When I first saw this it looked rather stupid; a flash game pitting political figures against one another in rock, paper scissors. The next thing I knew, I had been playing for more than an hour ... oops. Sorry, guy I was supposed to meet to pick up my taxes. (Hint: When playing against George W. Bush, he always throws rock. Get it? A rock? Never mind.)
Here's the bloody game. And did you know that there is actually a Rock Paper Scissors national championship? Here's some video at their site, if you want to waste even more time.
In other sports news involving politics, the NFL has announced that it will move back the start of its NFL opener this coming season so as not to conflict with the Republican National Convention that same evening. So it'll be 7 p.m., ET, instead of the traditional 8:30 p.m. So that's 4 p.m. to me. Damn you, McCain! (one, two, three ... paper!).

i see what you did there
I've got money on the half-white guy.
Barack beats monster.
I didn't even need to read a word, and I knew this was a Rick post.
We're already replacing the DSRL?
Eli's so pissed, he's going to go lick the white cream off Peyton.
.....what???
Obama: "1... 2 ... 3... shoot!"
Hillary: [ducks]
And its sequel, Roshambo v. Wade.
"I've got money on the half-white guy."
Conversely, I'll take Barack Obama.
@Jefferson Short Bus:
+1. Nicely done.
TJ Ford vs. Curt Schilling? WTF?
There needs to be a Bob Dole cameo, where he tries for an hour to throw paper.
It is impossible to beat John Kerry. He throws paper with one hand and rock with the other. Then after seeing what you have decides which one he wants to use,
When playing Andrew Jackson it doesn't matter what you throw, he's still going to shoot you in the face.
"Whoever wins this battle of Rock Paper Scissors is going to South Dakota and Oregon and Washington and Michigan, and then they're going to Washington, D.C. to take back the White House! YeaAHAHhhh!!!"

Good old rock, nothing beats rock.
Ted Kennedy only has one option. It looks like a kung fu grip and a glass of scotch fits exactly into place.
Thomas Jefferson just leaves and bangs Obama's wife
@Doyle McPoyle:
John McCain is just happy it wasn't a roof-raising contest.
William Henry Harrison always loses.
and john mccain just sits there, pandering to folks who like rocks, papers, and scissors. claiming he supports them all
Mike Gravel will just throw your rock in the water.
Obama hates the white paper.
Needs more Four Square.
Truman is the bomb at this game.
Wouldn't it be moving up the start time of the game if it's earlier than usual?
Fourth option: nuclear warhead.
Presidential humor? Yostal is going to be so sad he missed this.
It would be impossible to beat Marion Barry. He would always throw down paper and rock.
Hillary is not familiar with Rock Paper Scissors. However her and Bill ARE familiar with hide the cigar... well at least Bill.
@Gourmet Spud:
Dubya isn't so big on raising roofs either. Don't believe me? Ask thousands of people in New Orleans.

@Pittsburgh Sports and Mini Ponies: That was not funny and funny all at once. +1
@Secret Identity: But he does like razing countries.
USARPS is the inferior RPS governing body. I only play at sanctioned World RPS events.
Lyndon LaRouche wishes Rock would be tried for war crimes. And if it's all the same, Scissors can stop it with the mind control.
Rock is fine. No structural damage to rock. Rock can break through paper at any point. Just say the word. Paper sucks.

@Bruin Brewin:
Rock, Paper, Dynamite with a Cuttable Wick?
Damn you, Ahmedinijad, and your paper!
If you try paper against Dick Cheney, he tries to put your hand in a shredder. It's just a Pavlovian reaction.
In other words, USARPS is the USFL of rock paper scissors sanctioning bodies.
Hillary has 35 years of experience at watching Bill play, so she's ready to step in on Day 1.
@Jen P: If we play as Hillary, can we use a snuke?
I play Rock Paper Scissors under the alias "Blit Meat".
True or false, I know a girl who won a trip to the National Rock Paper Scissors Championships in Vegas.
Oh, very, very, very true.
@Secret Identity: Dubya isn't so big on raising roofs either. Don't believe me? Ask thousands of poor people in New Orleans.
fixt.
