Vince McMahon Helps Wife’s Campaign By Emptying His Colon On Blumenthal Sign In WWE Skit

video
» 43 comments

In a bid to get out the sixth grade vote everywhere, Linda MicMahon’s husband, Vince, employed some subtle political humor during a skit on last night’s Monday Night Raw. Of course, when I say “subtle political humor,” I instead mean that he made poop faces while wearing a diaper with his wife’s opponent’s name on it. If McMahon wins in Connecticut tonight, we can only hope that this kind of…attack ad doesn’t become prevalent.

In defense of both McMahons, no one’s expecting Daily Show-level satire from Monday Night Raw (Thursday night’s SmackDown, on the other hand, is typically written with the subtlety of a young Jonathan Swift). Besides, the first half of the bit actually is genuinely funny. In it, Vince wakes up from a coma only to discover that, to his horror, his wife has spent $50 million on a Senate campaign. We’ve all been there. Unfortunately, the humor then quickly heads for the toilet. Oh, well.

Side note: McMahon’s doctor in the skit is played by none other than prom-queen makeoverer, Freddie Prinze Jr. Any of our readers watch professional wrestling and want to explain to me how on earth that happened?

    The sign is also a stand in for Prinze’s career. Is this what happens when professional homo-eroticism enters politics?

    You stay classy, Vince.

    “In defense of both McMahons, no one’s expecting Daily Show-level satire from Monday Night Raw”

    If by “Daily Show-level satire” you mean dick jokes and non-sequitur comedy, then yeah I guess so. The value in the Daily Show is the little story graphics, that’s about it. The rest of the bunch are nothing but useless hacks.

    Blumenthal Sign in wwe

  • Kitsune

    I’m suddenly very thankful that I don’t live in Connecticut, so I can have some level of disconnect from this particular race.

    Poop faces? Where id ya get that? He made faces but looked at if he was going to vomit, not poop.

    Get out of the gutter . And that was not a diaper- it was a towel!

    I guess you just like to make things up since you are going to be crying tonight.

  • TravisOsterhout

    I know the reason Freddy Prinze Jr. is on WWE, he was actually a writer for a while on their “SmackDown” show for a while. He left about a year ago to focus back on acting. I dont watch the show anymore after Shawn Michaels and HHH went off TV.

  • ampleforth

    Well, what do you expect from the WWE founder?

    The class of the McMahons is matched only by the class of the reactionary conservatives commenting here. Gutter snipes flock together, too, apparently.

    Do you mean like the ad the NAAliberalCP ran claiming that black churches would burn if Republicans won?

    GOP – Immediately move to revoke the tax-exempt status of the Democratic NAAliberalCP!

    These groups – NAAliberalCP, NPR, ACLU, etc. – are blatantly partisan, and should have their exempt status revoked. Then revoke the mail-order-reverend scams of left-wing political operations such as Rev. Wright’s “church”!

  • notsofast

    Oh,and libs, if it was about poop and you have a problem with the sketch, remember:

    1. It was a joke; sarcasm
    2. It was taken out of context
    3. Everyone does it
    4. What’s wrong with bodily functions?
    5. He was just making fun of lib sketches

  • NORBIT

    You show them Mr. McMahon; and as for all you RINO’s that sneak in, “Go get your shine boxes”, because today Real Conservatives take charge of the country!

  • The Real Royal King

    I should think this really turned on David Vitter.

    Well, as the Tea Partiers always say, He’s Just Like Us.

    Oh boy, more crazed, tea-bagger violence!

    Man Arrested In Campaign Sign Knife Attack

    COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A Marietta man was arrested Monday after he attacked a state senator’s campaign manager in a scuffle over campaign signs, Cobb County police said.

    Around 10 a.m., a man was spotted stealing campaign signs outside the Powder Springs campaign headquarters for Georgia state Senate District 33 candidate Craig Prewett, according to campaign news release. The headquarters, on Austell Powder Springs Road, is based out of the home of Edwin Lamour, Prewett’s campaign manager.

    Lamour walked out of his front doors and confronted the man, who replied, “You shouldn’t be voting for this Craig Prewett fellow, you should vote for Steve Thompson,” said Prewett’s spokesman John Harris. Lamour said he followed the man across the street, where the man began pulling signs out of Prewett’s front yard.

    Lamour told Channel 2’s Ross Cavitt that when he told the man to stop, the man pulled out a knife and “lunged at him.” Lamour said he screamed, and his brother, Edgar Lamour, and Prewett rushed to help him.

    The three got into a car and chased the accused attacker, who had sped off in a pickup truck, Lamour said. They followed him through residential areas, and the man nearly hit someone at Powder Springs Elementary School, where a bus driver called the police, Harris said.

    When Cobb County police arrived, the man was arrested on charges of aggravated assault and felony theft. Officers told Cavitt he ranted anti-Republican rhetoric throughout the process.

    But, you’re changing the topic, Michelle-in-Utah. What of these Republicans/Tea Partiers with their poo fetishes? Do you endorse them?

    I did like the Kansas robocalls to Democratic voters telling them that they had to have proof of home ownership to vote. Probably paid for by the Rove and Gillespie Chinese and terrorist money funneled through the C of C to suppress voting.

    I know you’ve been having trouble coming up with anything to match the Miller thugs handcuffing and wrongfully imprisoning the reporter or the Paul thugs knocking down a petite young lady and stomping on her head. This doesn’t match, either. Bad conduct, to be sure, but nothing rising to the level of Tea Partier thuggery and violence, or even the poop sketch.

  • Seeing November From My Window

    So chasing someone with a knife doesn’t constitute thuggery to you, King!? No wonder you named your cat after FDR. I’m beginning to see how your mind works.

    Roosevelt was wheelchair-bound, Michelle-in-Utah. Who is it he chased with a knife? This is very cruel.

  • writer

    The King named his cat after FDR because he admired the xenophobic and racist way he put American citizens in camps based solely on their race.

    I thought you’d be uncomfortable answering that. Do you often make jokes at the expense of the handicapped and disabled?

  • writer

    King, you’ve never answered why you named the cat after FDR. Was it because you agree with being xenophobic and racist?

  • Seeing November From My Window

    I thought you’d be uncomfortable answering that. Do you often make jokes at the expense of the handicapped and disabled?

    Are you for real! What I said had NOTHING to do wit the fact that he was in the wheel chair. I was just commenting on your choice of who to name your cat after, not that FDR chased people around in his wheel chair. Let me know if I need to dumb it down further for you.

  • writer

    There’s no way on earth you can dumb it down enough for the King. But he’s still a racist xenophobe.

    Not only chased them down, but was brandishing a knife in one hand. Rather incredulous, Michelle-in-Utah.

    Here’s another knife-wielding story I thought you might enjoy, Michelle-in-Utah, although the knife-wielder was not wheelchair-bound.

    Why that’s terrible, King. Such people should be locked in camps, right?

    This is going to be a very interesting night — lots of stuff going on, but mediaite is stuck on 2012 rather than 2010.

    Palin hasn’t announced, so why in God’s green earth do these reporters keep asking about her? It’s just too darn funny.

    Watch for some unexpected upsets, some that will drive mediaite berzerk.

    You do realize she is already locked up? In prison?

    Are you blind?

    what part of “I’ve got to go…” and “stand back, I’m going to blow” not to mention “I’m not going to make it” did you miss?

    I think it was a poster…

    On another note, I’d say it’s pretty standard for WWE to make reference to current events in their shows. keeps them relevant.

    Freddie Prinze Jr has had a relationship with WWE for the past couple years. He’s made a few on-air appearances and worked behind-the-scenes. Last month it was reported that he’s back with WWE producing and directing. You can check out his Wikipedia page for more info.

    Did you actually watch the skit? Diaper?

    While truly “out there”, it was NOT him making fun of Blumenthal nearly as much as McMahon was commenting on the Political process.

    You have to give him credit for one thing – he COULD have simply made it all about Linda, but unlike many, he gave equal time to the opponent.
