With only days to go until election day, John McCain did what he could to get the SNL bump. While Barack Obama
paid millions to appear on major networks during primetime last Wednesday, John McCain and Tina Fey, as Sarah Palin of course,
opened Saturday Night Live by hosting a QVC sketch. The original maverick pitched pork knives (to cut the pork) and (blank) commemorative plates to help customers remember the 10 joint town-hall debates Barack Obama did not attend.

Tonight's season premiere of Saturday Night Live may have a few surprise political guests to join human-fish-turned-host Michael Phelps. Barack Obama had been
going over sketches for his probable cameo, but due to Hurricane Ike he's
canceled his appearance on SNL. Guess we won't be able to tell once and for all whether Barack Obama is a hoot, or
truly un-funny.
I decided to open up the Saturday Night Live politics-vault, and ended up finding a gem! In 2002, with the 2000 primaries far behind him and no need to worry about image control, John McCain decided to show television viewers that he can play the "creepy husband" character pretty darn well. Check out the clip, which I can guarantee will either make you laugh out loud or cringe silently.
