Transcript:
Chris Matthews: There it is again, Keith - that thrill going up my leg! Keith Olbmerman: Well, as Obama approaches the podium, it's probably going up 75,000 legs, Chris.. wait a minute... what the heck is that? Matthews: It's a skydiver, Keith! Looks like he's going to land right in the middle of the field! Boopsie: My gosh... Olberman: It's... it's Bill Clinton, Chris! Boopsie: Oh, no! Ignore him, Barack! Zonker: How?
Grokenstein: You’ve got a point.
But I give Trudeau credit for going out on a limb; some comics (see Prickly City this week, or Blondie last week with the Olympics) would make everything so vague that you couldn’t catch them out, no matter what happened.
(Although even then, surprises are possible. See Boondocks from 2000 November.)
