Reuters reports:

Obama seeks to show he can "stand the heat"

Hammered by Hillary Clinton's claim he is not tough enough for the U.S. presidency, Barack Obama worked to show that he could "stand the heat" as he faced a possible defeat in Pennsylvania on Tuesday.

What's more, Obama has signed on to a unique demonstration to prove he can stand the heat. For a grueling five hours this coming Monday, April 28, the Illinois Senator will sit, tied to a chair, and have to face a series of abusers -- Don Rickles, Lisa Lampanelli, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and veteran character actor R. Lee Ermey. If he manages not to crack during the first four hours, his last hour will be spent with David Duke, who insists he has some special wardrobe for the occasion.

His Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton has already denounced the event as a stunt, asserting, "Let Senator Obama spend an evening with a drunked-up Jim Carville and Mary Matalin, and then we'll talk about standing up to the heat. I mean, not only are they unbearable to listen to, but then they start making out, and that's just gross."

I agree with poster number one, that was some damn funny shit, George.

Well-done.

Well, Mike, it depends upon the browser you use. I haven't checked in IE, but while it appears as just ??? in Firefox, in Safari it's what I think is Chinese. So I'm pretty sure the comment isn't "how funny" but instead is "buy imitation Rolexes cheap."

While anonymous does bring up some interesting points, I still say that Obama has a better chance against McCain.
