Not that anybody in the Right 'sphere wrote the below, of course:
(Via Primetime Politics, via Instapundit.)
But it's still a good line of attack: it's never hard to sell the American voting public on the notion that Democrats are perennial ditherers, for much the same reason why it's never hard to sell the American voting public on the notion that Alaska gets cold in the wintertime. There are also probably the usual humorless Lefties out there right now preparing the usual humorless whines, all the while not quite understanding that this is one of those "funny because it's true" situations. And it'll get funnier once some of those whines start circulating; both because it'll reinforce yet another narrative (you can bet that 90% of those whines will be from Obama supporters: like calls to like), and because it'll help spread the first one nicely...
All in all, not bad message placement.

Anyone care to guess how long it's going to take for this to appear or not appear at everyone's favorite KKid's site?
Let's see if the KKids have a sense of humor when the shoe is on the other foot.

I caught the appearance by accident, so I got quite lucky to catch it. The message is clear: Obama and Hillary fight while McCain jokes it up with your Democratic base. This ought to stick a sharp spear in the DNC's side. Not that they'll notice, they're too busy rolling us up in the Congress.
How did McCain get all this free political advertising without the opposing view or equal time for Obama? That is the real coup.
Ol' Straight Talk's lookin' pretty good! This is why I love John McCain (apart from those times when I want to throw something at him)!
And, yes, Senator, we must protect the legacy of the
That was funny. It's going to piss off the left at how true it is. Although, they'll spend more time commenting about how they didn't find it funny and call McCain names like McLame and McSame.

Has George Bush ever done SNL? I don't remember if he did back in 2000 or not?
I loved the part about Edwards at the end.
the more you actually follow McCain the more you realize the guy is actually hilarious in off the cuff remarks. he does have a great sense of timing and you can tell he is much better at comedy than Clinton. he actually can laugh at HIMSELF which is something no liberal allows themself to do..

From SNL in years. I may have to start watching again.
Hats off to Senator McCain as well. While he reinforced the negatives of the democrats he did a fantastic job showing himself to be affable.
