Love that picture! My drinking game? Start early.
Okay, all kidding aside. Drink every time Romney mentions poor people – they’re all the rage this year. Heaven help him if he tries and relate his life experience to the poor.
Good luck, P! I can’t listen to them any more.
TAMPA (The Borowitz Report)—Coining a phrase that seems destined to become his new campaign slogan, Mitt Romney needed only three words tonight to accept the Republican Presidential nomination: “I bought it.”
Those words had a special meaning for Mr. Romney, who had to spend seventy million dollars in the G.O.P. primaries to defeat a serial adulterer, a former pizza executive, and a crackpot in a sweater-vest.
Holy cow! Chuck Todd just interviewed Scott Brown who couldn’t run away from Mitt and the GOP fast enough. I know he has to win Massachusetts, but… Holy cow!
Love that picture. So who was the mystery wingnut?
Mystery speaker hasn’t come on yet. I’ll let you know…
Now Willard is responsible for the success of the American medalists in the 2002 olympics. Cults are devastating.
Good line from Borowitz.
Here’s how we draw the party lines:
Democrats build,
Republicans buy.
Looks like it’s Eastwood, comrades.
Did the woman skeet shooter who was so proud of female American athletes forget about the Democrats and TitleIX ?
Yup… It’s Clint.
That video nauseated me!!
The man who has taken millions in public subsidies to make his movies. Awesome.
He sounds like he can’t string a thought together.
Clint Eastwood appears senile.
Oh my… Clint is stumbling and stuttering. This is not good. He can’t finish a sentence smoothly. Actually, it’s really sad to watch. He’s talking to an empty spot on the stage and pretending it’s Obama and pretending Obama is telling him to shut up and the he said, “What do you want me to tell Mitt?” (He’s speaking to invisible Obama) And then says, “I can’t tell him that! You’re starting to sound like Biden. I guess he’s pretending that Obama is saying… Go screw yourself? I have no idea
Oh… this is painful.
Wow, I am shocked at how poor Clint is doing. And I am a bit of a Clint Eastwood fan.
He looks and sound like a crazy old man, and that before he started talking to an empty chair having an imaginary conversation with Obama.
I am so glad that is over. For Clints sake.
Oh my, that was bad.
I wonder if Mitt ever thinks about how much they really didn’t want him. And, Ryan looks like an arrogant, smirking prick every time the camera shows him!
Clint Eastwood’s still wondering who the mystery speaker will be.
I’m having trouble following Romney’s speech.
re: I’ve hired all sorts of ladies!
I would like to cordially invite Willard Romney to eat seven separate and distinct bags of dicks.
“The man who has taken millions in public subsidies to make his movies. Awesome”
Are you saying that the Government has funded Clint’s movies? Does he owe his whole career to the Government? The Government is the only liberal religion. Communion being served Monday mornings at the Carvel Bldg.

^Truth.
should he eat the bags as a whole… or take them out individually?
I’ve only been listening for a few minutes, but the sense I get is that I and people like me (for instance, not christian and who choose not to have children) don’t exist in the Rmoney/Ryan world view. Neverevenmind about the money thing.
Plus he hasn’t said anything substantial about what he would do to make things better.
Ben I would prefer individual, as that would take longer. Also he is only allowed one bottle of ketchup, as a courtesy.
I agree, with Mike Matthews, Facebook, post I wish these guys would just own there crazy.
Chair,
You have to ask yourself, do you feel lucky? Do you chair? Oh yeah one more thing Chair. Gitmo chair. Gitmo !!
I disagree that tax credits,which many businesses and individuals receive for various things, are the same as subsidies. There is a difference between active government support through loans, actual subsidies and other support and changes in federal, state, or local taxing regulations that may exempt a portion of or all of an entity’s income or reduce their tax liability.
In a very general meaning of the word “subsidy,” I suppose one could argue that it is a form of government assistance but attributes such as direct, indirect, tax payer money coming from the government versus taxes that an entity did not have to pay to the government should matter.
Bottom line is that tax credits received by Clint Eastwood are not the same thing as direct assistance in the form of loans and support that the Valenzuelas received.
the choking up: real or calculated? i’ve never seen him that close to emoting before so i can’t decide.
I’m not watching. I’m reading blogs. I’ll let you know in 10 minutes.
AP is reporting that the same person who vetted Eastwood to speak vetted Sher Valenzuela – David Axlerod.
Did Rubio flub a line at the end of his speech? I think I heard him say “Americans will choose gov’t over freedom!”
Yup, SA, he did.
That was beyond epic, on twitter. Hilarious. 😀
I heard it too. I was sort of confused.
Paula, I dont interpret the way you do. I think romney and the republicans are simply saying that families are an important part of our countries fabric. You are young, and at this point in life dont think you want to have kids, thats fine. Nothing wrong with that. Luckily for you your mom felt different. One day you might feel different also
