I hope that they don't vote. That was so embarrassing. Out poor country is dying due to politically uneducated masses.

they just dont care.

My daughter is smart, got great grades and is in college. She knows quite a bit about politics because she has to listen to my rants, but we cant seem to get her to even register to vote. She says many of her friends are the same way----college students.

On election day, I'm gonna have her see if many kids on campus are wearing the "I voted " stickers.

I probably would have been included and made fun of, too.

You know they cut out everybody who said vice president, right?

And he is mean-spirited in much of his humor. A guy who closed his intentionally sexist and un-PC show every night with "girls on trampolines" now complains that some people, which seems via editing like more, don't know who Joe Biden is.

I will know we have reached full Idiocracy when Kimmel is hosting "Ow My Balls!"

interview a lot of people before finding enough clueless ones to make this a "funny" bit.
