I figured you already knew about this since its semi old news. They've been planning this for a while now and running promos for it for 3 weeks now. The only new thing was that they added McCain last minute as it was supposed to be just Obama and Clinton. They're also gonna have a "match" between Obama and Clinton............or so says the promos that they're pushing, but it'll just be two impersonators a la Donald Trump vs. Rosie O'Donnell a while back. You have to remember, Raw averages around 6 to 7 million viewers every week, and any of the three would love to get more supporters, even if its wrestling fans. And remember, some of those fans are intelligent, after all, I'm obsessed and would like to think I'm up on politics a little more than the average person and think I have a decent amount of intelligence. Politicians will stop at nothing to whore themselves out if it gets them more supporters.

I believe it was dear Vince McMahon that taught us that wonderful axiom: Everybody sells everybody.

No, I didn't. I had no idea that dumb shit was going down. It's stupid, and I don't care how many more voters they might attract because of it, and à mon avis, I doubt they would attract that many.

I just watched the Hilary Clinton and as expected it was pretty damn shameful. She talked her usual talk and sprinkled in a few WWE references. Appearantly her wrestling name is Hilrod and she threated to use the People's Elbow. Yeah I know you thinking,"That's bullshit Danny." Yes it is bullshit but she did say it.

Okay so Obama was just as bad. He was doing pretty well with only one wrestling reference (saying politicians act like they're in a king of the ring match). But how does he ruin? He asks, "Do you smell what Barack is cooking?"

Obviously the answer is fried chicken. ^_^

I thought was pretty damn catchy.

Why? Cuz what else is everyone (mostly younger potential voters) watching on Monday nights?

It was entertaining. Yeah, the match itself with the impersonators was just as bad as the Rosie vs. Trump match, but it was still entertaining. I was glad when it was over though. That skit was much too long.
