It’s come to this: “Hill-Rod” to appear on WWE Raw

McCain sounds forced, Hillary sounds desperate, Obama made me laugh aloud. This is a good example, though, of why I can’t help but sympathize with her to some extent: The “Hill-Rod” thing is so painfully lame, even as a form of ingratiation, that it’s almost endearing. She’s like the class nerd running against the homecoming king, trying to connect with people in a way that comes easily to him but not to her. So she goes out there and makes a dork of herself, knowing it’s the best she can do and hoping at least to earn some points from being seen as a good sport. Keep that chin up, Hill-Rod.

Terrible. Taking away perfectly good time from “King of the Ring” tonight to play canned political messages.

what ya going to do brotha when The Hilldawg runs wild on you
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 4:19 PM
This is what happens when Granny goes hip-hop.
swami on April 21, 2008 at 4:19 PM
He won’t appear on a debate (too bad, because he really needs a good showing at a debate rather than to seem like someone running from a fight) but he will appear on a Rasslin’ program.
Now, WWE gets 5 million viewers, so it’s possible he’ll reach more folks than CBS…
Nethicus on April 21, 2008 at 4:20 PM
McCain was awesome. Get off my lawn you two!

I smell what yer cookin’ and it smells like BO!
ronsfi on April 21, 2008 at 4:22 PM
If I hear Obama say “distractions” one more time, I swear I’m gonna go WWE on him.
emmaline1138 on April 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Oh dude! Just a matter of time. MC Hill-Rod? Maybe we should just call her 20 Cent.
ronsfi on April 21, 2008 at 4:23 PM
McCain made me laugh but for all the wrong reasons. Made me think of video I just saw earlier today of him in Alabama in a black church having absolutely no rhythm and being hugged, awkwardly, by a large woman who could easily have been named Bertha. He’s trying, but……
D0WNT0WN on April 21, 2008 at 4:24 PM
She needed a feather boa.

ninjapirate on April 21, 2008 at 4:25 PM
So questions about his character and judgment are “distractions from the real issues”, but this is just fine to Barry.
“To the special interests”, like the ones I’ve been taking money from, the misleading the general public about.

Kan I haz bulit n hed naw?
natesnake on April 21, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Ba Rock couldn’t hold a candle to The Rock. I’d take the latter for president in a heartbeat.
Was funny, though.
MadisonConservative on April 21, 2008 at 4:27 PM
Painfully lame indeed. First American Idol, now this…..What next?
saiga on April 21, 2008 at 4:31 PM
oh dont you just love it , at least if your going to pay homage to the nature boy lets set the record stright Ric Flair has been HW champ 22 times . 10 in the nwa, 3 in thew wwf and 9 in WCW. b
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Touchet!
saiga on April 21, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Well, in all fairness, he does have some trouble with his arms you may have heard about. Could also affect his dancing.
ThePrez on April 21, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Tyra and the wwe are ok, but he won’t go on O’rielly?
BradnSA on April 21, 2008 at 4:34 PM

It really bothers me that the candidates have to do these idiotic “comedy” routines.

It could be worse guys…MUCH WORSE.

Heh, but they won’t go near UFC! Pussies. Dana White has an ad about voting that plays during UFC events now and I have a hunch that most of the USA and military loving UFC fans won’t be voting for Hill or Barry this fall.
NTWR on April 21, 2008 at 4:41 PM
Johnny-Mac looked deadly serious. Looked like he really wanted to kick some butt. Probably the guy who talked him into doing that silly promo. HA! HA!
RMR on April 21, 2008 at 4:42 PM
actually I think Hil Rod came out on top in this exchange
McCain was lame but I liked the McCainiacs part
Obama came off like a conceited dork
windansea on April 21, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Oof. All three were bad.”Can you smell what Barack is cooking” ahh der. He came off geeky. Come on! Sell it!
McCain too, “whatcha gonna do when all the McCainiacs run wild on ya”. No no no. Whatchu gonna DOOOOO when McCainiacs run wild on YOUUUUUUU brother!
Dash on April 21, 2008 at 4:42 PM
any truth to the rumor McCain is going to do a run in, take Hillrod and Ba-rock with a steel chair flip them the bird and crack open a few cold ones in the middle of the ring .
{ok i did start this rumor }
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 4:45 PM
It’s rainin’ McCain! >:}
Chakra Hammer on April 21, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Will America ever recover from the shame?
LimeyGeek on April 21, 2008 at 4:46 PM
BTW, it was funny how McCain called him “Ba-Rok” LMAO!
Chakra Hammer on April 21, 2008 at 4:48 PM
First, American Idol, now WWE, is nowhere safe from crappy political pitches…? What’s next week? Maybe the candidates will drop-in on the sitcoms…”On an all-new Two & A Half Men”…
CP on April 21, 2008 at 4:50 PM
I don’t watch TV that much hopefully that queer eye 4 the straight guy show is canceled. :\
Chakra Hammer on April 21, 2008 at 4:53 PM
I smell your cookin’, and it’s like Feisel’s tent.
Goat, camel pods, strange spices and pineapple from your home town.
Hening on April 21, 2008 at 4:57 PM
What the hell did I just watch?
Squarestate on April 21, 2008 at 4:59 PM
Obama’s is awesome. I hope he he says “jabroni” or “roody-poo candyass” in his full remarks.
McCain’s is good, especially using Ric Flair’s “to be the man, you got to beat the man.”
Poor Hillary. She always looks out of place no matter what she’s doing.
Enrique on April 21, 2008 at 5:05 PM
That’s a minute of my life wasted.

What’s up with “The People’s Elbow”? Is that some wrestling term I don’t know or is she admitting she’s a commie?
Veeshir on April 21, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Let’s just hope Jerry Lawler doesn’t fawn over Hil-Rod’s puppies…
Keljeck on April 21, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Wrestling term
brak on April 21, 2008 at 5:13 PM
peoples elbow was the rocks finishing move
really its just a very lame elbow drop to the chest .
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 5:15 PM
Did McCain call him Barnacle Bama? Fashizzle.
Buttercup on April 21, 2008 at 5:17 PM
What’s really endearing, is to see both of you tough cookies, show sympathy to the big underdog. Nice, really nice.
Entelechy on April 21, 2008 at 5:21 PM
actually McCain cuts a pretty good promo.
all that was missing was” and thats the bottom line because Stone Cold John McCain says so “
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 5:26 PM
At least he’s better than Bobby Lashley, what more can you ask?
“Would you cut and run?”
“…NO!”
Keljeck on April 21, 2008 at 5:31 PM
oh its on now
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 5:33 PM
Hey Obama what your cookin’ smells like communism with a little bit of socialism thrown in.
About as appealing as a SBD(Silent but Deadly).

Chakra Hammer on April 21, 2008 at 5:39 PM
LOL! you know that fake they took about 80 pounds off Hillary’s rear end!
Chakra Hammer on April 21, 2008 at 5:43 PM
only 80 pounds??
are you sure about that ???
has she been dieting ???
Mojack420 on April 21, 2008 at 5:46 PM
After the Chris Benoit situation I am shocked that all three will be on Raw tonight
kevmack on April 21, 2008 at 5:50 PM
WWE? They’re going to do WWE? To hell with this, I’m leaving and defecting to the Galactic Empire. There’s as much reality there as in this damn joke of a race.
thekingtut on April 21, 2008 at 6:07 PM
Come on people, lighten up. This was fun and funny. I enjoyed it
MadMaxMagnum on April 21, 2008 at 6:22 PM
McCain should have gone the Junkyard Dog route.
Hillary? Mae Young, obviously.
Ba-rock…meh. Dude’s going rock bottom…
sulla on April 21, 2008 at 6:36 PM
What the candidates are really saying to the WWE audience:
McCain 3:16 says “I’m no damn good at THIS!”
Obama 3:16 says “Vote for ME, you stupid hicks, or you’re a racist!”
Hillary 3:16 says “McCain married a pretty, wealthy woman. Obama married an angry, black woman. I married one of YOU!”
SuperCool on April 21, 2008 at 6:49 PM
WOO SERIOUS POLITICS.
Kinda cute until you remember that these three are running for the highest political office in the land.
Reaps on April 21, 2008 at 6:50 PM
I hope the boys over at Red State Update have a little fun with this.
Dave Shay on April 21, 2008 at 7:31 PM
The smartest thing McCain could’ve done was have Meghan perform his speech for him.
ScottMcC on April 21, 2008 at 7:40 PM
I feel obligated to point out that tonight’s RAW is taking place in Greenville, SC.
In Greenville County.
Which picked Bush over Kerry on ‘04 by a 2:1 margin in ‘04.
Set your TiVo’s, me hearties…this may turn out fascinating.
fusionaddict on April 21, 2008 at 7:46 PM
And I just realized I referenced ‘04 twice.
Hey, it’s always happy hour somewhere.
fusionaddict on April 21, 2008 at 7:47 PM
Someone named Dwayne just had his eyebrow pop off his head after Barak tried to spout that line.
aikidoka on April 21, 2008 at 7:48 PM
McCain should’ve said,
“Space Mountain may be the oldest ride in the park, but it’s still got the longest line! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
Mr. Wednesday Night on April 21, 2008 at 7:49 PM
And lastly, I have to wonder how Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (a staunch Republican) will react to a pinko commandeering his catchphrase.
fusionaddict on April 21, 2008 at 7:50 PM
Is he really a republican? I know he attended both conventions a few years ago, but wasn’t sure.
If he is, explains why hollywood doesn’t give him any decent scripts :P

MirCat on April 21, 2008 at 8:23 PM
Oh man… allah, how come you didn’t post the tip I sent you last week about the three of them doing a sketch on the CMT awards show? That was far more entertaining than this.
radjah shelduck on April 21, 2008 at 8:30 PM
He’s got time for this and Daily Show appearances but not a debate? He’s got a weird definition for “distraction.”
Spolitics on April 21, 2008 at 8:38 PM
Ummm,that was funny!McCainiac’s?
canopfor on April 21, 2008 at 9:16 PM
Dude, that is EXACTLY what McCain should have said!
That’s a line that would’ve had the whole house marking out like an Austin run-in.
Hillary should have ended every sentence with “WHAT!?!” and closed by calling for a couple of “Hillweisers”.
Doesn’t matter what Obama says, it always sounds like it’s delivered with all the passion of a mid-day nap anyway.
SuperCool on April 21, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Umaga is voting for McCain. heh

I don’t know…Granny Clampett was very formidable in the ring during that old Beverly Hillbillies episode.
jgapinoy on April 22, 2008 at 12:45 AM
for quoting classic Ric Flair, McCain wins. Wooooooo!
MannyT-vA on April 22, 2008 at 2:07 AM
There goes the dignity of the office.
srhoades on April 22, 2008 at 10:57 AM
Nothing McCain said I have a problem with, but he should have ducked this one. This isn’t exactly dignified.
