Time to laugh at yourself and your opponent. Time to take a break in the midst of a hard fought election. Time to be humans - or comedians?

Watch these amazing videos of two opponents who seem to 'despise' themselves at campaign trails and debates, but at the Alfred E. Memorial Dinner, hosted by the Catholic Archdiocese of New York, on Thursday, October 16, 2008 - appear so human, so "friendly", and so likable.

Enjoy the great American tradition of 'roasting' someone. Senator Obama's act follows that of Senator McCain's.
