Three Things I love

There are three things I love about this video.

1. Colbert's six lapel pins. That'll show that hippie Jeff Tweedy to try to Out-American HIM!

By the way, if you think it was cool of Wilco to poke fun at one of the more pathetic non-scandal scandals of the election cycle, you are forgetting that Wilco gave away a song for free. That makes them commies. No wonder their favorite candidate is Obama.

2. They brought their Grammy to counter Colbert's Emmy, and just happened to leave it on the piano where everyone could see it. Real subtle. Nice try guys, but he's got a Peabody too. Got an answer for that one?

3. Curse you Nels Cline! The Obama buttons the whole band was wearing so liberally were small enough for the cameras not to catch them, but you just HAD to put that "HOPE" sticker right on your amp, RIGHT where the camera would catch it when you went to work the feedback. Clever, Cline. Very clever. You win this round.

......

Can we have Wilco back on Colbert please? They fit right in.

Hall of Shame

This was one crazy election. Just for fun, I'm going to preserve for posterity my favorite bits of election-inspired comedic madness.

Of course there's the classic Tina Fay - Palin skits. The thing about these is that Fay, of all people, was possibly the first to land a solid blow on the public image of the surprise VP pick.

Speaking of Palin, she inspired not one but TWO adorable devotee polkas. And the occational ballad. And whatever this is.

And some of this stuff. Wow there's a lot of them. Did everyone (someone really has a good tonal ear!) and their mom literally make a parody song about this lady?

There are more. I'm not going to find them though.

And her "I can see Russia from my house" comment, Russia can see her right back! Some UK guys sang the best song though.

And singing Hockey Moms.

Ya know what, I've been wrong about Sarah Palin. She's been a gift to world comedy.

Even though this one scared me.
