This was hilarious. Last night when we were watching CNN and heard this, my boyfriend and and I turned to each other and said, “Oh Anderson Cooper!” I really enjoy Anderson’s desire to intertwine pop culture and politics.

@Maura Johnston: @Chris Molanphy: Can we have more of these political / rapper analogies, please? These are the best comments in awhile.

@lempha:

That was one of my favorite jams of last year. I legitimately downloaded it from Itunes. It's a good song to play while preparing for a night out (I can't believe I just admitted that to the masses).

@Maura Johnston: Ooh, infighting: maybe the Republicans are G-Unit, and Bobby Jindal wants to be 50 Cent, but he's really Tony Yayo. (Which makes Sarah Palin Fitty: hyped early on, with a hyperbolic gangsta past, quick falloff.)

G-G-G-G-G-G-G.O.P.!!

@Chris Molanphy: yeah, but even if the democrats in the midterms are pummeled by the pundits (critics), they'll still perform well (808s is no. 8 this week) while the republicans further consume themselves with their infighting (when is before i self-destruct coming out again?)

So I guess the Senate campaign = The College Dropout: out-of-nowhere success, instant celebrity, the guy shows a precocious charm and near-innocence.

The presidential campaign = Late Registration: cultural/media dominance, blockbuster returns.

The presidency = Graduation: culmination of earlier work, launches with even bigger cultural noise and a quick hit single, but a bit of faltering after a few weeks. Ages decently.

Man, I hope the midterm elections don't go all 808s and Heartbreak on us.

I legitimately liked the T-Pain track R. Ross did, “The Boss”.

That's not fair. Fiddy at least has a Mid East strategy.
