter rolles because “Stephen Hawkings of 1234 Main Street” and “Stephen A. Hawkings of 1234 Main Street” are obviously not the same person), I love their attempts at the petty little dirty tricks. Like this official-looking flyer cicrulating in Virginia, telling Republicans to vote on Nov 4th and Democrats to vote on November 5th:

But wait, there’s more! Call today, and we’ll also throw in a big ol’ helping of “Don’t look now, but I said the same thing too!”
Sarah Palin and John McCain just love to latch onto Obama’s “share the wealth” remark. It doesn’t matter to any Kool-Aid drinking Republican that McCain himself said the same thing back in 2000 when talking about why he (at the time) opposed Bush’s tax cuts for the rich. October 12, 2000. McCain: "We feel, obviously, that wealthy people can afford more. And I think middle-income Americans, working Americans … all of the taxes that working Americans pay, I think they – you would think that they also deserve significant relief, in my view. " Gee, sounds like Obama to me. Shh!
And darn it all, but then Palin had to go and say the same thing earlier this very year too!
“A few weeks before she was nominated for Vice-President, she told a visiting journalist—Philip Gourevitch, of this magazine [New Yorker] —that "we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

Darn! What are we going to do now? Guess we just keep winking and grimacing and hope people don’t notice we’ve been saying the same thing we’re now attacking Obama for.
You asked for fun? No offense Rac and Al… but you can’t get much funnier than this. Comedy writers this season have it so easy. This stuff practically writes itself. I mean for the first SNL Tina Fey parody, she didn’t even change one word of what Palin said! (except adding the “Pwew! Pwew!” at the end) – and the audience was rolling with laughter. With hypocracy, hilarious lame excuses, felonies, corrpution, ethics violations, “Obama’s this, but… so am I…”, a candidate’s brother cussing out a 911 operator, a Kool-Aid drinking McCain worker slashing her own face to claim a big pro-Obama black man did it (admitting to the police later it was all made up), Republican campaigns imploding (today one of McCain’s own top advisors called Palin a “Whack Job”), one prominent Republican after another (from Colin Powell to George Will to Buckley) castigating their party and candidates… well, who needs to watch sitcoms? You asked for funny… and to the rest of the non-Kool-Aid-drinking Republican world, it doesn’t get much funnier than this…
that’s pretty good
