Last Night’s Debate
Juanita and the entire membership of Beauticians Local #486 got together last night and watched the TeaParty Debate on CNN.
Biggest winner: President Barack Obama
Biggest Loser: Wolf Blitzer’s “Journalist” title
Everybody agreed that the audience was far more entertaining than the debaters.
Thelma thought to whole affair seemed to be the largest mega-church in Mississippi going all rogue and cheering for people to die painful deaths just so they could watch, look smug, and use it as a life lesson for their unemployed 10 year old to get a damn job right now. “They’re Church lady, armed, meaner and definitely more blood-thirsty,” she says.
Juanita thought it looked like the most borrrring Weight Watchers meeting ever.
And whatever adviser told Jon Huntsman that a crowd of very old chubby gun-happy white people would get a Kurt Cobain joke is just a very mean person. No, I’m serious, that was mean to make everybody look at the Morman dude like whaaaaaa? Plus, it’s not called No Apologies. It’s called All Apologies. However, it does have some interesting lyrics for someone to be using in reference to Rick Perry.
What else should I be
All apologies
What else could I say
Everyone is gay
What else could I write
I don’t have the right
What else should I be
All apologies
(In the interest of full disclosure, I had to call my hip daughter-in-law and ask, “What the hell was Huntsman talking about with Cobain? To which she replied, “No shoot. That was a massively surreal moment.”)
Everybody was cheering for the charmingly insane Michelle Bachmann when she got up in Rick Perry’s face, but she slipped and fell. It wasn’t about $5,000. It was about cronyism. And she should have answered his “If you think I’m for sell for $5,000, I’m insulted,” with “Well, then what IS your price, Governor? Because most estimates put it at $200,000.”
Some of you guys know Harold Cook, the funniest political guy in Texas, who drops by here occasionally for the free coffee and fashion advice. He didn’t embarrass us last night on The Ed Show on MSNBC. The first two clips are good, but be sure to watch the third one on jobs. Click right about here to see them and leave a note thanking Harold for keeping the world from thinking that all Texans are …. well, you know, ready to watch you die.
Thanks to Jim for this keeper of a quote —-
