Video Compare & Contrast

These two have a lot in common, in my humble opinion (skip to about 28 seconds in the first video):


Which is a sequence of text from SNL, and which is a candidate for VP by a major political party in the United States of America?

Option 1
Q: Why is it much more challenging (in Afghanistan), can you explain that?
A: The logistics that we're already suggesting here...
Not having enough troops in the area right now...
Um...
The...
Things like the terrain even, in Afghanistan and that border between Pakistan and Afghanistan where
we believe that, um, bin Laden is hidin' out right now, and is such a leader of this terrorist movement...
There, there are many more challenges there...
So again...
I believe that a surge in Afghanistan also, will lead us to victory there, as it has proven to have done in Iraq...
And, as I say, Katie, that we can not afford to retreat, to withdraw in Iraq...
That's not going to get us any better off in Afghanistan either...
And as our leaders are telling us in our military, we do need to ramp it up in Afghanistan, counting on our friends and allies to assist with us there, because these terrorists, who hate America, they hate what we stand for, with th.. the freedoms, the democracy, the women's rights, the tolerance, they hate what it is that we represent, and our allies too, and our friends, what they represent...
If we were to allow a stronghold to be captured by these terrorists then the world is in even greater peril than it is today...
We can not afford to lose in Afghanistan.

Option 2:
This, this is amazing, I, I, I almost, I, I almost just about passed out
Unbelievable...
I want you to... look at this picture of this house.
Are you getting this?
You know, it... it's... it's the reason
I wake up, I wake up like anybody
I was taught...
Most Americans...
Education...
Any border...
If if if Helsinki, in Oslo I think
Any publication...
We would...
Isn't it, Isn't it integral?
Isn't it the most important...?
It's the substance?
It's the... It's the very idea that we can unite that makes me feel..
I mean, look...

Or maybe this is more fitting:
