Congressmen Caught Towel Dancing

WASHINGTON, D.C.
Two as yet unnamed Congressmen, one Republican, one Democrat. were caught after hours in the shower room of the Congressional gym, dancing naked to loud hip-hop music and whipping each other with wet towels.
They were discovered in the early hours of the morning by a janitor who thought he was hearing things, when he heard what he said sounded “like an old hip-hop classic called ” Bitch Betta Have My Money”, by a group named AMG”,  which was popular in 1991.
Lawyers for the Congressmen claim they were working overtime, …

Joe the Plumber Campaign Slogans

Samuel Wurzelbacher a.k.a “Joe the Plumber”– the symbolic working class hero of the 2008 McCain campaign – has made it through to the final round of the political tournament known as the race for a congressional seat in the state of Ohio (smooth move, Ohio). While he attempts to stretch his 15 minutes of fame into a solid 20, we here at National Lampoon thought we’d do him a kindness and assist him in the way we assist all our favorite candidates– with a few free campaign slogan suggestions.
So, without further …

Santorum's Google Problem

Rick Santorum has a problem.  And, in what is a terrible situation for a politician, the more popular he gets, the worse it becomes.  Santorum’s recent primary victories have generated a buzz around his campaign.  And this buzz has prompted more and more people to search for “Rick Santorum” on Google.  Which has then led to every one of these voters realizing:
 
If Rick Santorum had chosen to go by “Dick,” it would still be the least vulgar part of his name.
 
(Note to my Grandma: DO NOT Google “Santorum.”  Seriously.  Just …

GOP Candidate Campaign Playlists

President Barack Obama recently released his campaign playlist on Spotify, complete with songs from  many great artists like U2, Bruce Springsteen, and Wilco. So in an effort to appear more electable (and more “with it”) to the American public, the individual GOP candidates have decided to match the 44th Commander-in-Chief with their own list of tracks he enjoys while on the campaign trail. Take a look:
 

 
MITT ROMNEY
“Sharp Dressed Man”- ZZ Top
“For the Love of Money”- The O’Jays
“Born in the U.S.A” – Bruce Springsteen
“You’re Fired” – Bratmobile
“Battle Hymn of the Republic”- Mormon …

BREAKING NEWS: RICK SANTORUM'S SWEATER VEST ACTUALLY WON IOWA CAUCUS

WASHINGTON D.C.
In a major upset in a day of turmoil in the GOP nominating race, it was released today that Rick Santorum’s sweater vest was the actual winner in the Iowa Caucus edging out powerhouse Mitt Romney’s pearly white smile by 8 votes. With 131 precincts reporting, but with 3 losing all of their data and 14 forgetting entirely that this wasn’t in fact voting for this coming season of American Idol. It seems that the GOP is calling this race a ‘split decision’ and moving on to South Carolina. But with Rick Perry stepping down to …

Rick Perry's Last Stand

My fellow Amurkans, I’d like to take this opportunity to speak to you about the upcoming Carolina primary happening this January 20th or 21st or whenever. I know it’s on a Tuesday. Wait, according to my campaign manager it’s a Saturday. How come they’re always doing these votin’ things on a Tuesday and then out of the blue it’s on a Saturday? Somethin’ seems a little hinky, like they’re trying pull a fast one on ol’ Rick Perry.
Point is, things have not been going so well for Governor Rick on …
