The ad features Matt Damon with different Americans’ voices - among them Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain and Mayor Bloomberg.
If you’re listening for them, Cindy says: “but there’s still more to do,” Michael says: “Democrats, Republicans, Independents,” and Michelle says: “who are coming together as ONE.”

You know I try to avoid politics on this blog, but this ad for ONE with Matt Damon doing more than ONE voice was too good not to share!

Paris Hilton has responded to John McCain’s ad with this video on Funny or Die and since it is not funny I guess it is the latter.

When the latest season of “Army Wives” premieres on June 8, thousands of men and women will be serving our nation all around the globe, making an impact on our lives in so many ways — by protecting our families and our interests abroad, making our own country safe for our kids and helping others in need along the way. Meanwhile, their families are also making some incredible sacrifices here at home, and “Army Wives” strives to tell some of those very stories of strength, endurance and love. This election year, presidential candidates John McCain and Barack Obama have taken time out from the campaign trail to join Lifetime in saluting our dedicated troops and their loved ones. Watch the video messages from these two candidates. Plus, find out how you can support military families like those represented in the show “Army Wives” by seeking out the organizations and resources..

We’re a bit frightened by the fact that high-ranking political officials are told to leave their BlackBerrys outside in an unguarded basket during high-level meetings (really, it’s “common practice”), but nevertheless, one chap who tried to take advantage of the situation didn’t quite make it out undiscovered. During a recent political meetup in New Orleans, a Mexican press attaché managed to slip a half dozen or so BlackBerrys into his pocket before darting to the airport with visions of black market markups in his head. Before he could exit the country, however, Secret Service had tracked him down after catching him via surveillance footage. As it stands, the responsible individual has been fired from his post, but there’s been no word on whether the US will take any further actions. Reevaluating the whole “leaving them out in the open” practice may be a good start — just sayin’.

That is the best parody yet I have seen of the f*cking videos from Jimmy Kimmel Live! I love the way that Hugh edited the video, so that it actually worked! Shame candidates don’t curse!

Maybe if Jack Nicholson’s ad was more like that I would consider voting for Hilary Clinton. Not!
But you have to admit that parody is funny. If you like that ad, check out omovies to see some of the other funny stuff they have done.
UPDATE: Here is there take how the Dr Phil interview with ex-Gov Spitzer would be like and I think they are pretty right on.

digg_url = ‘http://digg.com/world_news/Electronic_voting_is_only_for_filth_mongers’; Sure, electronic voting has had its fair share of troubles, but there’s no denying that it’s the wave of the future — and we’re always intrigued by plans like the one being floated in Poland right now that would allow citizens to vote online from their homes, since that seems like a great way to increase participation. Of course, some people are just never going to get it, and it looks like former Polish prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski is the latest Luddite curmudgeon to risk your ire, saying that he’s not exactly thrilled with the idea of a “young person sitting in front of a computer, watching video clips and pornography while sipping a bottle of beer and voting when he feels like it.” Kaczynski went on to say that as a whole, Internet users are “the easiest group to manipulate, to suggest who to vote for” — which probably means that in addition to not using a cell phone or having a bank account (true!), he’s never actually been on the Internet either. Tell you what, Minister: you come in here and successfully manipulate a Mac vs. PC flamewar, maybe we’ll talk. Deal?

As a resident of NY, I want to know how he spent $80,000 on hookers. I mean, what do you get for $80,000? And also what do you get $5,500 an hour. With all I have learned in the last few days about how much hookers make in an hour, I realized I went in to the wrong profession.
To be honest I don’t know much about Eliot Spitzer as a Governor, but my dad told me sucked as much as he paid to be…
And finally I thought politicians got it free, so maybe if someone told him that he would still be running the state…you know kind of like how Clinton continued to run the country!

MSNBC suspended correspondent David Shuster yesterday for an undetermined period for making a disparaging on-air remark about Chelsea Clinton. Meanwhile, officials in her mother's campaign raised the possibility of punishing the news channel by boycotting future debates.

Don’t forget to Declare Yourself and vote! That is as political as I will get on the subject!

What an original way to get people to register to vote!!! But I am not sure I can look at Rosario Dawson and Wilmer Valderrama the same way…what a messy kisser…

It is the last part I am referring to where David Letterman messes with John Edwards hair. How sad and stupid.
But seriously how likable was John Edward on the show! Go Edwards!!!

You have to sit through the whole clip and you will blown away by this political mashup!!! Way cool! David Bowie would be proud!
Thanks Dave!

That someday he will back in the White House.
I guess it is tough for Bill Clinton to campaign for Hillary Clinton because she desperately needs his help!

Sure, it’s important to know Candidate A’s position on the environment or how Candidate B plans to handle our international affairs, but when it comes to the issue of character, we’ll suggest that there is no single attribute more telling than a presidential hopeful’s electronic devices of choice. For instance, an Xbox-lover might engage the country even more deeply in the gears of war, while a Roomba owner would likely work to ensure the cleanliness of our national roads and parks. So what, then, does the AP’s poll of the 2008 presidential candidates’ favorite gadgets say about this current crop of potential world leaders? Unfortunately, that they’re a pretty boring bunch: six of the nine respondents could only manage to come up with run-of-mill iPods and BlackBerries (and couldn’t anyone at least give us some model names to work with — we can’t live without knowing if Hillary prefers the 3G nano to the 2G). Only Republicans Giuliani, Huckabee, and McCain strayed from the pack here, although America’s Mayor seems a little behind the times with his “CD player,” and Senator McCain certainly won’t be getting much work done with one hand on his cherished TV remote. Anyway, all of this has got us wondering: what do you think that some of today’s popular gadgets might indicate about their owner’s character?

Chinese astronauts want to turn the vast emptiness of space a disturbing shade of red — and steal the solar wind’s precious bodily fluids — by establishing a space station, along with its very own branch of the Communist Party of China. China’s still a long way from setting up its own space station, so General Ripper hasn’t got anything to worry about just yet, although next year the country will send a three man crew into space: let us remind you that China is only the third nation on earth to achieve the feat of sending people into space. Anyway, once these “space communists” manage to set up shop in orbit, they’ll be looking forward to activities such as “learning the Party’s policies and exchanging opinions on the Party’s decisions”; potentially including discussion of the Party’s decision to send people 200 miles up, only to require they spend the whole time talking about politics.
