Drama Llama - Politics Wahey! Round 2
FAITO!
It's time for another Drama Llama round-up of political whatsits. Let's get right to it.
Palin for President!
As GamePolitics quips, "finally, a Sarah Palin game that's not a shooter." Palin as President is a web-based search-and-point-and-click good for killing at least five minutes of your day.
Quoth Political Irony's preview of the game:
Can you:
- summon Joe the Plumber?
- torture Katie Couric?
- uncover the nuclear codes?
- get Palin to say “something-stan” and “cactus-stan”?
- find all five people Palin calls mavericks?
Well that's just gosh-darn interestin' stuff.
Play: Palin as President
Political Metaphor Showdown
If that wasn't enough for you, GamePolitics also reports today on a new video (via gagfilms.com) which finally settles the debate of who is the superior vehicle for political rhetoric: Joe the Plumber vs. Joe Sixpack, Mortal Kombat Style.
The surprise ending may shock you!

I don't know about you guys, but I think that something's really fucked up when your campaign revolves around some random dude for a few days, and that said dude is the media's new bitch. Is there any real debate about real issues in the US? I've hard a hard time to find any, quite frankly.
