Hmmm... this video devoted 1:01 minutes to Obama and only 31 seconds to McCain! I thought the AP was supposed to be unbiased? Obama got twice the time McCain got. Can you say balanced reporting!

[tengofreeholes]

I'm John McCain and my diaper is full.

And a chuck of my face is falling off.

And I don't know how to get on the Internet.

And I need a nap.

But I am ready to lead the most powerful nation in the world.

I'm John McCain and i approve your vote for Obama.
