John McCain and Barack Obama roast each other at the annual Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner held in New York City.
This post was deleted for the following reason: It was a close match, but I'm awarding it to the other post on points. Good fight, gentlemen. -- cortex
I liked McCain the last time he was on SNL more.

In fact, he even has a pet name for me: George Bush
Ok, that was pretty funny.
I really regret that this event wasn't held in 2004, because I think Kerry could have done some great deadpan material.

I just read a transcript of Obama's speech and came here to find one of McCain's. So I find only videos instead of transcripts, but there are not one, but two posts! I knew metafilter wouldn't let me down! :)

I get the feeling that Hillary is laughing because it's all she can do to not rip McCains head off.

Phew, McCain looks like a petulant brat while Obama is speaking. My sense of the world is restored.

McCain stumbled over so many of his words, simple words. But it was a nicely written riff.

Am I the only one who at first glance read this as the Alfred E. Newman Memorial Foundation Dinner?

No, and a brief moment the world was a better place.
