Dan Abrams

On Friday's episode of the "Verdict with Dan Abrams" MSNBC rolled out a montage of the best political parodies of this year's candidates. Internet hits such as SNL's debate sketch, Obama girl, and "It's Raining McCain" all made the cut.

Let us know which ones you think are the best and if there are other great parodies that have been cruelly overlooked.

I hadn't seen the Huckabee one--that's hilarious--but I was surprised that John.He.Is didn't get mentioned. I think it's one of the best. In fact, all of their videos are pretty good.

Dan Abrams has become as rificulous as the rest of the MSNBC TV entertainment pundits. He is a vivid example of a wasted education.

I hope Americans do not put value in this poop while Americans children are being killed a very long way from home. Bring them home first.

Here's my candidate mash-up:

McCain: "My friends, I am writing my Presidential Thesis on this Rand typewriter."

Clinton: "I just think that a Presidential Thesis should be written with extensive experience with MS-DOS"

Obama: "Yeah, I fired this thing off my Mac laptop. It's going viral on YouTube, FaceBook and MySpace"

who's the other Obama imprersonator? he's way better than Fred Armisen -- i was going to guess it was MADtv but it seems they haven't had a new episode recently.

Here is an AP story from March 1996. One of the posts she visited was quite dangerous.
-------------------
...She did visit two outposts outside of the base camp in Tuzla without
the celebrities there for the USO tour.

Protected by sharpshooters, Hillary Rodham Clinton swooped into a
military zone by Black Hawk helicopter Monday to deliver a personal
"thank you, thank you, thank you" to U.S. troops.
...
But this was a day of celebration and celebrities - a day for the U.S.
troops helping to uphold the Bosnian peace accord. Mrs. Clinton hosted
a USO show with comedian Sinbad and singer Sheryl Crow and briefly
addressed the gathering.
...
But the highlight of her trip were visits to two fortified posts
outside the U.S. base in Tuzla. Even President Clinton, restricted to
the base by bad weather in January, did not see as much of this
war-wracked region as Mrs. Clinton did Monday.
...
Riflemen rushed to the brush line as the helicopter landed and
surrounded her as she walked into the post. Located in a "separation
zone," the U.S. outpost nestles between two tree lines. Just months
ago, one was Serbian territory, the other Bosnian.

Security was tight - fighter jets accompanied her C-17 cargo plane to
Tuzla - but officials said the first lady took no extraordinary risks
on the trip.

So which was it, the security was tight or she took no extraordinary risks? Sounds like John McCain in the Green Zone saying how it was just like a walk in the park--all the while wearing a flack jacket and being surrounded by more security than the president.

The video "No, You Can't" is a pretty funny parody featuring John McCain.
