We got mail:

I am surprised that "Acceptance of Homosexuality" and "Liberal Activist Judges" aren't on there.

I like how not -all- the boxes are checked, implying that this is a warning to be heeded and it's not too late. If there's a deadly gamma ray burst, I'll be sure to get in touch with this dude...Oh wait, he didn't leave a return address.

Top 10 Political YouTube Videos

Ben Yelin — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 01:07:26 EDT

Get those headphones out if you're at work, it's time to enjoy some of the finest political videos YouTube has to offer:

10. Hillary sings the National Anthem (http://youtube.com/watch?v=bfZ_gXCHaMw). This one cracks me up so much. She doesn't realize the mic is on, and is singing so far out of tune, it is deafening. She sounds somewhere between a prepubescant boy and someone with a very bad cold.

9. Macaca (http://youtube.com/watch?v=r90z0PMnKwI) This video arguably won the Senate for the Democrats. It solidfied the role of YouTube in politics. It's also particularly funny because of how ironic it is (ie "we will run this debate on positive ideas")

8. Pelosi response to Hastert (http://youtube.com/watch?v=nU2U7_X4AA0). This just proves how hilarious Pelosi is when she plays the "attack dog." Hastert says she wants to coddle terrorists, and she calls him a "desperate man."

7. Colbert Speech (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qa-4E8ZDj9s) I know it has become a bit cliche, but this speech was a lesson in awkwardness, as Colbert shocked a crowd of political insiders, and insulted the President to his face. What a moment.

6. Some Jokes on the 2006 Electoin (http://youtube.com/watch?v=eEHUNObzVsg) Nothing special about this, but a compilation of comedy on the last election.

5. Olbermann's Brilliance (http://youtube.com/watch?v=x43H2-KSvoI) This was his first of many "Special Comments" and it is just set such a good tone, just a biting serious commentary and a great understanding of history.

4. Jim Webb Victory Speech (http://youtube.com/watch?v=-akgu0W2k0Y) This guy is just so blunt, which makes him fun to watch.

3. Obama Girl (http://youtube.com/watch?v=wKsoXHYICqU) I hate to say it, but I think this is really funny.
2. CSPAN Highlights: These are a couple of videos directly from the House, the first of which is when the Republicans started screaming about a vote earlier this month, the second of which is spoiled brat Patrick McHenry being schooled on House procedure by the great Barney Frank.

1. Pelosi calls Conservatives "Thieves" in Biting Attack(http://youtube.com/watch?v=O-syWbnIPjE) Knowing me, you know that I would choose my favorite politician. This is the best example of putting Conservatives in their place.
