The Daily Show Summons Abe Lincoln to Give His Two Cents on Obama's Nomination
What better way to fete the historic nomination of Barack Obama as a presidential candidate than by using The Daily Show's time machine to bring back The Railsplitter:
Between Hillary Clinton and John McCain, who ended up looking worse on the respective Barack follow-up?

The Lincoln segment was lamest.segment.ever.
Vernon: Ron Paul is against big comedy. Or mediocre, over-financed under-performing comedy. Something like that.
A house divided against itself cannot stand, as an aptly appropriate man once said. However the original architects of the original house would have likely been amazed by concrete, so uhm, yeah. And I bet they never envisioned an enraged Auntie Hillary out back with a 10 pound sledge and a slightly off centered, grandpa McCain rocking on the front porch, armed to the teeth with an empty shotgun and a scribbled playbook.
Obama's brilliant strategy of positivity makes them both look foolish. However McCain, standing strongly in front of a green chroma key screen (what we used to call a blue screen), takes the crown. I mean, he delivered a speech that made Bob Dole look like hip and exciting with his little pencil and 3rd person prose. Hell, the McCainiac made Dole seem like a spokesman for Pepsi (oh wait, didn't that happen?). Obama stood tall and proud, with the vigor of a man in his prime, positive and triumphant. McCain's speech on the other hand, had the enthusiasm of a highly political Walmart greeter, standing in front of a giant green, boring corporate Christmas display. Which, like the unfortunately realistic counterpart, I couldn't wait to get away from either.
Who looks worse?
Hillary and her loyal band of unlikely cohorts may be defeated, however they gave it their all, and resemble a bloodied boxer that went 13 rounds, ya know, like the OG Rocky movie, although, she would make a better Apollo, and Obama won, so I guess more like Rocky II.
The point is she emerges a respected and bloody warrior, all be it, a highly delusional and dazed fighter that won't quite give up, long after the bell has rung and Rocky has embraced Adrien.
So after weighing the evidence, I'd have to say McCain.
Somehow I think if Abe DID come back, he'd do a bit more than stand in front of a psychedelic graphic & say WTF.
McCain doesn't pay attention nor care about the country's debt. The expenses to go to war is pushing us more in debt. McCain is a person to push toward war (which is not a war on terrorism based on many sources. Here is one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJbSDBaAt-g
Does he care about the monetary system? We certainly don't care because the news don't care so its not popular to the presidents (except Ron Paul) or the news, not worth thinking about. McCain's goal is to win the war to the end, but apparently unexperienced to recognize the downfall of the bankruptcy. Soon, if the US dollar descends to the worth of a canadian dollar, Mexico US and Canada will have to become one country in order to continue to compete with businesses across the country like China. No vote necessary, it will be a business deal. If you want more country spending, vote McCain. If you want higher prices, vote McCain.
I would like a bumper sticker that says "McCain for more spending and higher prices"
Not when they realize that I smoke and drink and love parking lots and struggle to not be an Unwed Mother. I am sure that their daughters are much like me and wonder why they face this fate in life and no one cares to help them out of their situation.
Why buy the Cow when you can get the milk for free? And if you can't get it from the Cow you want, there are plenty of others in the field.
So what is the problem? Are we stuck with a generation of men that can too easily say "I don't have to marry you?" and a bunch of women that enable this?
The women do enable it. Pity
