This starts out weird enough, but at :40 it basically switches into Tim & Eric mode.

Now is the time for action!

I've seen quite a few of his weird videos and this one might be the weirdest.

But the smoking Cain staffer ad is definitely the funniest one. And the music kind of reminded me of the Drive soundtrack. Maybe this dude will end up taking Santorum out with a hammer.

In regards to Dave from Knoxville calling me a 13 year old boy, I'M SEVENTEEN! Get your facts straight. Nothing against you though, you're one of my favorite callers.  Also, I haven't asked her, but I assume my sister looked up  most of that Ron Paul stuff online. I'm a big politics junkie, and I think some of that brushed off on her. We've watched EVERY SINGLE republican debate together. 

She thinks denigrating my name to the FOT is the funniest thing ever. she won't stop talking about it to me.

    Peace Out, JFSEP

She has got to call the show!

His little head twitch at :21 gets me.

Cain's slowly developing smile at the end looks like he's being told somebody took Santorum out with a hammer.

Almost a full two minutes in, I started to think, wait, I thought this was a Herman Cain video. I guess I misread the order of the posts. And then I kept watching just to see what the hell it was, and it turned out to be a Herman Cain video.

Also: "what are you guys, liberals?" and "no eye contact."

Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

The strangest part to me, oddly enough, was the line "He'll put the United back in United States," given that one of the Right's top directives is to minimize the United and put all of the focus on States.

I guess in honor of all the comparisons made between his work and "CTV," Tim Heidecker made his own Herman Cain ad:

A bit too on the nose, there, Tim!
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Also, regardless of any other outcome, the Rise and Spectacular Flameout of Rick Perry will be one of the enduring stories of this election.  It would kill me if I were him to know that and to be able to do nothing to stop it.

At least he hasn't gotten desperate yet.

I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Agreed.

Rick Perry is the Kevin Maas of political candidates.
Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.
