Some of the things I forgot about, like Vikki Iseman..the one picture of her that they always show makes me crack up. Just her expression seems so hilarious, I can't describe it. I loved the inclusion of the bitter-gate with the text blowing up "BITTER. RELIGION. GUNS", in the text, just to make the point, haha. I forgot about Reagan-gate too.


There were a couple things that I think should have been included (the clip was long enough already, so I understand why it was edited like that. Just things that I would have liked to have been included).

-Bill Richardson's "I've negotiated hostage situations more civil than this" comment in the debate, just because I think it was funny-actually, more on the primary candidates who dropped out early in general. Biden's 9/11 comment was good, maybe the Edwards haircut should have been included just because that was a ridiculous "gate"

-more on the nastiness of the South Carolina debate between both candidates vs the lovey doviness of the candidates in the next debate in LA (plus screen shots from random celebrities in the audience)

-- Canada "nafta-gate" and Mark Penn "colombia-gate"

-- they skipped over the 11 primaries that Obama won in a row, but they also skipped over Kentucky and West Virginia for that matter, I guess. I think the 11 primaries that Obama won is just helpful to the narrative. I guess the Kentucky and W Virginia ones could be helpful to the narrative of "This guy can't close the deal!"

-- monster-gate, just bc the media litereally salivated over that and had an "update" every 10 minutes.


- the clip of Chris Matthews asking the Obama supporter to name some of Obama's legislative accomplishment, with the supporter doing an EPIC FAIL on live tv (I'm an Obama supporter, but the guy should have been better prepared).

- a clip of the Saturday Night Live show on alleged media bias, with the clip of Hillary Clinton's "pillow" comment at the debate.
