Just this very minute, I realized that for the last couple months I haven't been watching a politcal election – I've been watching one extended Looney Tune cartoon. One starring Barack Obama as the Roadrunner, and John McCain as Wyle E. Coyote.

Give it a minute. At first you'll think, "Nah, that's not…yeah, that's pretty perfect." Roadrunner

Imagine Wyle E. McCain trying to crush Obama with a boulder labeled Acme Celebrity Crusher. All looks terrible for the Obamarunner, who is just cruising down the highway at his own hyper-velocity. McCain pushes the boulder. It hovers in midair while Obama speeds past. Then it falls, bounces, and comes back to land on poor McCain's head. Obama stops long enough to say, "Meep meep!" and off he goes again.

It's especially amusing if you imagine all of Sarah Palin's clothes bearing the label, "Acme Vice Presidental Running-Mate." Because, as anyone who watches these cartoons knows, Acme products always backfire on their user.

Meep meep!
