Okay, This is Funny
Y’all, Donald Trump has started playing Born In The USA at his rallies just to taunt Ted Cruz.
Since Ted has zero sense of humor, this will get a rise out of him.
Then Ted can start playing Whip My Hair at his rallies.
Next thing you know, we have Battle of the Songs, which is probably a helluva lot more intellectual than the GOP debates.
I hope Trump got Springsteen’s okay otherwise he’s going to get sued.
1Someone suggested on another site that Trump should go with Whiter Shade of Pale as his theme song.
2Umm, yeah, I can hardly wait to hear what Bruce Springsteen has to say about that.
3Daffy Raffy should blast Donnie’s ears back with the March from Aida, or whatever that forced march to marriage is played at all of his weddings.
4It won’t be long before we hear Trump borrow a quote from a classic Canadian movie, aimed at Cruz:
Take off, you hoser, eh?
5Ted maybe should play “Hitler Has Only Got One Ball” for Trump?
6Springsteen’s lawyers should put a quick end to this non-sense. No doubt there was never an attempt to allow the music to be used and Trumpwon’t apologize for using it.

Born in the USA is not a patriotic song,just the opposite.
8Any takers for Fortunate Son?
9Thanks e platypus. Was wondering when someone would point that out. Just more “clueless” from Trump. Kinda like Cruz’s interpretation of “Green Eggs and Ham.” And these guys think themselves qualified to be president.
10Ha! It is actually the perfect Republican song. He is sent to war instead of prison, is told to kill a bunch of people for the government in a war they shouldn’t have been in, and is then treated like crap when he gets back. That’s the Rklans military policy in a nutshell (with guitar).
11“Lisbeth says:” wins this day. Brilliant Suggestion “whiter Shade of Pale”
12And Rubio will chime in with “O Fortuna”.
13Micr got my best laugh with this: “Ted maybe should play “Hitler Has Only Got One Ball” for Trump?”
I hope Springsteen’s people are on Trump like caca on a shingle!!
14Trump, nasty and vulgar. Cruz, nasty and hypocritical. Made for each other! How about that old chestnut, “You were meant for me, I was meant for you.”
15I had to meme-ify this whole post:

16This is sad-Ohio wingnut congresscritter Jim Jordan has invited Kaintuck’s Kim Davis to be his guest at the SOTU address.
17@PKM. Trump plays the Triumphal March from Aida at his weddings?! As an opera fan, I have to mention to those who are not opera fans, that the triumphal march for the victor in war, includes not only the display of soldiers, chariots, dancing girls displaying the spoils of war, etc etc etc., but also includes other spoils: slaves. How appropriate for Trump, but I can never again listen to that opera knowing that boor has appropriated that music for his multiple weddings. Well, I’ve always been a Puccini lover myself, so saying goodbye to a Verdi opera will not be painful.
18epo: He says he didn’t. His staff gave the ticket (s) to FRC and they invited Miss Kim. That’s his story and he’s stickin’ to it. Okay… fine… whatever…
19They have Matt Staver invited too. One should not use class and republican in the same sentence.
20They have Matt Staver invited too. One should not use class and republican in the same sentence. Who is paying for Kimmie’s plane fare and hotel room?
21Not that I’ll ever oppose Raphael Cruz in a snacilbupeR primary, but IF I did, I’d have the official MICR 2016! rock band, Manual and the Labors, crank up “Comin’ to America” every time I mentioned Raphael by name while stumping. Now if I mentioned tRump by name, Manual and the Labors would strike up The Imperial March. 🙂
22FYI: I miss seeing Boner’s orange face-making at the SOTU. And typing “Boner.” Just sayin . . .
23JAKVirginia-Jordan is in congress,who controls his staff-Obama? Must not be real proud of inviting that creature if he won’t accept responsibility for it. How do these people get elected?
24I cannot imagine that Springsteen would give permission for that man to use his song…..What a mismatch. Can we just get someone to play “O Canada” when Cruz comes out… though “Coming to America” is good, too.
25And Cruz skipped the State of The Union tonight. Back visiting his friends in Canada?
26How long until the owner of the copyright on “Born In America” sues T-rump?
27It wasn’t that long ago: http://ultimateclassicrock.com/bruce-springsteen-donald-trump-president-obama/
28Saw our boy Steny Hoyer a few times during the SOTU. Didn’t see Louie. Didn’t miss him. Ditto twice on Cruz.
29There’s a lovely tweet from a journalist in Canada about Cruz and the Republicans’ lack of upset at his foreign birth:
From @Paulatics: “Wait till someone tells them Cruz was born in a province with a socialist premier and a city with a Muslim mayor! https://twitter.com/Slate/status/687032841574715392 …”
30I think the Addams family theme song would be more appropriate for raphael.
31Diane – and the Munsters theme for Paul Ryan – he’s got Eddie’s hair.
32Cruz-boy was off campaigning somewhere else!
33Rubio was caught on camera a few times looking totally bored.
Poker Face Ryan just sat and looked on … he did clap a couple times and I think he stood up a couple times … not sure why he bothered! I heard someone say that Ryan’s wife even told him to ditch the poker face … that didn’t work obviously!!
I love how President Obama gives a peck on the cheek to most every woman he greets in the long walk down the aisle to the podium. And, of course, RBG’s hug … she just wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him close! I love that, too!!
And, Trump the Stump is already badmouthing the SOTU speech. He is such a chump that stump!!
@Diane
34Nah, they were weird, but good people at heart. Since they are all trying to start a race war, maybe “Helter Skelter” in honor of Manson.
Republican candidates are always stealing intellectual property–especially music. One would think they would be all for property rights–but I suppose the word “intellectual” confuses them.
35Myrnatoo, I defer to your far superior knowledge of opera. Which tune from Die Dreigroschenoper were the brides humming?
Now I return to more comfortable ground, #hashtag wars.
#DonnieWantsToSpelunkHisDaughter.
36Folks in England are fully aware of what’s going on and one of my friends from Norfolk sent me the following joke this morning. I had to clean it up a bit for Mama’s sake:
***
Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are sitting in a bar.
A guy walks in and asks the barman, “Isn’t that Trump and Cruz sitting over there?” The bartender says, “Yep, that’s them.”
So the guy walks over and says, “Wow, this is a real honor! What are you guys doing in here?”
Cruz says, “We’re planning WW III.”
The guy says, “Really? What’s going to happen?”
Trump says, “Well, we’re going to kill 140 million Muslims and one blonde with mammoth hooters.”
The guy exclaimed, “A blonde with big ones? Why kill a blonde with big boobs?”
Trump turns to Cruz and says, “See, I told you, no one gives a crap about the 140 million Muslims.”
37e platypus onion @8: Exactly. And conservative nitwits never get that.
