John McCain Pokes Fun of Himself on SNL

With only three days until the Election, Senator John McCain poked fun of himself and his campaign’s financial woes on the opening sketch of this weekend’s Saturday Night Live.

McCain, along with Tina Fey playing running mate Sarah Palin, hocked items on QVC, a home shopping network, as a response to Barack Obama’s 30 minute prime time campaign ad.

“These final days have been the most essential,” McCain said. “Barack Obama purchased air time on three networks. We, however, can only afford time on QVC.” (Watch above).

He continued: “I would rather be on three major networks. But I’m a true maverick, a Republican without money.”

McCain offered a line of 10 commemorative plates, one for each of his proposed 10 town hall debates between McCain and Obama.

“They’re blank,” McCain said. “He wouldn’t agree to those debates. Too bad. They’re still nice plates.”

McCain’s skit also featured a cameo from wife Cindy, playing a beaming jewelry saleswoman, for a line of “McCain Fine Gold.”

“It commemorates the McCain Feingold Act and also looks great with evening wear,” McCain said. “Thank you Cindy.”

McCain then offered his John McCain pork knives.

At that point, Fey turned to another camera and whispered: “I’m going rogue now, so keep your voices down” and showed a “Palin in 2012″ T-shirt.

“I’m not going anywhere. And I’m certainly not going back to Alaska,” she said. “I’m either running in four years or I’m going to be a white Oprah.”
