Just what the doctor ordered for Barry this morning: An endless cable news loop of this creature from abroad going after Palin’s kid and her 18-year-old fiance.
The boss is already on backlash watch. Current pessimism meter reading: 9.5.
Update: A tipster points out that at 48 seconds in, you’ll find one of the biggest celebrities in the world applauding for the biggest.

redrock on September 8, 2008 at 11:32 AM
Euro-wienies for Obama..
the guy looks like he was pick up from the gutter..
DaveC on September 8, 2008 at 11:32 AM
My blood boiled when I saw clips of this on TV. And to have this coming from a non-American, on top of it, is really infuriating. Totally beyond the pale.
progressoverpeace on September 8, 2008 at 11:32 AM
This fool from Britain makes retards look brilliant.

GT on September 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Nah this is awesome….Brit leftbats helped cost Jean-Francois Ohio back in ‘04….seesm they don’t like outsiders interfering in family squablles.
Keep firing leftbats the more Americans see you love Barry overseas the worse he’ll so here in the middle of America.

Someone please make an ad of this!
justinok on September 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
this is the same jerk off who went to work dressed as Osama Bin Laden on 9/12/01

It never ceases to amaze me how the europeans not only think that their opinion of our elections matter but that their opinions are more learned and more important than our own.
Blake on September 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Allah you write the best titles for your posts.
MedSchoolCatholic on September 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I just heard this on Laura’s show. I love how we allow foreigners to come into our country and call our current president a ‘retarded cowboy’.
carbon_footprint on September 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
I’d like to hear what Craig Ferguson is going to say about this bloody idiot.
BTW, thanks again loony left :D The one thing that we do need more of is moronic Europeans mocking small town American moms. It goes nicely with Obama’s 200K crowd of German adorers. lol
YellowDawg on September 8, 2008 at 11:34 AM
Like something my cat coughed up.
LastRick on September 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM
Laura Ingraham has been banging away at this twatboy member of the Axis of Douche. Even Rove couldn’t come up with something this dementedly perfect. Or maybe he did (looking nervously over my shoulder….)
Captain Hate on September 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM
Looks like Obama has locked up much sought after ineligible-to-vote-in-the-US eighties hair farming junkie bloc.
Citizen Duck on September 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM
This isn’t real. Right? I mean is this some character from the next Austin Powers movie? Some guy who was frozen in a time capsule in the 80’s ?
D0WNT0WN on September 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM
C’mon now…this is simply a case of Obama envy.
BobMbx on September 8, 2008 at 11:35 AM
Awesome headline.
Thanks for the help, you British twit!
rockmom on September 8, 2008 at 11:36 AM
This guy isn’t funny at all.

Revoke his visa and ship him back.
Cody1991 on September 8, 2008 at 11:36 AM
in the pre-show, I saw what I guess was some rappers being drove in with obama stickers on side of Car and a McCain look alike driving them, as Chaufer I guess
jp on September 8, 2008 at 11:36 AM
I guess MTV failed to vet Russell Brand.

aquaviva on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Been arrested 11 times for public indecency.
Alcoholic.

Cocaine addict.
Yes, I will listen to his endorsement!
carbon_footprint on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Well, he got a huge round of applause from that audience….
wise_man on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
I thought the guy was coked up a bit myself
jp on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
MTV is still on the tube?
Obama or Die!
dmann on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Your pessimism meter is too low. We’re doomed. I’m sure of it now.
Professor Blather on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
Maybe we should e-mail storm P-diddy asking why he has not fired up the merry-go-round this week?
sven10077 on September 8, 2008 at 11:37 AM
What a freaking monster! We should air this 24/7 as an argument against The One!
stonemeister on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
That ‘tard is why America should not care what other countries think of us. Go home and wank off in front of your own audiences.
Mallard T. Drake on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Stick him in a new ad. ‘Celeb II’?
lodge on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
He’s so “edgy!”
Please, someone push him.
geckomon on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Thank you, the more idiots like this we get to see, the better it is for
Palin/McCainMcCain/Palin.Mig on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
regurgitated talking points at best.. in a funny accent..
MTV has a nice formula.. teens, full of angst, upset at authority, looking for escape, watches a TV channel that feeds on insecurities of said teenager.
with a steady stream of teenagers growing up and watching this tripe..
DaveC on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
Horrible timing for BO, great timing for America.
swami on September 8, 2008 at 11:38 AM
A$$HOLE!
nickj116 on September 8, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Not really. In fact, pans of the crowd showed some looking uneasy to nervous.
Darksean on September 8, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Another big endorsement for BO!
The backlash at the MTV page is pretty fierce.
forest on September 8, 2008 at 11:39 AM
Awesome! Another foreign moron supplies the Republicans with a large sledge hammer with which to beat Obama over head!
HAHA!
mylegsareswollen on September 8, 2008 at 11:39 AM
It’s Dave Rywall.
Akzed on September 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
That’s kind of how I visualize alphie.
Captain Hate on September 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
This guy was in a recent movie, “Forgetting Sarah Marshall“.
It sucked. His character seems to have been a representation of his real self.
DerKrieger on September 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Ah! Denizen of “Global Community”.
RushBaby on September 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
ugh, this guy needs a tick dip. I think i might get lice or something just watching him.
TAKE A SHOWER!
upinak on September 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Shut up
and sing!Mr_Magoo on September 8, 2008 at 11:40 AM
Yeah, the live reaction was tepid. This guy totally miscalculated his studio audience. And the audience at home – well forget it. Major bomb.
forest on September 8, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Creature from the Barack Lagoon?
aquaviva on September 8, 2008 at 11:41 AM

Bumbleing idiots for Obama!
ballz2wallz on September 8, 2008 at 11:41 AM
It works.
Obama is running for President of the global community.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 8, 2008 at 11:41 AM
sadly, this is probably par for the course in obama shilling by MTV. If you wonder why he has higher than usual numbers with the youth, look no farther than MTV and the Daily Show.
jp on September 8, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Too funny…the Dems must be proud to have this fool campaigning for them.
jediwebdude on September 8, 2008 at 11:41 AM
Doomed, yes.
In a sort of global, final sense, as in “That thing will probably be fecund before it dies.”
Determined action now, however… What kills placozoans?
HiHo on September 8, 2008 at 11:42 AM
The Brits don’t seem to be in a good place right now, all I can say is, misery loves company.
4shoes on September 8, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Yep Billy Clinton did the same thing.
upinak on September 8, 2008 at 11:42 AM
The clip doesn’t show him staggering on the way on stage. He had a little trouble with the turntable thingy they were using.
forest on September 8, 2008 at 11:42 AM
keep running this over and over and over….I am sure all those undecided’s in Ohio and Pennsylvania will vote for Barry Hussein after seeing this utter moron…..
Yeah, vote for him to make Euro trash happy….yeah
SDarchitect on September 8, 2008 at 11:42 AM
Ewwwwww…
Call the Fed Election Commision?
He explicitly came out for Barry, and MTV gave him his platform. I can’t imagine they didn’t know, the rant was too well rehearsed.
Thus MTV gave a free on air Political Commercial… which is an in Kine Campaign Contribution, and thus has limits set on it…
Romeo13 on September 8, 2008 at 11:42 AM
That’s the great thing about freedom of speech. It’s all out there and everyone knows who said what.
Asher on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
I watched it – against my better judgement. I shouldn’t have. I apologize to myself.
tgillian on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
It has been reported he is a sex addict. Which sex is he addicted to?
flyoverland on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Proof of the advance of the Idiocracy. That MTV would choose this idiotic moron to host its most important annual awards show is quite emblematic of the sea of politically correct, liberal ignorance in which it swims.
Maybe next year they could find a gay, drug-addict, porn-star, high school drop out to host its MTV Video awards and have him bash smart people with money.
King of the Britons on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Share September’s trophy.
RushBaby on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
This ‘thing’ is called Russell Brand. He can occasionally be very funny, but ultimately he becomes consumed by the urge to swear and talk about his private parts.
He’s huge over here, which is one of the reasons my Green Card lottery application for the US is block-booked for the next five years.
He may well do for McCain/Palin what the Guardian did in 2004 when they swung Ohio for Bush by writing to voters telling them to back Kerry.
Very soon the MTV crowd will be the only constituency Barry has left.
EnglishMike on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
What Blake said. Seriously.
Mommypundit on September 8, 2008 at 11:43 AM
I still believe life begins at conception and has a right to life………….even this thing……
FiveWays on September 8, 2008 at 11:44 AM
I know it. Isn’t about time for the “McCain wants to draft you” scare?
Maybe I’m just not paying attention, not having cable is a refreshing change.

carbon_footprint on September 8, 2008 at 11:44 AM
Very good.
When was the last black PM elected in Britain?
P.S. Citizen of the world? Man, these strange creatures think “the world” consists of London, New York, and L.A.
Very good.
VolMagic on September 8, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Brand acting himself.
DerKrieger on September 8, 2008 at 11:45 AM
Diddy asked for comment…..
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
I am so very sorry.
I am British.
I am embarrassed.
Embarrassed that what used to be a nation with backbone has had its DNA watered down with the wimp gene and particularly embarrassed tonight that of all the people we have exported recently, this complete idiot, who is unfunny by any nation’s standard of humour, was forced upon you.
Russell Brand is an example of one of several hundred reasons why I moved to Hong Kong 16 years ago, and the more I watch the UK descend into irrelevancy, the more I realize the only way I will go back there on a one way ticket is in a body bag.
flagrant on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Rove, you magnificent Bastard. Seriously, we need another celebrity ad, this time with the clip of Brittany applauding this living abortion.
peterargus on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Keep it coming, Brits! Just keep telling the American people how to vote! Tell the American people what you really think of them!
Keep it coming!
I for one can’t wait to punch y’all in the nose this November!
newton on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
The donks may want to put some frosting on this campaign trump card by making an ad of a Michael Vick interview on the respective candidates.
a capella on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
+1
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Heck, MTV gave Brittney Spears 3 awards last night… and they call Bush retarded.
saltydogg14 on September 8, 2008 at 11:46 AM
Oh Dear Lord- please PLEASE,
Let this thing, along with P Diddy and Maddonna make a pro-Obama ad……and let it run on a 24 hour loop…..
Please dear God! I’ll even stop swearing if you do!
FiveWays on September 8, 2008 at 11:47 AM
ZZZZZ…. oh, I’m sorry. Is this when I’m supposed to wake up and give a rat’s @$$ what the rest of the world thinks after billions in foreign and humanitarian aid to bail them out of problems so they can go on criticizing us?
What’s that, you mean I don’t have to give a rat’s @$$ after all???
Oh, never mind then.
ZZZZZ…
manwithblackhat on September 8, 2008 at 11:47 AM
I think everyone is missing the big picture here. Mr. Brand is clearly a conservative, pro-America Brit who has gone undercover to help swing the election to McCain and Palin.
Either that or he should be admitted to the hospital immediately to be treated for toxic levels of douchebag in his system.

someone call the FCC and enforce Nancy Pelosi’s FAIRNESS DOCTRINE again….if we had it, MTV would be running 2 hours of PRO Republican programming tonight…..hippocrits!

seriously, new Celeb Obama ad should be made from this
jp on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
All that was missing was a pointy hat!
kiakjones on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
One more thing:
My husband is from Chapel Hill, NC…serious liberal territory (especially Carrboro) and he said in ‘04, he was CERTAIN that Kerry had the election in the bag because of the sheer magnitude of Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers alone! These folks were OUTRAGED when they lost…like, they could NOT believe it. Point is, these people (and the global socialist community) live in a bubble assuming everyone believes the way they do and everyone who does not must be ignorant or evil. What a surprise it must be to them to see, election after election, America still stands alone and makes her own decisions? I pray for more unilateralism, not less.
Mommypundit on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
good to see Jesse Camp getting some work these days
Kendrick on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
Bush has an MBA from Harvard, was a successful governor of a large state, and won two terms in the U.S. Presidency. If Bush is a “retard” then this witless “entertainer” person ranks somewhere between dirt and algae.
Cicero43 on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
Oh Pleeeeeze, let McCain use this as a campaign ad.
bloggless on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
ROVE! You magnificent BA……well, you know……
FiveWays on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
O.K., here’s the silver lining in all this; As the “media”, (MoronTV) continues to trash McCain/Palin, and Obama’s numbers drop, more and more of the college kids and celebrity types will slink away because no one wants to be associated with a loser- the kids especially, most of them have zero attention span for anything that’s not “hot”.
anniekc on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
And Obama thinks I care what this putz thinks of my country?
ctmom on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
Why’s this a-hole in the country anyway? He’s been known to have a problem with drugs.
john1schn on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
This is going to go over so well in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in the middle of Amish country….where John McCain and Sarah Palin are today.
rockmom on September 8, 2008 at 11:49 AM
How much blow does this guy have to do in order to not cry when he looks in the mirror?
Pat Meebles on September 8, 2008 at 11:50 AM
Let him speak. He will benefit the GOP just like the Dixie Chicks. The more the Dems can be associated with the spoiled children on the Left the better.
