From SNL tonight:
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN โ โGood evening, my fellow Americans, Iโm John McCain.
TINA FEY AS GOV. SARAH PALIN โ โAnd, you know, Iโm just Sarah Palin.โ
MCCAIN โ โThe final days of any election are the most essential. This past Wednesday, Barack Obama purchased airtime on three major networks. We, however, can only afford QVC.โ
FEY AS PALIN โ โThese campaigns sure are expensive. (She strokes the rich fabric of her jacketโs lapel)
MCCAIN โ โThey sure are. So tonight, we come before you to give you some final remarks on our campaign.โ
FEY AS PALIN โ โAnd, as part of our agreement with the QVC folks, weโre gonna try and sell you some stuff.โ
MCCAIN โ โThis has been an historic campaign, so why not remember it with our line of collectible products. Such as ten commemorative plates that celebrates the ten Town Hall debates between Senator Obama and myself. Theyโre blank, he wouldnโt agree to those debates. Too bad. Theyโre still nice plates.
FEY AS PALIN โ โAnd who wouldnโt want the complete set of limited edition โJoeโ action figures? Thereโs โJoe the Plumber,โ โJoe Six-Pack,โ and my personal favorite, โJoe Biden.โ If you pull this cord, he talks for forty-five minutes.
(SHE pulls cord)
JASON SUDEIKIS AS SEN. BIDEN (O.C.) โ โI take the Amtrak to work every day. Then โ after work โ I take it home. Let me tell you something about Joe Bidenโฆโ
MCCAIN โ โItโs great if you want to clear out a party.โ
FEY AS PALIN โ โOr keep deer out of your yard.โ
MCCAIN โ โBut weโre not just here to sell products. Weโre here with a message. We are at a crossroads in American history. The leadership of the next four years will have many challenges and I believe my experience and my leadership will make a difference.
FEY AS PALIN โ โAlso too โ sorry โ I need to remind you that there are just two minutes left in our โWashington outsider jewelry extravaganza.โโ
MCCAIN โ โAre you someone who likes fine jewelry and also respects a politician who can reach across the aisle? If so, you canโt go wrong with McCain Fine Gold.
(CINDY MCCAIN displays the โMcCain Fine Goldโ like a game show model)
MCCAIN (CONTโD) โ โIt commemorates the McCain Feingold Act โ and also looks great with evening wear. Thank you, Cindy.โ
FEY AS PALIN โ โAnd what busy hockey mom wouldnโt want to freshen up her home with Sarah Palinโs โAyers Fresheners.โ You plug these into the wall when something doesnโt quite smell quite right. Also too, itโs good because it reminds people about William Ayers.โ
MCCAIN โ โHaving trouble cutting through a tough piece of pork? Not anymore, with John McCainโs complete set of pork knives. โThey Cut The Pork Out!โโ
FEY AS PALIN โ โSo instead of going to one of those elite department stores with their liberal agendas and over-priced items and their gotcha return policies that violate your First Amendment rights, why not do your holiday shopping with us? (SHE turns to a different camera) Okay, listen up everybody, I am goinโ rogue right now so keep your voices down. Available now, we got a bunchaโ these โPalin in 2012โฒ T-shirts. Just try and wait until after Tuesday to wear โem okay? Because Iโm not goinโ anywhere. And Iโm certainly not goinโ back to Alaska. If Iโm not goinโ to the White House, Iโm either runninโ in four years or Iโm gonna be a white Oprah so, you know, Iโm good either way.โ
MCCAIN โ โWhatโs going on over there, Sarah?โ
FEY AS PALIN โ โOhโฆjust talkinโ about taxes.โ (SHE winks)
MCCAIN โ โLook, would I rather be on three major networks? Of course, but Iโm a true maverick โ a Republican without money. And Iโm not like my opponent; my only showbiz connections are Jon Voight and Heidi from โThe Hills.โ So, Iโm here on QVC, and like QVC, this campaign promises you three things: quality, value and convenience.โ
FEY AS PALIN โ โAnd great deals on juicers.โ
MCCAIN โ โSo when you go to the polls on Tuesday remember, โCountry First,โ as a reminder all undergarments are non-refundable and Live from New York, itโs Saturday Night!!!
***McCainโs โstrategiesโ for the final days of the campaign from โWeekend Update follow below:
SETH MEYERS โ โWith the election only three days away, most polls show Barack Obama leading John McCain by a slight margin. Here to comment on his campaign strategy, Senator John McCain.โ
SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN โ โThank you Seth. You know, a lot can happen in three days. And while I am confident that we will emerge victorious, Iโm also considering a few radical last-minute strategies.โ
MEYERS โ โNew strategies, like what?
SEN. MCCAIN โ โWell you know how people call me โthe maverickโ
MEYERS โ โYeah.โ
SEN. MCCAIN โ โWell, I thought Iโd try a strategy called the โReverse Maverick.โ Thatโs where I do whatever anybody tells me. I donโt ask questions โ I just go with the flow. If that doesnโt work, I go to the โDouble Maverick.โ Thatโs where I go totally berserker and just freak everybody out. Even the regular mavericks.โ
MEYERS โ โThat doesnโt sound like the best strategy.โ
SEN. MCCAIN โ โIt isnโt. And hereโs another bad one. Itโs called โThe Sad Grandpa.โ Thatโs where I get on TV and go, โCโmon, Obamaโs gonna have plenty of chances to be President! Itโs my turn! Vote for me!โโ
MEYERS โ โYeah, I donโt know if Iโd do that.โ
SEN. MCCAIN โ โOk, then hereโs a good one. Itโs called โThe Charleston.โ Thatโs where I only campaign in Charleston, South Carolina. Really lock it down. Meet every single resident three or four times. Or how about โThe Forrest Gump.โ Thatโs where I just start jogging across America and eventually everything works out.
MEYERS โ That might work.
SEN. MCCAIN โ โOr maybe โThe Rocky IV.โ I live alone in the wilderness and pull a sled through the snow until Iโm in peak physical condition.โ
MEYERS โ โHow would that help you win an election?โ
SEN. MCCAIN โ โIt wonโt. But if I ever have to fight Vladimir Putin, Iโll be ready.โ
MEYERS โ โAlright, well if you had to choose one strategy in the remaining days, what would it be?โ
SEN. MCCAIN โ โSeth, my basic strategy is the one Iโve stuck with since I started this campaign: connect with the voters, talk with them honestly about the issues, and stand by my record of service to this great country.โ
MEYERS โ โAnd if that doesnโt work?โ
SEN. MCCAIN โ โProbably the โDouble Maverick.โโ
MEYERS โ โSenator John McCain everyone!โ
Video to come here. Though itโs the Olbermann skit I missed Iโll be watching.
