Timewasters: Political hockey

Posted at 12:02 AM on February 8, 2008 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

From News Cut's "there's something you don't see every day department:"

A presidential candidate vying for the electoral delegates of Texas by playing air hockey on national TV, using a puck in the shape of the Lone Star State.

But for the most biting satire of the political season -- so far -- little else comes close to Jon Stewart's treatment of Mitt Romney's own words on Thursday, when the Republican dropped out of the '08 presidential race, and kicked off the '12 campaign.
