As is former Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

The following clip is not so much funny as in ha-ha-ha, to me, but it certainly rates in terms of ‘car-crash’ awkwardness of the highest scale. Yay!

Watching McCain and Palin and their cast of Republican cronies dance Bollywood style is nothing short of mesmerizing… there is something about the McCain character with his shock of white hair and white teeth moving so… actually to me he looks like a Thunderbird cast member… the understudy guy never called off the bench… and Palin, so stiff with the glasses and the red jacket and Alaskan bravado…. ummm I have a confession to make.

Look I’d consider myself fairly centralist but her politics and world outlook are just not my cup of tea…. she kinda verges into right wing nutjobbery and the gun culture she supports, ‘meh…. but… she is… kinda… strangely… sexy.

And Tina Fey’s version of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live is marvelous… and together... oh lordy lordy lordy lord. Kinda sexy in a very awkward pit-dog way.

oh…. and I just love Bollywood numbers… just on a larger more co-ordinated scale… with easy on the eye Indians… and the noticeable absence of major political parties of any persuasion. And… McCain/Palin free.

* Watching McCain in this clip being so enthusiastically supported by his guys in suites… I now have another thing to add to my ‘if I won a mega-lottery’ to-do list. I’d hire a collection of bizoid types to dance around me for a whole day. At home, at the office, in the car. Yup – this very much appeals to my sense of the absurd.

…and of course it would be increasingly annoying for those around me which is always a nice little bonus.

Hmm it would have to be on a day featuring Poker night with the Midnight. Heh’.
