<p>In a final tip of the hat that sums up this year's (disappointing) election, Gavin Watch has celebrity candidate Chicken John's surprise Saturday night debate with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Not the real mayor, mind you, but Gavin in puppet form. (Kudos to those who created the puppet, though we would've have liked to have seen Newsom sporting a signature cold-blue tie. We digress.) </p>

<p>It's a humorous bit, one that stretches on and on, but worth your time. And beware: the political puppetry metaphors whirling about might  hit you smack-ouch in the crotch. Enjoy!</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
