Video: John McCain on SNL as “The True Maverick: A Republican Without Money”

John and Cindy McCain were hilarious last night on Saturday Night Live. In the video below, McCain teams up with Tina Fey in a QVC take-off that shows a much funnier side of McCain, who has always done surprisingly well on these shows, as the past clips below show.

I personally love the McCain “Fine Gold” ticket. This is a great opportunity for McCain to make last pitch for younger voters and it was very successful.

It was a bit surprising to see McCain participate in a video so mocking of Palin and her motives — particularly with polls showing that Palin may now cost McCain the election. Polls show between 53 and 58 percent of people view her as unqualified and not having the personal traits for a president. One recent poll also shows that most people do not agree with those “values” that she has insisted separate her from “‘folks in Washington.” The Palin choice now stands as one of the greatest blunders in modern political history — and one of the greatest gifts to comedy in the last century.
