Regrettably, owing to the fact that I'm headed shortly for an Obama event here in Pittsburgh, I'm going to miss this:
WASHINGTON (AP) -- They've talked a lot of smack. Now the presidential candidates are taking it to the ring. Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton have accepted an invitation to try to settle their long-running nomination fight primary on the World Wrestling Entertainment's popular "Monday Night Raw" program.
Follow the link to experience the full, cringe-inducing awfulness of both candidates, and John McCain, trying to sound as if they fit right in to the world of The Wild Samoans and Britain's very own Undertaker. No wrestling is involved, except insofar as viewers may wrestle with the urge to smite their own foreheads repeatedly with the horror of it all:
Clinton tells fans to call her "Hill-Rod," recites her agenda and promises to be "a president who will go to the mat for you."
Please, make it stop.
