Amusing political Youtubes

I have come across two politically related Youtube clips that have made me chuckle today. The first one is this parody of "I kissed a girl (and I liked it)" by two blokes explaining how they read some Marx (and they liked it):

Hattip to Lib Con for drawing my attention to it.

The second one (below) is frankly genius. Tom Harris has footage of the chairman of the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority explaining the new expenses system. The last two seconds, bearing in mind how IPSA appear to have responded badly to criticism recently nearly had me falling of my chair with laughter:

Labour are brave letting Brown front their Euro election broadcast!

Just saw the latest Labour Party Election Broadcast for the Euro elections on the TV. It features Gordon Brown telling us how great he is and what he has done for us and how awful it would be under "the alternative", presumably the Conservatives.

It is quite brave of Labour to have Brown fronting this and also releasing it on Youtube after his disastrous outing via this medium about MPs expenses a couple of weeks ago. Also, I don't understand why they are trying to turn the European elections into a referendum on Brown's performance. Do they not know how unpopular he is?
