The Roast at Alfred E Smith Memorial Dinner

[Jet Gorgon]

This is excellent. Both candidates are brill.



Oh, the McC speech was cut off. Here's the second half in full.

Nice one Jet. I guess I'm just a Libtard, but I think it a very civilised tradition that in the midst of the election fray, the Pollies can take a night off, relax, and poke fun at themselves and each other. All for a good cause too.

The roast, which raised $3.9 million to help underprivileged children, is dedicated to the memory of former Democratic New York Gov. Al Smith, the first Catholic to win the presidential nomination of a major political party, who lost to Republican Herbert Hoover in 1928, 444 electoral votes to 87.

Political Punch

^ Thanks, didn't know that info.
I just think it was a brilliant evening, with lots of self-deprecation, jabs and good fun with of course a political agenda.
