YouTube: Top-15 political videos ranked
by Mark Silva
The surprise shoe-attack of former President George W. Bush, protected, one would think, within the confines of the Green Zone in Baghdad, during his final tour of Iraq as president stands out as one of the great moments in YouTube political fare.
So say the folks at eGuiders.comwhich bills itself as a "hugely buzzed about site (modesty never paid any bills) that serves as the ultimate guide to the best of original online content.''
It is "curated'' by some Hollywood types -- Damon Lindelof, Jerry Stiller, Shawn Ryan and Jon Cassar, among them.
And they have just launched their selection of the "top political moments in online video from the past few years, as played out through YouTube.''
These moments include Jon Stewart on Crossfire in 2006 (#15), Sarah Palin's interview with CBS News' Katie Couric last year (#9), Andy Samberg's tribute to Ahmadinejad (#7), Obama's "Vote Different" campaign (#3), and the number one political moment in online video: the Iraqi journalist's shoe-attack of George Bush.
In the opinion of these "curators,'' the prank call that two Canadians placed to Palin, the erstwhile Republican Party vice presidential nominee, ranks right up there (at No. 4) with "the Obama Girl's" "I've got a crush on Obama.'' (No. 6.)
They also liked the Chuck Norris ad for Republican Mike Huckabee (No. 8), Comedy Central's Stewart debating CNBC's Jim Cramer (No. 12) and FOX's Bill O'Reilly coming unglued (No. 10)
