Stevie Wonder was the first of two surprises led to the Pauley Pavilion floor by Michelle Obama at yesterday's Get Out the Vote for Obama Rally. After a short explanation of his history as a Clinton supporter turned Obama believer, Wonder led the crowd in a rather difficult vocal exercise based on the candidate's name (see video below).

Maria Shriver netted worldwide headlines by punctuating Obama's weekend "surge" in the polls with a surprise endorsement.


Go ahead, we dare you to sing along at the 1-minute mark

#1: "I have here in my hand an order to quietly off a certain butch female senator from New York... who wants the first shot? Any takers?"

#2: "Just because I'm married to a Republican governor doesn't mean I can't support someone els-- what? Oh, hi honey."

 

#2: "Are you there God, it's me, Maria. Shriver. Of the Kennedys. Right. Okay, so, I'm just checking in to make sure you'll still let me in and all, since I'm publicly affiliating myself with a Democrat today and no longer shaming the family. Just disregard that whole married-to-a-McCain-endorser thing. Thanks. Uh, amen."

 

#1: "Damn..she smells"

#2:"OMG...can you believe how many people are here?"


vote ron paul. everything else is just part of a movie.

 

Here's hoping #1 above doesn't get you a visit from the Secret Service.
