MoveOn.org, the liberal activist group that just yesterday turned 11 years old, has enlisted a few Hollywood actors to deliver a sarcastic attack on the health insurance industry. The faux PSA stars Will Ferrell, Mad Men's Jon Hamm and that guy from Scrubs (I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV!) giving tongue-in-cheek pleas to protect wealthy health insurance executives from health care reform. "Insurance companies are detail-oriented enough to deny claims for things like typos," snarks Ferrell. "If you spell something wrong, do you really deserve surgery?"

It's hard to see the ad having much of a reach beyond the base of people who already support health care reform. Funny as the ad is, MoveOn + Hollywood actors aren't exactly at the top of Republicans' influence list.

With pressure mounting on South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford to step down (and Sanford repeatedly refusing calls to do so), some of the governor's opponents are attempting to take matters into their own hands. Democratic attorney Dwight Drake created a spoof of the hit indie film "500 Days of Summer," calling for citizens to sign a petition to force Sanford out of office.

When it comes to the health care debate, it seems every interest group in the country has had its say. But one important coalition that has been silent until now are the nation's billionaires, a small but powerful group that has launched a new campaign to tell the country "Just Vote NO! We Like the $tatus Quo!" According to their website, the Billionaires for Wealthcare (an offshoot of the mildly famous "Billionaires For Bush" coalition) have taken to the streets in recent days to fight for the one thing they believe in: "PROFITS!"

Okay, so this group is obviously using tongue-in-cheek tactics to get across its real message that it believes the current health care system rewards insurance companies and big pharma. But like a good Stephen Colbert skit, their sarcasm may be lost on their intended audience. Watch as opponents of a health care overhaul cheer as the Billionaires drive by.

When he's not saving the world through physics, The Atom has a few things to say about the state of education in the nation's Capitol. As part of a training exercise, young progressive organizers are merging social media with tactics from the Obama campaign to elect one of eight superheroes Mayor of DC (that's the District of Columbia, not DC Comics). Check out the campaign, and vote for your favorite superhero here. Voting runs from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. As residents of DC, we here at Politics (Un)Seriously just hope that whoever wins has the power to leap large potholes in a single bound.

As part of its awareness campaign on the national debt, the Peter G. Peterson Foundation launched a tongue-in-cheek web site featuring the accountants Owen and Payne. These two crazy guys take to the streets to explain why every American owes $184,000.

Former Sen. Tom Daschle withdrew his name for secretary of health and human services today, citing the furor over revelations that he owed more than $140,000 in back taxes for the use of a personal car and driver. That's a lot of moolah, especially for a man who once taped a campaign ad featuring the old Pontiac he drove around Washington while other DC fat cats rolled in their Rolls Royces.

"Maybe he's sentimental," says a gravely-voiced narrator, "or just cheap. Whatever the case, isn't it too bad that Washington doesn't understand that a penny saved is a penny earned."

Ouch.

Considering the unprecedented interest in politics these past two years, culminating in the historic election of Barack Obama, one might have expected the Super Bowl to feature some political-themed ads. Nope. Nada. Zilch. The closest any ads came were these two (2nd ad after the jump) by General Electric, promoting, respectively, wind energy and the so-called smart grid.

Wind Energy:

Well, B-, C- and even D-lister (Victoria Jackson? She's still around?) Hollywood actors, anyway. The Republican National Senatorial Committee put together this ad of some of Franken's base blasting the Minnesota Democratic candidate for giving Tinseltown a bad name. We here at Politics (Un)Seriously were happy to see former Cheers star John Ratzenberger back in a starring role. We were just sad that he didn't open the spot with Cliff Claven's trademark line, "It's a little known fact..."

BarackforPresident on YouTube lost no time in posting this video of McCain misspeaking ...

Well, it's not quite a knee-slapper, but we'll give Colorado Democratic Senate hopeful Mark Udall at least a point for trying.
