It's MSNBC's Democracy on Ice!!!!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls…don’t miss the excitement of a star-studded political show broadcast right into your home…

Live from the Rink at Rockefeller Center in New York…

MSNBC presents

DEMOCRACY ON ICE

The greatest political spectacular of 2008!

Featuring all the brightest stars of MSNBC in a brand-new, one-night-only performance!

Starring

DAVID GREGORY
His performance with dance partner MC Karl Rove gave you chills…now watch him perform spin after amazing Republican spin as the star performer of MSNBC’s Election Night Extravaganza!

KEITH OLBERMANN
Watch MSNBC’s silver-haired “Golden Boy” triple-axel his way over Republican and Democratic spinmeisters and even his fellow stars as the final count draws closer and the network prepares to project a winner! Top-notch entertainment for those scoring at home…or even if you’re alone!

CHRIS “TWEETY” MATTHEWS
Enjoy the laugh-filled shenanigans of Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes characters in a spotlight performance featuring the star of “Hardball” as Tweety Bird himself, with tittering tomfoolery and amusing antics created especially for kids…ages 2 to 92!!!!

RACHEL MADDOW
She’s as talented and tough as Tonya Harding—only without the legal issues! Watch this brilliant beauty bedazzle the brains of everyone on the MSNBC analysis panel with mental footwork no one else can match!

PAT BUCHANAN
Known as “The Human Blur,” the charter member of MSNBC’s “Boys in the Hood” will surprise and bemuse you in the dazzling white (and we DO mean "white") spotlight with his most incredible spins as he attempts to make the election outcome look positive for the Republicans…no matter what! Don’t miss his pairs performance with Rachel Maddow as she shows him how to stop skating around reality!

NORA O’DONNELL
She skates through statistics with the most graceful motion…don’t miss our lovely Princess of Pregnancy as she returns from maternity leave to break down the voter percentages. A charming performance with a winning smile every time!

2. Thanks. Too bad HALF THE CAST DIDN'T SHOW UP!!
Anyone else notice that NBC was NBC and MSNBC was MSNBC and neither the twain shall meet?? Unlike other times, when a big deal was made about how important it was for MSNBC to have visits from the Mothership to cement its advantage over other news channels, and we listened to Williams yammer and Brokaw ahemamahaw all night long? No more!!

Looks as if Someone (Mr. Brokaw????) has decided that it's best for the stars of NBC News not to be "tainted" by spending time with their redheaded bastard cousins over at MSNBC...betcha they wish they could banish 'em all back to Secaucus!!!! Too late now!!!!

Yet, despite all that...Boss Hijack Gregory allows Keith the honor of calling the election...how in the heck did that happen?!?!?

Not to mention, aside from Tweety's snarky lie about Obama going back on his funding promise and Keith trying to correct it, everyone was the soul of civility all night long. Keith said so many complimentary things about Joe Scarborough and the odious Mike Murphy (who actually behaved last night) that he sounded like Chip 'n' Dale. "Joe made an excellent point..." "You may have something there, Mike..." It was like he was bending over backwards to prove he's not the arrogant asshat everyone's trying to make him out to be, whose behavior supposedly contributed to Brokaw's "I don't want to be poisoned by the taint of MSNBC anymore" attitude.

In fact, no one got on my nerves seriously last night--aside from the completely outrageous jail-them-don't interview-them Ken Blackwell and Tom DeLay, who should not have been there at all--after they apparently had Pat Buchanan go to bed early so he wouldn't 'splode. Chuck Todd tried mightily to make it sound like a horse race, which was distressing, but after a while even he couldn't dress it up. Sorry, Chuck. This isn't gonna be 2000 again. Thank God.

I'm just glad it's over.
