Jason Sudeikis as Joe Biden on SNL Palin vs Biden October 4 "debate"
The latest skit on Palin’s debate with Democratic rival Sen. Joe Biden poked fun at the Alaska governor for dodging specifics by repeating the Republican ticket’s “maverick” theme.
“We’re gonna ask ourselves what would a maverick do in this situation, and then ya’ know, we’ll do that,” Fey-as-Palin responded when pressed on how to deal with the financial crisis.
SNL’s Palin dismissed climate change as “this climate change, hoozie-what’s-it” and said she wanted to talk about taxes instead: “We are not afraid to get mavericky in there.”
The sharpest barb came when she was asked about benefits for same-sex couples: “I believe marriage is meant to be a sacred institution between two unwilling teenagers,” Palin replied, in a clear reference to her pregnant, teen-aged daughter who is due to marry the child’s father.
The SNL skit also ridiculed Biden, picking on his friendship with Republican candidate John McCain.
“Look, I love John McCain. He is one of my dearest friends. But at the same time, he’s also dangerously unbalanced … He’s bad at his job, and mentally unstable. As my mother would say, God love him, but he’s a raging maniac — and a dear, dear friend.”
Biden, played by Jason Sudeikis, said at the end that his goal was to not be seen like a “condescending, egomaniacal bully. And I’m gonna’ be honest. I think I nailed it.”

Cindy McCain did not confront with the two hosts on the show that day, but apparently, she did splash fierce disagreements against them one day after her appearance on The View, ABC's senior national correspondent Jake Tapper reported:
In a video recording of Cindy McCain at a Michigan fundraiser obtained by ABC News' deputy political director Karen Travers, the aspiring first lady says the American people's views and beliefs are not represented in newspapers and on TV shows such as "The View."
Mrs. McCain was speaking at the 119th annual Oakland County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner, Saturday night, one day after she and her husband, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., had a confrontation-filled visit to "The View," where co-host Joy Behar told McCain that two of his TV ads "are untrue, they're lies," and "View" founder and ABC News superstar Barbara Walters asked Cindy how many houses she and her husband own.
"In spite of what you see ... in the newspapers, and on shows like 'The View' -- I don't know if any of you saw 'The View' yesterday, they picked our bones clean -- in spite of what you see, that's not what the American people are saying and what they are believing," says Mrs. McCain, per ABC News' Arnab Datta. "They are now seeing a clear difference with these candidates, and they are seeing who is going to make the best president, and that's why we're pulling ahead."

Yes, I am so sorry about what happened yesterday and the lame attempt at humor. I feel all over myself, making it appear that I wished Barack Obama harm or any other candidate, for that matter, and I sincerely regret it and apologize to anybody I have offended. It is a very colorful political season, and many of us are making mistakes and saying things we wish we had not said.

Chris Matthews Kevin James MSNBC Hardball on Neville Chamberlain Video
Chris Matthews Kevin James MSNBC Hardball on Neville Chamberlain Video! Chris Matthews, of MSNBC's "Hardball," asked Kevin James, KRLA/870 AM talk host and right-wing political commentator, on his May 15 TV program for comments on President George Bush's speech to the Israeli Knesset where Sen. Barack Obama was unnamedly accused of a policy of appeasement toward terrorists. Bush's speech inevitably evoked the memory of Neville Chamberlain, the former British prime minister whose attempted appeasement of Adolf Hitler made him one of the more thoroughly discredited figures of the 20th Century. To one point, Chris Matthews (repeatedly) asked Kevin James what Neville Chamberlain did, James couldn't answer it but still he yelled and squirmed at Matthews. Hillarious! Source: Freep.com

Angela Merkel Not to Attend Beijing Olympics
The German chancellor, Angela Merkel decided not to attend the 29th Summer Olympics in Beijing. She is the first world leader to boycott the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics on August 8. I think, in a post cold war era, Angela Merkel has set a very dangerous step to politicalize the world's most sport event.
