   > Terrible LaBamba Acting: MTV shuts down   
   > Total Request Live.  No trombone music?   
      
   This recurring bit -- in which someone looks up and screams "Nooooo" into   
   the camera -- has never been all that funny for me, and this one in   
   particular went about two "Nooooo"s too far.   
      
   > 	Max's thoughts on Sarah Palin.  She's sexy.  (I still don't see   
   > it.)   
      
   I don't either, at least not to the extent that he implied, but of all the   
   outrageously lewd monologues that Max has delivered over the years, this   
   was one of the best.   
      
   Consider the context: Palin has been called America's Hottest Governor.   
   Images of Palin's face Photoshopped onto a pinup's body have spawned on the   
   Internet. McCain's campaign has complained about Palin being portrayed in a   
   sexist manner. And, as Conan said, celebrities have been criticizing the   
   Palin choice to anyone who will listen.   
      
   All of which made Max's faux-patriotic, uber-sexist monologue even more   
   potent. The best lines came at the end of the speech, with the American   
   flag unfurled behind him:   
      
   "Our boys, our brave soldiers, died at Bunker Hill so that we could   
   celebrate the unwritten rule of valuing a woman's good looks over God,   
   country, and family. The America I know wins by judging a book by its   
   cover, not reading the inside like some communist! Celebrities should stick   
   to what they're good at, making vapid Hollywood tripe, and let voters like   
   me focus on putting tappable ass back into the halls of Washington."   
      
   > Martha Stewart:   
   > No mention of her MST3K ripoff.   
      
   Huh? Please explain.   
      
   > Harland Williams:   
      
   Harland is always good, but was zanier than usual this time. "Barack-oli   
   with cheese sauce"?
