The Greatest Threat to the United States is Steve Guttenberg

If you've been watching the U.S. presidential debate, you know there was a lot of talk about what's truly threatening to this once-great nation. Obama and McCain talked about terrorism, the failing economy, and fuel. But they forgot one crucial thing: Nukes! That's why I immediately sat down to make this clip and bring you an important message from 1983 TV movie The Day After. After the Russkies nuke a nice town in Kansas, only Steve Guttenberg survives. As if that weren't scary enough, we learn that nukes also turn us into SKELETONS! Ah, the good old days, when Soviets were Soviets and the United States had a president whose proposed missile defense system was often confused with a George Lucas franchise.
