    This is really funny! Pretty much a satire of any politico who got their hand caught in the cookie jar/tax jar/strange vagina jar.

    There’s an hd version if you click through to youtube. Someone has screwed up the display ratio though, everyone is squat.

    And oh yeah Mike’s wife is still hot.

    Well, Suck Tard, you apparently need to brush up on your literary allusions. His comment was in reference to The Portrait of Dorian Gray, in which a man stays young forever while a painting of him ages instead.

    Therefore, it was a compliment.

    As someone said, the dumb bacon stunt may have just been a means to get to this bit. If so it was worth it. Very funny (and timely) skit and it was cool to see the entire Nelson clan for the first time. :) Bridget looked mighty fetching and her dress was vaguely Jackie O which added to the skit even more.

    “My eleven year old son.”

    “I’m fifteen.” lol

    Funny stuff. I miss seeing Mike doing skits.

    So, was the whole bacon stupidity month just a hoax? If so, did he punk his local TV news station? Good job to him, if that’s the case!

    Well done. It looks as if Bridget and Mike passed the cuteness and talent genes down to those sons of theirs.

    As for Mike being bacon-less, I guess Lent had something to do with it?

    Everyone’s so distracted by the hotness of Bridget Jones (I admit, understandable). But let’s give some credit to Mike for this great line:

    “If you were offended, then I am sorry… that your standards are such that even the smallest deviations from perfection would cause offense.”

  35. I agree with the poster who said if the whole bacon bit was done to lead up to this it was worth it.

    Leaving aside Mike’s wife (can some of you teenage geeks just grow up and get a life, or at least a girlfriend? And, yes, she’s smokin’ hot!) I kind of hope the two kids with him weren’t his sons — only because that would make the bit even funnier.

    What a joy to see the Mikester in skit work again — if only Kevin and Bill had been on camera this might have been perfect!

    Next, Mike is going to announce that he’s involved in a project with a group of new immigrants currently living in Grover’s Mill, NJ.

    Well played, Mike!

    Sauron, I’m shocked that there even WERE any Condoleezza Rice and Clarence Thomas as a monkey cartoons at all. If there were, I would certainly have been offended by them. Can you show me one from a major US newspaper? The only one I can find involves Rice, but it’s from a Palestinian newspaper, so that doesn’t count.

    Oh, and George Bush is white.

    Moving on, I don’t really get this whole bacon stunt. Very strange gimmick, but I’m guessing the whole thing was just to gain free press for Rifftrax. Can’t blame them for that, I guess. Still…weird.

    Meadow,Rex Babin,of the sacramento bee drew
    Rice like she was in black face to say she wasn’t ‘authentic’.
    Mike Luckovich,of the atlanta constitution, drew Thomas as a house slave on numerous occasions.
    Bush was portrayed in the washington post as been getting ‘bill clinton’ treatment from Rice saying she was a house slave for not disagreeing with him more.
    By the way,Obamas black,Mike Nelsons conservative,so should you feel offended that his bacon stunt is in poor taste because blacks suffer higher stroke fatalities,and bacon is a food thats considered a contributor to that condition?

    The reason for Bacon Month is now clear. The first Episode covered here in the month of March is The Violent Years, which I am watching right now, and in the first 15 minutes they’ve used the word bacon at least 4 times.

    It’s all part of the master plan.

    I’m going to combine your two thoughts here and suggest that Kevin and Bill should have played his two sons… :)
