SOUND CLIPS FOR WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 2008

PARIS HILTON

1. McCAIN IS OLD; MY ENERGY PLAN– HILTON (1:47)

Paris Hilton enters into to the political fray with an ad of her own, striking back against Senator John McCain. Very well done; very well done.

McCAIN AND THE HARLEYS

2. REV THOSE ENGINES EVRA-BUDDEH!– McCAIN (:15)

Senator John McCain energizes the crowd with a Howard Dean-esque performance. For more info and to see the video of John McCain, please see Dermott McCallscreener’s screed on the blog.

3. G-G-G-GAS PRICES AND CONGRESS– McCAIN (:25)

Senator John McCain, speaking at a Harley Davidson rally in South Dakota, is tired of gasoline prices and the fact that Congress does nothing about it. As I have stated many times before, SENATOR John McCain is part of that very same Congress he chastises! And, point of fact, he has barely, if ever, been back to the Senate to vote on anything.

4. RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!- McCAIN (:06)

Senator John McCain gets a little TOO excited about offshore drilling and calls to drill right here, right now…(Van Halen)…McCain must have forgot he was onstage in South Dakota. South Dakota is as far away from offshore drilling as you can get!

5. OBAMA’S PLAN IS TO INFLATE TIRES– McCAIN (:05)

Despite that nonsense clip, he has hit Senator Obama successfully on his energy plan, capitalizing on Obama’s mentioning of inflating your tires.

NEW MOVEON AD

6. McCAIN LET ME AND MY KIDS DOWN - AD (:29)

Latest MoveOn ad on McCain’s energy policy

MORNING JOE LOVES LIONEL SHOW

7. CRICKETS - GEIST (:29)

New evidence this morning that everyone listens to the Lionel Show evra-buddeh! Willie Geist, in discussing McCain and Obama’s cameo appearance on Last Comic Standing, uses a certain description to describe the lack of hilarity in McCain and Obama’s attempts at humor. Where did he get that phrase? Hmm…..
