Synchronized Presidential Debates
Politics Buzz You could probably do this to just about any politician who’s used to repeating the same talking points, but it’s still pretty incredible to watch. Some impressive (and painstaking) video editing that peaks with a chorus of McCains saying, “My friends”.

Not McCain’s Friend
Politics Buzz McCain’s incessant use of the phrase “my friends”, has a growing number of people announcing that they are in fact Not McCain’s Friend. It’s a hot political topic across the Twitter universe right now, and the Washington Post is calling it “McCain’s tic”. All in all, he said it 22 freaking times in last night’s debate, which also just so happens to be the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Playing to the Jews, are we McCain? Conspiracy Alert!

McCain Steals Music
Politics Buzz Nancy and Ann Wilson, John Cougar/Cougar-Mellencamp/Mellencamp, Van Halen and Jackson Brown ask McCain to stop using their music. Seems the Republicans can’t even steal their way out of their white stodginess. I say all for the better. If I see one more Democrat dancing to Fleetwood Mac I’m gonna slit my wrists with a cracked Rumors LP.

Chris Matthews Smackdown Part Deux
Politics Buzz Chris Matthews takes on Clintons for Mccain founder Cristi Adkins at the Democratic National Convention. This woman makes a claim about Obama’s past, but when Matthews asks her to cite her sources, she simply replies “I’m not telling.” I’m sure if Matthews promised to take her out for ice cream after, she might have budged.
