John King Will Kill Us All

Maybe because I was a huge CCN junkie during the election and because I have a sort of weird fascination with John King (totally asexual. I save my wonky crushes for Anderson Cooper and Campbell Brown), I found this Daily Show segment to be an absolute joy. It's not that far-fetched either. John King has shown us that he has the ability to track down any of his embedded reporters at any time (even if he doesn't have the ability to conjure up ways for McCain to win the electoral vote. I cannot find video evidence of this, but he spent about five minutes at his magic map trying to find any possible scenario that would guarantee victory for McCain. He stymied at California. He could not in good conscience even PRETEND that MAYBE McCain could win that state. King is nothing if not principled). Anywhoodle, all of the correspondents wear a microchip of some kind and pop up like magic on the magic map. He can tell you in which exact bar Candy Crowley is trolling for hook-ups after hours. This is valuable information. At the biggest disadvantage? His wife Dana Bash, who followed the McCain campaign around for the past million months. "Dana, why were you in room 218 of the hotel at 2:24 AM on October the 21st when you were supposed to be in room 216?"

I also loved this segment because it reminded me of the fabulous mock movie preview my husband (et. al.) made for his firm's 25th anniversary party. You can view said video here.
