This will only make sense if you're a DC Comics geek as well as a Washington, DC geek.
- Matthew: maybe I say this because people keep using the word crisis all the time, but I was just thinking "you know, it kinda feels like the United States is in the middle of a big crossover event right now"
- Sean: god help us!
- but you're right
- Matthew: it's that "everything at once" feeling
- Sean: it's the Final Crisis model where you've got the main thing, which is the election, and then all these tie-ins
- Matthew: "nothing will be the same again!"
- Sean: Financial Crisis
- Rage of the Red Staters
- Matthew: Rove's Revenge
- Sean: Palin of 3 Worlds
- Matthew: Obama Beyond In 3D
- Sean: LOL
- YES
- Matthew: McCain R.I.P.
- Sean: Right now he's the McCain of Zur-En-Arrh
- running around in a costume made of garbage bags, hitting the Senate Majority leader with a baseball bat
- "YOU'RE WRONG! MCCAIN AND PALIN WILL NEVER DIE!"
- Matthew: who is the Barry Allen of this?
- Sean: Dave Letterman
- Matthew: in an interstellar burst, Dave is back to save the universe
- ha, in retrospect, the run-up to all this was very much like Countdown To Final Crisis, wasn't it?
- Sean: Hillary, Mittens, and Rudy are no longer canon
- Matthew: Hillary got killed off like four times in a row
- and somehow they had to write out the part where Dennis Kucinich in a turtle costume single-handedly defeated McCain
- Sean: costume?
- Matthew: wasn't Jimmy Olsen Turtle Boy or something when that happened?
- Sean: no, I meant Dennis Kucinich is turtley enough as it is
- Matthew: snap
