08-21-2000: Campaign 2000, starring Maria Pope, sponsored by Compostumbler (woman video clip again, "pack up and ride grandma", etc., "meow"). George Bush to consider "other debate possibilities" (other than standard League of Women Voters-sponsored debates); Lieberman looks like Teller from Penn & Teller; video clip of the Gores passionately kissing at the Democratic National Convention. Maria's guest Survivor castaway is Sean, age 30.

We see Polaroids of Dave's bloody finger, etc. (Video of the procedure is not available for legal reasons.)
