Prez Election 2008

Resident "Hills" dolt Heidi Montag tells Us she is entering the political arena, even though she doesn't really know what an arena is ... and she's endorsing John McCain.

Somewhere, Obama and Hil are grinning.

No, he can't! Bowl, that is.

Barack hit the lanes in Pennsylvania yesterday, where he bowled a 37. He did, however, don a size 13½ bowling shoe. You know what they say about candidates with big feet ...

Big tax breaks!

"Lord of the Rings" star Sean Astin joined former (and possibly next) First Daughter Chelsea Clinton in Indiana on Tuesday to campaign for Hillary.

Screw fixing the economy, those are the hottest presidential nominees since, well, ever! We dig the highlights.

This is one crazy family tree! The New England Historic Genealogical Society, the oldest and largest nonprofit genealogical organization in the country, has found a way to get Barack and Hillary together -- through lineage!

They claim Barack Obama and Brad Pitt are ninth cousins, and Hillary Clinton is related to Pitt's baby mama, Angelina Jolie -- they're also ninth cousins. That family reunion would have drama for days!

The report also says that Obama is a very distant relative of President Bush. According to the Geological Society , they are 10th cousins, once removed ... whatever that means.

Barack is also linked to five other Presidents -- including Harry S. Truman and Gerald Ford.

Meanwhile, the U.S. death toll in Iraq reached 4000 on Sunday.

Doll company Herobuilders has created an 8-inch tall Barack Obama doll. Unlike the life-sized version, the creepy looking, pint-sized presidential hopeful does not come with a guarantee to bring about real change in Washington.

Apparently DMX is not only crazy as the day is long, but he's also living on another planet.

The rapper did a bizarre interview recently with XXL, where he claims he has never heard of anyone named Barack Obama! He then proceeded to make fun of Obama's name -- because the name DMX is clearly ingenious.

DMX continued digging a hole for himself, saying he hasn't followed the presidential race at all and that "The president is a puppet anyway. The president don't make no damn decisions."

Lucky for the rest of the America, DMX revealed he's not allowed to vote because he's a convicted felon.

Calls to DMX's rep for a statement were not returned.

Barack gets the Black vote -- BlackBerry that is!

Research in Motion -- the maker of BlackBerry -- has teamed up with Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.i.am's website, Dipdive.com, to run a series of pro-Obama videos.

While the folks at RIM haven't officially endorsed Barack, Will.i.am is a fierce supporter of Obama. The Dipdive website has so much Obama content, it might as well be run by his camp!

Hillary's people better call Apple and get on the iPhone train!

The first child featured in the ad -- which asks people who they want to answer the phone in the White House at 3:00 AM -- is actually Casey Knowles, an Obama volunteer in the state of Washington. The footage was shot eight years ago when she worked as a TV extra. Getty Images owns the footage and can do with it as it pleases.

Knowles, who turns 18 in April, told KING 5 in Seattle that she is for Barack all the way: "It's really sort of ironic that my image would be used to advocate for Hillary when I myself do not."

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak goes in for the kill as he greets Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in Jerusalem on Wednesday.

Unlike her debates with Barack, Hillary Clinton's appearance on "SNL" this weekend came with no arguments from the New York senator.

Sources tell TMZ the skit -- featuring Amy Poehler in Hillary drag -- was written on Saturday afternoon and sent over to Hill's camp for approval. We're told the material was promptly okayed with no edits. She's not the candidate for change!

While sources tell us Clinton skipped the earlier run-through, she showed up to the studio at around 10 p.m. -- blanketed with over 15 security guards and Secret Service. We're told Hillary was a really good sport and left not too long after the opening sketch was finished.

Someone might want to tell Jack that this video might actually benefit Obama's campaign.

Either "SNL" came back from the writer's strike completely color blind or extremely one-sided. The show debuted their new Barack Obama character, which as a surprise to many -- is played by someone who isn't African-American.

A columnist at the ChicagoTribune.com has called out SNL on their choice to have Fred Armisen, who is Hispanic and Asian, portray Obama -- saying the show may be marginalizing African-American performers.

Perhaps "SNL" had their hands tied, because Kenan Thompson, the only African-American male on the cast, isn't exactly in the same weight class as Barack. Seriously, he played "Fat Albert."
