Don’t Make Me Turn This Car Around
I am just sick of Republicans. Get this – they are whining over their green rooms before the debate.
Just little boys with no class whatsoever. There are people without homes and they are whining about not having fancy digs before the debate.
Makes me wanna swat them.
Okay, here’s where you can put your debate comments.
I mean, isn’t that the way their oligarchic paradise would work? Those who succeed get rewarded, those who fail get to wait in the bathroom supply closet.
1Hillary spent 11 hours in front of Republican inquisitors, all day, all by herself.
Republican candidates for President don’t like their green rooms, or want to be on stage answering a few questions with nine other people for more than two hours, because they might look tired.
Who do you want in the Oval Office at 3 AM if it became necessary? Would any one of these whining Republican candidates do anything more than hit the snooze alarm, and hope the crisis would wait for them?
2What I want to know is why anyone would need a jacuzzi in the green room. Will Carly be practice drowning the government?
The question shouldn’t be why Paul and Christie were assigned such spartan accommodations by why the luxury for the others was needed.
3Isn’t this how an oligarchy works?
4No shortpeople, I think Carly will be using the Jacuzzi to perfect her waterboarding technique!
5There’s a debate…?
Look, the only thing everybody running for president of the US has in common is an enormous ego. What else do you expect from them? And tell them they wouldn’t be in a grade Z closet if there weren’t so frickin’ many of them.
6I just can’t face another republican’t hootenanny. Kasich is about the only one who appears sane so I will catch the clips tomorrow.
7Thanks to some friends of mine, I have seen my share of Green Rooms. They were very simple spaces, nothing like what is available today to A List people. Green Rooms backstage in a theatre were never meant to be more than a holding space. A real trouper would have known that! There! Take that Christie and Paul!
8Annabelle is 100% right. Those polling low need to pick themselves up by their bootstraps.
9If I actually tried to watch a Republican debate, I’d be in a green room myself … think “Exorcist” technicolor green.
10Okay. Let’s get real here. You have X number of candidates so you make that number of reasonably equal green rooms available. Period. No one gets an obviously better room than some other candidate. This is Event Prep 101. The RNC screwed this up BIG time. Now their candidates look whiney and privileged. Great messaging RNC! But you get pissy when you’re called Republican’ts. MAYBE THIS IS WHY!?
11To quote Joe Bageant:
12”Yes, it looks big time from the cheap seats. But the truth is that when we are looking at the political elite, we are looking at the dancing monkey, not the organ grinder who calls the tune. Washington’s political class is about as upwardly removed from ordinary citizens as the ruling class is from the political class. For instance, they do not work for a living in the normal sense of a job, but rather obtain their income from abstractions such as investment and law, neither of which ever gave anybody a hernia or carpal tunnel. By comparison, the ruling class does not work at all.’
Let ’em build one. Trump will pay for it. He’s “rich, very rich, very, very rich.” P.S. Put a wall around it.
13I’m watching the food fight called a debate it’s awesome sorta. I kinda keep giggling and since this is a beauty shop what up with Snarly Freakarino’s helmet head hair thing do.. I thought the woman wingnut on the ben gazarra thing hair was wierd but Snarly’s It’s not as bush or shrub like but it’s so glued together it doesn’t much it’s kinda disturbing.
14I want to watch but I just can’t.
15RE: “Then there was Chris Christie, whose small space was dominated by a toilet. So was Rand Paul’s.”
Possibly Christie and Paul find a toilet dominating their green rooms because in the toilet is where their campaigns can be found. The RNC was being realistic in a questionably charitable way.
16Oh and by the way, like AKLynne, I just can’t watch these monkeys slinging $hit at one another.
17I need to edit my posts. I rarely comment I love baseball and insulting conservatives, sometimes and I’m not blaming alcohol or smoking some weed but there it is.
This “debate” is too funny and not for nothing very disturbing to think that these idiots want to “lead” our country..
It seems to me it’s just all about being the usual a-holes they have always been.
18Wally, I chose to watch the World Series because I thought it would be much more erudite and enlightening. I was right.
KC is leading 4-1 in the 6th. Go Royals!
19I ended up using the time to put lemon oil on my kitchen cabinets and periodically coming to this site and Wonkette to get my updates. Time well spent.
20I watched “Ghost Hunters” instead. I’d rather listen to things that go bump in the night than things that spew lies on a stage.
21Rand Paul looks like he takes advantage of his green room throne, given the swirly look that he wears on his head.
22The guy on the bottom end of the totem pole got the room with the mop sink.
23And these are the people who are so adamantly against “entitlements” for ordinary citizens?
24I watched the first 2 debates, but couldn’t stomach a third so I went to ‘on demand’ and caught up with some episodes I had missed. Big Bang, NCIS and Empire were much better and way more intelligent.
25I promised my kids that if they let me watch the Debate that they could see men with their pants on fire! And, they did!
I further promised men and a woman would all have their noses
grow, and that happened! Finally, I told them if they didn’t get to bed before their mom got home from Bible Study there would most definitely be Hell Toupee . . . AND THERE WAS DONALD!
My kids think I am a real life, Boy Howdy, Magician tonight!
26Are we really all that surprised by the republi-can’t bickering over flash, trash & bash [each other over perq’s]. Since Nixon, they’ve been shallow, infantile, excremental and at an increasingly nauseous rate.
their only platform is to blame others, even when those they blame weren’t in office when the faux-issue arose.
27Whiny puppies. Need a rolled newspaper and a broom.
28Maybe a few of the checks didn’t clear.
29Uh, Elizabeth Moon? I think a rolled newspaper and a broom might turn these kinky heads on. R’s are weird that way. Can’t be too careful. Just turn on the water and get em with the hose. Oh, wait…
30O fer pete’s . . . I had much more urgent things to do such as chores. I actually accomplished something worthwhile. From what I see on the AM TV shows, I am miles a head!
31@Rick and @LynnN, I find that your posts are so good that there is nothing left to say. Except that having never watched the “Walking Dead” and that I think zombies are juvenile entertainment, I would have watched the Dead if nothing else was available.
32How can Republicans say we are an exceptional country,
And the supposed best and brightest put on a show like that ?
This is the best leadership they can offer?
Dear God, protect us from republicans!!!
33Zombie Apocalypse > Ben Carson
34I tried to sneak a peek, at the exact time when Christie was declaring that Social Security would become insolvent in 8 years and my blood pressure shot up due to the bold faced lie. I had to step away from the debate to save my life.
35Excuse (1): I no longer have cable. Can’t watch.
Excuse (2): World Series was on.
However, from what I read this morning…… it’s all the fault of “the media”.
Q. Why would I waste my time?
36A. I wouldn’t.
I didn’t watch because my good Wednesday shows were on: The Middle, The Goldbergs, Modern Family and Black-ish!! All much better then watching sniveling a-holes who holler about Big Government but they want to run it anyway.
37I didn’t watch. I went to marimba practice and made music with my friends. Then I drank wine with one of them. By the time I got home, it was all over but the crying, which it appears started well before the ‘debate’. Thanks to the customers of TWMDBS for the play by play. I didn’t miss a thing.
38What a choice of entertainment last night. A world series with two teams I don’t follow, or a ‘debate’ among 10 or so morons without the capability of a cat to follow a laser light.
A huge thank you to everyone at The World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc. for your comments, thus saving me the agony of listening to the ‘event’ and the post event moratorium by the pundits who are as dumb as the candidates.
39WallyinFl: your description of Fiorinna’s hairdo brings to mind a comment I saw describing Callista Gingrich’s … the Clobham Helmet. It must be a republican thing.
40I mistakenly tuned in to Faux for analysis, figuring it would go well with the bottom of the wine glass after dinner, since I refused to watch the actual debate. OMG. Hannity almost split his britches, as did O’Reilly and Megan whats-her-name over how badly the CNBC media pigs did, compared to the wonderful Fox debate crew. They were doing backflips over Ted Cruz’s the lame street media. Fortunately I fell asleep during their tirades. zzzzzzzugh
41My oldest brother, who resembles far too much Rev Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd) napped during the debate. Then he startled awake babbling something about flashbacks and drug abuse in the mid-1960s. I suppose even if one did not do drugs during the 1960s, this “debate” would have engendered the same reaction from one in twilight sleep.
Wonder if it’s meaningful that the GOP debated just days before Halloween? Hmmmmmm
42Yep. They pick these venues because of the large space and its suitability for TV. Also sometimes because of the “intellectual” cachet of a university. It may take a week or so to set up the TV gear, which is why you rarely see one of those in a busy entertainment venue like Carnegie Hall or Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. But you’re never going to find a venue with that many identical holding rooms. They’re going to get dressing rooms, offices, storerooms, whatever they can. It’s entirely an egofest.
43I didn’t watch it, just caught the clips. But given the response from the audience – cheering Cruz’ ridiculous tirade, booing the moderator, etc., I was embarrassed for Colorado.
Not for the first time. Or the last, I’m sure.
44Mark Schlemmer –
Hell Toupee.
SNORK!!
