Election 2008 :: It’s Not Over Yet

Worth checking out if you’re not a regular viewer of The Daily Show: Calvin Trillin banters with Jon Stuart and reads some of the poems from his “epic” Deciding the Next Decider: The 2008 Presidential Race in Rhyme.

Some excerpts from Powell’s entry:

ON OBAMA:
Obama’s rhetoric, she said, was lofty
But unsubstantial air, like Mr. Softee.

ON MCCAIN:
His party was no longer torn asunder,
And all he’d had to do was knuckle under.

ON BIDEN:
Joe carries many thoughts inside his head,
And often leaves but few of them unsaid.

ON PALIN:
On Russia’s being not too far away
She sounded eerily like Tina Fey.
