This is getting kind of crazy, isn’t it? First, we had the Penguin-Batman debate which so eerily and precisely predicted this week’s McCain-Obama debate.
And now, the whole lunatic McCain campaign of cheap stunts and dumb beauty queens is revealed to also be the exact script from the gay comedy show Batman, from 40 years ago when Bill Ayers blew up John McCain.
Oh, here’s the Second Part, about the Liberal Media, and, uh, the Jewelry Convention, which all the national media cover every year, in case of a robbery. Jesus, this show was a sack of failed shit, wasn’t it?

If John McCain gives Oswald Cobblepot’s speech from Batman Returns in a last-ditch effort to win the election, we’ll know the end is near. Hopefully Obama will interrupt it like Batman did.
I love that batman’s mirror has the batman symbol on it. That’s totally necessary.
Damn, that was good.
McCain should really listen to all Americans and rely on his tongue more.
More Tongue, John. America needs more TONGUE!

Irish cops- those were the days of blatant stereotypes!
But why does he open the umbrella at the debate? WHY?
I would guess that Barry has a much better package than Adam West. I would guess because I have no personal knowledge of either. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.
It appears to me that Commissioner Gordon is in the tank for Obama.
The numberless parallels between McCain and The Penguin are, eh, numberless. He waddles, he blusters, he was even wearing a fuckin’ tuxedo the other night. All he needs is a brolly and a cigarette holder.
I always admired Adam West’s Chola bat eyebrows…

I’ve heard rumors that Obama’s suit is also acid-proof. Another case of life imitating art.
All the way, Pengie! Shriveled balls to the walls!
The loyal Alfred was soooo doing Robin.
Dude, Ken, what are you talking about? I love this show! I was totally into Burt Ward when I was 10.
The Indian vote? In Gotham City? Gotham City had American Indians? What?
It was a joke, son!
“Western precinct?” Indians! Wild west Indians.
The show wasn’t a fail. It was campy social satire!! Yeah, that’s it!
Olbermann used a clip from this earlier in the week, too. As much as you guys rag on him, you do share a certain sensibility…
Haha. Acid proof tights. Just like Barry.

Burgess Meredith: Great Actor or GREATEST ACTOR OF ALL TIME?
I loved Batman, still do when I catch an episode (like today). I was totally hot for Robin (but those colors…ugh). Also, the Penguin was the best baddie (Cesar Romero had too much make-up on as the Joker). Thanks Wonkette for this stroll down memory lane and its’ topical tie-in to today’s news.

How about this one from memory lane? It has a habit of firmly lodging itself.

I voted for Squirrel Girl.
That was the best 15 minutes I have wasted in forever. Thank you, Ken Layne. You are truly a gawd among men.
Walter Klondike is in the TANK!
Jewelry Convention Bank Heist is the 1970s campy TV show equivalent of a 700 billion dollar bailout.
Oh my God, in the middle of the 2nd clip they have their very own Troopergate too. What the hell?
You cut our the Bat Butt Secks between Batman and Robin. I want my hot caped-crusader man action!
[re=139031]Juice-IL[/re]: It’s true! McCain’s suspension of his campaign was a total metaphor for Penguin ‘solving’ the Jewellery heist. Or the other way around. Either way, lessons were learned and America will never forget. Until next time.
[re=138907]Sproutz[/re]:
Yes! Campy social satire!! Especially — The Ambiguously Gay Duo!!
teehee!
[re=139031]Juice-IL[/re]: Walter Klondike is Alan Hale, Jr. We’ve got the wrong sitcom analogy: Walnuts is the Skipper and his adorable but incompetent sidekick Palin is Gilligan!
Oh, but wait! The reporter on the floor is Alan Ludden of Password! Another perfect analogy: Barry is . . . is; McCain . . . I got nothin’
Wait.I’m confused. I thought caped crusaders only fought Mooselems during the crazy crusades.
And wouldn’t the Batman be republican because he had a young ward to help him get into and out of his tights?
These clips are confusing the voters, Ken. No wonder there’s so many “undecideds’
The 3rd and last part is the best. Cliffhanger ending! 1968!

My only regret is that they didn’t use the POW!!! interstitial when pummeling Pengy.
[re=139010]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Watch part 3 to get the whole 22 minute episode.
I miss the good old days when you could spot a criminal by his bowler hat.
THIS TOWN NEEDS AN ENEMA!
That hand mirror with the batman logo fucking kills me. They shouldve had one of those in The Dark Knight.
Whoa, Don Wilson as “Walter Klondike”. I’m surprised he didn’t work in “Lucky Strike means fine tobacco” in there.
All those years watching Batman instead of doing my homework! Does Barrack wear tights and have an acid-proof cape and have a Butler named Alfred?
Is this Wonkette’s way of saying Ben Smith is a “waddling politico” ?
[re=138939]smellyal8r[/re]: I have an inappropriate knowledge of 60′s Batman trivia. My favorite is that Cesar Romero’s film career was so wash up by the time he was offered the part of the Joker he simply refused to shave his moustache. Camp was such that the producers did not object, and the make-up artist just puttied it flat with gobs of grease paint.
So, his too much make-up was necessary!
Did anyone notice the announcer talking about ‘goodies’? It’s like the twilight zone in here!
Crackk!!!!!!!!! BAMM! Bofffffffffff!!!!!!!!!
If Barrack is Batman, who is Robbin? That lady who said Hillary is a monster?
Robin will be introduced in 2012
joe biden = wonder midget?
I don’t get it – where’s the Penguin? That’s one fancy enormous button that McCain is wearing, guess it’s not about the size of his flag pin any more.
“Hold on a second while I dissolve these thongs.” Is that what he said? Barrack Obama also inundates and softens thongs, thereby making them more likely to dissolve, with or without acid (although dude you have to take acid at the Obama rally to get the full experience!). Yet another parallel!
