Iowa Considers Raincoat Law for Politicians.

(Cat raincoat photo from) Cats.Picturesarehere.com

Iowa is considering a new law that would require all politicians appearing in their state to do so in a yellow raincoat with matching yellow hoodie. "We don't want to be known as the state of perpetual presidential politicking", noted one local official who requested anonymity.

The proposed Iowa yellow raincoat law would require any politician with presidential aspirations to wear the yellow raincoat, (with matching yellow hoodie), the entire time they are in Iowa if their appearance is earlier than 18 months before the next presidential election.

"The law serves a dual purpose," another local official who also requested anonymity, explained,"Iowan's are starting to get a bit embarrassed, and annoyed, by the constant flow of presidential wannabees who come into our state four years before the next election looking for a handout, er support for their presidential run. The Raincoat law identifies a political candidate to Iowans AND it protects the candidate from the elements, you know, thrown tomatoes, lemons, oranges"...

What the anonymous local Iowa officials declined to mention is the yellow raincoat law's best feature, any politician wearing the yellow raincoat (and matching hoodie), who claims to just be passing through the state, won't win very many votes.

NBC BANS Saturday Night Live CSPAN Spoof featuring George Soros lookalike and friends, Link to video can be found here.

(Edit update - Feb. 03, 2010 Read the Transcript of the Saturday Night Live George Soros skit by clicking here. I transcribed it myself so please link to it rather than just copying it as it took a while to do.)


The link above automatically downloads a wav file to your computer so don't click on it if you don't want it on your computer. I downloaded it with no problems.

The Saturday Night Live CSPAN Bailout spoof video clip has been removed by NBC. I consider this bait and switch. Garner great ratings from political material, then pretend it never happened. I stumbled upon a gracious entity who understands the importance of preserving political art and that is why you can download it at the link provided above. If you download the video the George Soros piece is in the final 90 seconds, however I don't think you can fast forward the video to the final 90 seconds.

This is just a video still image from the Saturday Night live CSPAN Spoof so clicking on it will not turn it into a video, NBC made sure of that.

Check out the caption in this image from the Saturday Night live CSPAN of the Bailout and George Soros. If you download the video the George Soros piece is in the final 90 seconds, however I don't think you can fast forward the video to the final 90 seconds.
