Impressionist and New York Times acclaimed comedian James Adomian (George W. Bush in Harold & Kumar 2, @midnight, Comedy Bang Bang) has a new video up at Funny or Die, doing an impression of Bernie Sanders. Unlike his W, James is an avid supporter of the Vermont senator, and he does this impression to highlight Sanders' views and poke fun at the narrative that Bernie is unelectable, as well as subtly get his message out.
Bernie Sanders Raw at Funny or Die
In the interests of full disclosure, I co-wrote the video and play the VO guy at the end. I am also a Sanders supporter and comedian (Conan, Tonight Show, @midnight.) We have had 40k hits so far and I thought Kossacks might like it. It also features Redfoo from LMFAO.
Yesterday, Dave Weigel at Bloomberg News wrote this piece about the video and Adomian:

It has been featured on Vox and Splitsider among other blogs. Hope you enjoy it.
If you like it, you may also want to check out James' comedy, which addresses gay issues and politics from a liberal POV as well as being one of the best acts in the country right now.
