***BREAKING***
After extensive audio-visual analysis and comparisons to old films archived in the labyrinthine bowels of the Mighty Corrente Building, we’re going on the record to reveal that Barack Obama’s top campaign official, David Axelrod, has been quietly replaced by Smokey the Parrot.
Judge for yourself with this footage from today’s press conference in Montana:
The Obama camp has yet to issue an official explanation, but an anonymous source assured us that the crackers and newspaper will be funded entirely by small private donors.
UPDATE: The Obama camp has blamed the odd appearance and behavior of their spokesman on a “microphone malfunction”; apparently, unable to hear the questions from the assembled reporters, David Axelrod began reading from Senator Obama’s prepared remarks for tomorrow’s scheduled rally in South Dakota. To back up their claims, Obama ‘08 cites the voice of David Gregory saying “Hello? Hello?” at 13 seconds. The veteran reporter’s questions were, unfortunately, drowned out by the chorus of kissing noises from the rest of the Washington press corps.
Please feel free to add your own captions in the comments, dear readers!

who...
who you callin’ cracker? !!!
funny as dammit
that is a truly great post.
but it is over. Obama has won. I don’t like it, but is is a fact. It is just painful to see HRC embarras herself. She lost this the same way she lost health care reform, a prisoner of conventional wisdom.
as little as I like Obama, it will be a good thing for the country to see that warmongering can be a career killer.
I don’t think McSame has a chance, and to look at his fundraising, neither do the pac men.
Well, I'm a "til the last dog dies" guy
And it’s hard for me to see a guy who’s floating Tom Daschle as chief of staff as anything other than conventionally wise, or not.
Centrists, both of ’em, for sure. And voting for what Hans Blix wanted is hardly warmongering.
See why you didn’t want to get into this ;-)
NOTE P.S. I’m trying some blandishments on a Canadian reader to see if I can get some RL single payer posts. “And as I entered the office, behold: There was the Demon Spawn Socialism at the desk…” and so forth.
[x] Any (D) in the general. [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.
Priceless! Catches the mind-numbing platitudes of the Obama
crowd perfectly!
That's funny
I just posted the same video on blog. Great minds think alike.
Best Damned Laugh
I’ve had in a long time.
All Smokey Needs Now
…is an Ambercrombie & Fitch shirt and one of those David Axelrove platitude signs he hands out to all of his props.
I don't think this is a valid metric
I don’t think McSame has a chance, and to look at his fundraising, neither do the pac men.
McCain’s financing is up in the air because of the FEC deadlock. Once that is resolved — and with Hans von Spakovsky out of the picture, that will be soon — the GOP funding machine will make sure McCain has plenty of scratch.
