There is also the fact that they both had on the bracelets for the dead soldiers. That could be done with humor – who got it first but might be a sensitive subject.

I thought they totally missed the humor in McCain’s refusal to look at or address Obama and the contrast between how they referred to one another–”John vs Senator Obama”. I definitely would like to see the same actors perform my version and then compare! Since mine was written before the debate, I’d have to add a few things. The one thing that jumps out is to address the lapel pin discrepancy–no flag for McCain.

Just watched it and they are both equally good. SNL has the edge because it was live and watchable versus just reading. Of course, my knowing you makes it better – I could possibly see it live someday.

Anybody see the SNL debate parody? It was pretty good. Mine is funnier.

Of course, I’m biased.

MD – Thanks for the tip but I had many of those conversations with TB prior to his married days and remember them well! Acceptance is always good for the self esteem or ego, as the case may be. Sure beats rejection any day.

I’m hearing reports from Oxford that things are getting busier. My child has rented out part of his parking lot at work to some Obama folks – thought TB might like to know he is furthering the cause of his party of choice.

JL,
Just so you know, TB’s “That’s pretty gratifying.” really means “Are any of them are hot.” and “I wonder if they would be interested in ……” at which point that TB recalls that he married a chick way outside of his league such that he better hit “submit comment” before he types something that he will regret.

That’s pretty gratifying. Please invite them to keep up with the site.

You know, if somebody could turn this into a chain email, that would be cool. Just cut and paste and put at the bottom….”This is so awesome. If you forward this to just 5 people the campaign you want to win will receive $1000 for every person who reads and forwards it to support efforts at outdoing the other side’s chain emails.”

Just read your conversation to the girls at work and they were cracking up! They asked where I got that from and I told them you wrote it and they were quite impressed.

I was going to have them both pull off masks at the end of the conversation a la Scooby Doo, or even more, like the old Miller Lite commercials with John Madden where he pulls off the mask to reveal Rodney Dangerfield. McCain would’ve really been Karl Rove and Obama would’ve been Charles Barkley, Jimmy Carter, Hillary Clinton? I couldn’t really decide. Using Osama would’ve been to easy and I wanted to go for the misdirection humor. I finally decided to go with them heading to McCain’s place for free beer.

Anyway, just thought I’d give you the alternate ending.
