Fox's animated comedy "Family Guy" on Sunday showed one of its main characters, Stewie Griffin, dressed up in a Nazi uniform with a McCain-Palin button on it.

I kid you not.

The premise of the episode setting up this disgraceful political statement weeks before an important election was described by IGN TV (video of segment embedded right, h/t NB reader David M):

The guys travel to Poland on the day of the Nazi invasion to rescue Mort who accidentally steps into a time machine. One can only imagine what Hitler will be up to as the trio try to get back to Quahog.

As you can see by the embedded video, after the trio takes uniforms away from three Nazis, Stewie notices the following under his lapel:

Isn't that special?
