A writer from The Onion is selling one on eBay.
No, seriously…
My name is John Harris, and I am a staff writer at The Onion, America’s Finest News Source. I am selling a joke that I can’t find a contextual home for. To be fair, it’s less of a joke and more of a dated, Capote-esque [...]

Transcript after the jump…

I can’t believe these guys pulled this off.

Here’s more…
The Masked Avengers, a radio pairing notorious for prank calls to celebrities and heads of state, notched its latest victory Saturday when it released a recording of a six-minute call with Palin, who thought she was talking with Nicolas Sarkozy. Throughout the call, which was making the [...]

Okay, not really, but you knew that the following was bound to happen…

I do believe that last bit about Ralph Nader.
He’s mean.
Really mean.

You have to watch this, if for no other reason to see the video they used for John McCain. His expressions are priceless.

So here’s the thing…after watching this I wonder how long it’ll be before we see some sort of video created that shows a candidate saying something they actually didn’t say. I mean, obviously [...]

You’ve probably already seen this, but if not…classic stuff.
By the way, the following is the entire episode from Thursday night.

Okay folks…who’s better? Will Ferrell’s Bush or Tina Fey’s Palin?

This one is priceless…

By the way, if you haven’t been over to Hulu.com, GO! There’s a ton of content and it’s all pretty much free. It’s a daily stop for me now.

The Alfred E. Smith Dinner in NYC is one of those things you look forward to hearing about every year because, for one night at least, politicians can just throw out some zingers and the only thing you’ll hear from their opponents are laughs.
McCain had some good ones…
McCain says he fired all of his campaign [...]

I wonder if she ever has…

The internets…what would we ever do without them?
