From last night’s Saturday Night Live show, an SNL Digital Short poking fun at Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad statement “There’s no homosexuals in Iran.” Features Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Andy Samberg.
Enjoy.
It’s the 50th episode of The Lunch! Rob and Will take a break from the campaigns and look back at some of the Political Lunch footage that didn’t make the cut. Also: a confession and one VERY special announcement.
Wrong party but a good one liner.

There is a must see video at Government Gap on Kyle Sampson’s testimony and DOJ U.S. attorney purge.
I would make the video available here, but my object embedding skills are low. I can’t figure out how to set the parameters so the video does not autostart. If someone can point me to decent Adobe Flash Player documentation or pass along some sample code, I would greatly appreciate it.
This video may be ancient history for many of you, but if you have not seen it, it’s worth a few minutes of your time. This is Dave Letterman’s pseudo-appearance at last week’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Letterman is introduced by Tony Snow, which was his first “outing” since the return of his cancer.
On Imus this morning, the show’s Bill Clinton character comments on the “Race for the Presidency.” I suggest paying particular attention to the Chris Dodd and Sanjaya comparison.
Chuckle of the day…from E. J. Dionne’s column:
A reader once expressed his amazement that Republicans win office by saying government can’t work, then go about proving it.
As I was going through many old posts preparing to convert to TPC’s new system, I stumbled on this item. I thought this deserved an encore presentation.

"Tonight, by executive order, I am creating a permanent department with a vital mission: to ensure that the political scandals, underhanded dealings, and outright criminal activities of this administration are handled in a professional and orderly fashion," Bush said.
The centerpiece of Bush’s plan is the Department Of Corruption, Bribery, And Incompetence, which will centralize duties now dispersed throughout the entire D.C.-area political establishment.
The Scandal Secretary will log all wiretaps and complaints of prisoner abuse, coordinate paid-propaganda efforts, eliminate redundant payoffs and bribes, oversee the appointment of unqualified political donors to head watchdog agencies, control all leaks and other high-level security breaches, and oversee the disappearance of Iraq reconstruction funds. He will also be responsible for issuing all official denials that laws have been broken.
"Many of the current scandals in Washington are crucial to the success of my priorities for the nation," Bush said. "The Department of Corruption will safeguard these important misdeeds."
White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card characterized the president’s announcement as part of a larger effort to usher in a "new era of scandal management."
"The entire DCBI budget will come from private donors and investors, through an illegal slush fund," he said. "The money we’ll save by eliminating redundancies and reducing scandal-related overhead will come back to citizens tenfold in the form of offshore corporate tax savings."
The Scandal Secretary will choose the elected official or business leader who will assume full responsibility for each scandal once it reaches fruition. His department will pen all tearful apologies and plea agreements and make all necessary arrangements for the designated scapegoat’s transition to a think tank, consultancy, law-partner position, or, if unavoidable, cursory stint in a minimum-security prison. Scapegoats who cannot be placed will be given oversight positions within the Department of Corruption itself.

This is a week old. I wish I had caught it earlier. That notwithstanding, it’s worth posting.
Ann Coulter (I don’t need to add any description do I) is hurting badly for readership. I just read the first paragraph, started laughing and moved on.
Titled: “Why Can’t I Get Arrested”
I’m getting a little insulted that no Democratic prosecutor has indicted me. Liberals bring trumped-up criminal charges against all the most dangerous conservatives. Why not me?
Hmm…
