Overexposed! Actor Paul Rudd takes on new role as real-life world leader?

Heh. Why indeed?

http://twitter.com/#!/TheDailyZack/status/349875742433218560

Snort! Twitter confusion emerged upon the news that Kevin Rudd has become Australia’s new prime minister.

http://twitter.com/#!/nycjim/status/349853395978424320

Kevin Rudd … actor Paul Rudd … same difference?

Perhaps the snark is understandable. Overexposed much?

Bada-zing!

This Twitter user is doubly confused.

Commentary pushes idea of Palin-Obama debate

http://twitter.com/#!/PATR2012/status/181450284755730432

Commentary via Yahoo:

After noting how the Obama promotion used her in an ad like she had been a political prospect, previous Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin challenged the president to a debate, “anywhere, anytime” in line with the Hill.

Man Activities thinks your idea of an Obama/Palin discussion is great. The theory is if Obama will treat Palin as though she were his governmental rival in an assault advertising, he might as well get entirely and satisfy the lady individual to discuss the problems for the time.

Naturally Obama will no further discussion Palin than he’d play a-one using one baseball game with her. She would beat him both in competitions.

The Palin haters, whoever only familiarity with what this woman is like originates from Julianne Moore’s caricature of the girl when you look at the HBO movie “Game Change,” will undoubtedly guffaw at the idea of anyone whom they consider a ditz rising against President Spock. The president’s campaign advisers aren’t among the list of individuals who believe this, if they are worth their particular wages. All anybody needs to do will be keep in mind how she took aside Joe Biden in 2008 debate as a grizzly bear takes apart its prey to acknowledge the risk Obama would face stepping into any arena together.

One of the sorrows of Palin not getting into the competition is the fact that US people will be denied the spectacle of your president being humiliated as a result of a Wasilla hockey mother. Such an event is far beyond their particular capacity to realize. For all of them it would be like Sheldon Cooper found Penny from across the hallway in a Physics Ball competition and gotten beat.

Obviously, if president or any one of his followers think this writer is wide for the level, after that allow the discussion take place. The absolute most effective male politician on the planet up against the most effective feminine politician on earth with, whilst not the presidency, at least bragging liberties given that prize.

We see a big pay-per-view possibility right here.

Then, they may be able race a marathon.

The idea will be somewhat ridiculous were it not too Obama is running against Palin once more this season. Or, at the least that’s just what their promotion ads advise.

Sarah Palin challenges Barack Obama to a discussion. In relevant development, I've challenged Lebron James to a-game of HORSE. http://t.co/w0rU6qDh

Barf.

Sorry, Mr. President. This is too little, too late.

If Obama were truly serious about taking action, he would’ve given Shinseki his pink slip a long time ago.
