  1. Did anyone notice when they show the #10, 9, 8 etc the right side of the bar moves up a bit and then back down? Is this just this episode, or all of them? Or am I imagining things?

  2. There was a big one that youtube tried to delete a few times of Obama when he was running. The Interviewer said, “Tell me about your faith.” He said, “My Muslim faith is… uhh….” and the interviewer cut him off and said, “You mean your ‘christian’ faith, right?'” Obama said, “Oh… umm yeah…” (lol not like there’s a difference? Right?) … oh boy.

  3. The problem with Sarah Palin, she never knew she was embarrassing herself or she would blame it on someone else.

  4. Wait no Kelly Csllswsy, Sean Spicer? com eon the Bowling green Massacre is a classic already 😛

  5. Watch Mojo is a bunch of left wing morons who are so biased it’s unreal. this lady narrator is the most annoying one of the bunch.
