has remixed a few of our favorite things (public television, politics, and literacy) in this new series. In this episode of Political Reading Rainbow, nine-year-old Leah Rubinstein reviews Meghan McCain's book, My Dad John McCain.
Political humor, and a catchy theme song
This clip from slate.com shows Democratic politicians calling John McCain "old" without directly referencing his age or health. It's not fair game to point out that John McCain would be the oldest first-term president to take office in American history.
Much better to say, "out of touch" or living in the "past." Political tact.
Thanks to JD Walsh and Les Misbarack, this presidential campaign just got a little more in key. Staffers at Barack Obama's headquarters sing about freedom the night before the election.
Look for a cameo by Republicans John McCain and Sarah Palin at 1:52.
236.com's comedic coverage of the National Republican Convention has it all--protests, dancing, John McCain, and a tribute to Ronald Reagan. Here is 236.com's minute-long wrap up of the activity:
Conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican, friends, fighting, and more.
Democratic campaign ads would look very different. And Barack Obama might respond to the recent media controversy over sex education for kindergardeners like 23/6 has.
What would that make John McCain?
The angel and devil on John McCain's shoulders disagree on health care policy in this latest video from Lunatics and Liars. Spoiler: the bad side likes bureaucrats and hates nationalized healthcare.
Political humor from McCain's speech at the Republican National Convention
Although kids cannot vote, they can influence how their parents spend money. And ABC has covered the political toys you're going to want this season--John McCain Pez dispensers, Barack Obama action figures, and the "Sarahnator" doll.
Consumerism. Check it out
A bold new campaign commercial for John McCain features Americans like you who touch themselves while thinking about Sarah Palin. Have you masturbated to Sarah Palin yet?
Political humor, created by Iamzumwalt and approved by John McCain
The terrific Target Women feminist video series on CurrentTV looks at the way products are targeted at women. This episode considers women's consumer role in the presidential election--and how the candidates are being sold.
John McCain and Barack Obama try to attract agitated Hillary supporters. Their cable TV plugs and sensitive language are meant to win women's votes and make them feel respected and understood at the same time.
Sexy, funny, underpants. Political humor
In a reversal of the previous national polls, John McCain now has a 12% lead among white women (up 20% from before). But ABC assures us that Barack Obama hasn't given up on the XX factor in this presidential campaign. He's been smacking down Sarah Palin in his advertisements and campaign speeches. OH SNAP!
Fierce political news. Check out Hillary's appearance near the end
