Meanwhile on Facebook: Clint Eastwood Cribs from Grandpa Simpson?

Next, Clint Eastwood will go on at length about how he used to wear an onion on his belt during the war. Which was the style at the time. . .


PS. Yes, I know that the original drawing said, "OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUD," but it's still funny!

John McCain as Grandpa Simpson: The Onion Belt Story

I ran this clip some time ago, and just checked to see if it was still available (YouTube videos notoriously go missing, right when you want to watch one). It's still there. And it's still ten kinds of funny.

This author of this clip has taken footage of John McCain, and replaced the soundtrack with one of The Simpsons' best "rambling Grandpa Simpson" stories. Throw in the Matlock theme song, and you've got comedy gold! Although, to be fair, Sarah Palin is much more guilty of the wandering sentence. Anyway, enjoy. Even if it's for the second (or third, or fourth) time!

Funny Picture of the Day

I've come up with a few takes on the John McCain/Sarah Palin pairing, comparing John McCain to the Phantom of the Opera, and Sarah Palin to Gidget and Lisa Loopner's mother, Mrs. Enid Loopner. But this image of Grandpa Simpson and Maude Flanders really hits the nail on the head!

John McCain Does His Best Grandpa Simpson Impression

I'm double-dipping into the MSNBC Countdown with Keith Olbermann posts, because this was too funny--or is it sad?--to pass up. John McCain couldn't sound more like Grandpa Abraham J. Simpson if Dan Castellaneta done a voice-over.

John McCain's "Don't Call Me Bush!" Speech

Well the high points, anyway. Low points? He sure is full of energy, though isn't he? He has a certain, I don't know, "hey you kids, get off my lawn!" quality about him.

John McCain: Abe Simpson or Montgomery Burns?

I ask this question because of a post at one of my favorite sources, AmericaBlog. I'm presenting the entire post here, because it is too short to excerpt:

[Excerpt]

McCain says "League of Nations" needs to deal with Iran

Too bad the League of Nations was disbanded in 1946 when John McCain was ten years old. Oh, and one of our commenters added this:

Reminds me of Mr. Burns at the Post Office:

"Yes, I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by
aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?"

Contrast that performance, with this one:

Hahahahaha! Matlock! Hahahaha! Um, excuse me, but this tickles my funny bone in all the right spots. . . I wonder if onions on our belts will ever come back into style?
