Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “Be of good chair” edition
tommyfd
Morning, everybody, and happy славный день прав работников, comrades!
Let’s all suit up and get the inevitable over with. One of the drawbacks of having a Monday morning posting slot is when something entertianing happens in the middle of the week. By the time my post hits, the entertaining event has been hammered, masticated, ridiculed, and generally done-to-death by every wag with a blog, talk show, or late-night snark fest (hence last week’s bonus Obsession).
Well, nobody nutpicks like your master nutpicker, so if you’ve not hit Peak Eastwood yet, follow me into the iso chamber for the Clint Eastwood Appreciation Thread!

At first, of course, the Freeperati were all moist in the panties, superimposing memories about the salad days of Dirty Chairry over the spectacle that had Ryan squirming in his chair like a home-schooler at a sex-ed class, and Romney giggling in hysteria backstage:

Yep, classy guy and that stchick (sp?) with an empty chair talking
with Dear Reader was brilliant, funny and made fun of the ijit,
O’Bummer.
Almost fell out of my chair when he leaned over and said: (Paraphrasing) “What? Tell Romney What?” “He can’t do to himself.”
Auto-fellatio?
A must see!

I can see tomorrows headlines now:
“Senile, stuttering, racist old white man talks to empty chair.”
And it’s already starting. The Madcow just said his speech were the incoherent ramblings of someone with alzheimers.
Love Eastwood, but having him speak was a mistake. Sure, he got some
laughs, but the media will have a field day with his performance. He
will be ridiculed to no end by the likes of Maher, Letterman, Conan,
and, of course, the media.

That was rather embarrassing. Clint *was* a good actor but his
politics have always been a bit squishy and he just seemed to be taking
up valuable speaking time. Was anyone really moved by this rambling
hem-haw of a alzheimer moment?
I’d bet Sarah Palin would have energized the crowd twice as well and got off more zingers.

No, I’m not star-struck over Eastwood as some on this thread seem to be, and I thought his rambling talk was a snoozer.

At least a quarter of Americans still don’t know who Paul Ryan
is, and only about half who know and have an opinion of him view him
favorably. So, Ryan’s primary job tonight was to introduce himself and
make himself seem likeable, and he did that well. The personal parts of
the speech were very personally delivered, especially the touching parts
where Ryan talked about his father and mother and their roles in his
life. And at the end of the speech, when Ryan cheered the crowd to its
feet, he showed an energy and enthusiasm that’s what voters want in
leaders and what Republicans have been desperately lacking in this
campaign.

Time for one more…just got back from the third party!

Sarah Palin endorsed a third-party candidacy against Rep. Todd Akin,
R-Mo., if he persists in his refusal to drop out of the general election
campaign after making startling comments about rape and abortion.
“We’ve
got to take back the Senate and Missouri is a must-win state,” Palin
told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “The way we do that is to have
someone like Sarah Steelman be able to run — even if it’s as a
third-party candidate — to be able to run and help us take this back.”
Palin endorsed Steelman in the primary, which was regarded as showdown
for the privilege of challenging the deeply-unpopular Sen. Claire
McCaskill, D-Mo.
The former Alaska governor reiterated her
support for a third-party run when considering how conservatives should
respond if Akin does not drop out before the state prints the ballots
for the general election.
“Maybe it is a third-party run of Sarah
Steelman — that I could get behind,” she said. “Granted, ‘the status
quo has got to go’ [Steelman’s campaign motto] would be an odd name for a
third party, but we’ll coin it, we’ll adopt it, we’ll run with it if
that’s what it takes in order to get a common sense, constitutional,
happens-to-be-pro-life woman in Missouri to clean up this mess that has
been created and at the same time take back the Senate.”
****************************************
This may be the only way to salvage the seat. Akin is making life very difficult, he hurts the party and the pro-life cause.

I saw Sarah Palin on Greta’s show Tuesday night.
Palin was VERY ticked off about Akin remaining in the race. Her words
were terse, and I don’t think she smiled at all during the entire
interview. Very unusual for a typical Sarah Palin-Greta Van Sustern
interview…

NOT going there.
Akin in fact DAMAGES the prolife
cause not helps it. He is such a selfish SOB he would rather take
everyone down with him than take one for the team. His comments we
inexcusable and moronic. Akin is an embarrassment and should retire and
take a biology course or two.

The Moron Senator has been bought and paid for by the Communist
Obama machine. This stupid dink did not just wake up one day spouting
inflammatory inappropriate drivel. He is committing political suicide
and must have been paid to do it. Abortion and pro life is a compassion
and morals issue and he is a moron. Just talk about the 50 MILLION DEAD
BABIES from Americans abortions, then shut up.
