2012 republican presidential nominee IV: NEEDS MORE BOOING

I should have posted it side-by-side with this, which happened simultaneously:

Just as awkward and far more creepy, although with the advantage of not leaving behind a score.

Sometimes forget image tags:

okay, now that really IS triggering palin bikini flashbacks

jeez, Charlton Heston looked goofier than I remembered

I actually wasn't 100% sure that was fake, it seemed almost plausible for a second, maybe from her rural woman period in the primary

that was really one of the most amazing coups, everyone just suddenly accepting her as a downhome pickup truck driver woman of the people, I still don't really understand what happened

I should pretend I intended for everyone to do a triple-take, but, embarrassing as this is, I thought that was a real photo dating back to all that nonsense she spouted in Pennsylvania in '08. Whatever she said at the time was basically in line with the photo. I'm a little too quick to search and post sometimes. Note to self: must check man-hands next time. Or suit and tie. Or clumsy photoshop. Or something.

I have a vague memory that Hillary ordered a boilermaker in Pennsylvania or Ohio in the spring of 2008. Not 100% sure if it happened. Her version of bowling?

Googled. It was almost 4 years ago to the day (4/13/08):

"CROWN POINT, Indiana – After a day of taking shots at rival Sen. Barack Obama over his "bitter" remarks, Sen. Hillary Clinton relaxed in Crown Point, Indiana and took a shot of a different kind – Crown Royal whiskey."

No shrinking violet, HRC, but a man's man, apparently. More of the same authenticity crap more likely.

Kicking and a-gouging, the guns and the mud and the beer:

one day that's gonna be a document for some ap us history exam

that was really one of the most amazing coups, everyone just suddenly accepting her as a downhome pickup truck driver woman of the people, I still don't really understand what happened

She ran against a black guy.

Since when is Crown Royal some hard workin' salt-of-the-earth-type drink? It's not exactly Old Overholt...

Canadian booze? What a pinko.

I love that airplane picture.

so Newt has accepted reality -- has clemenza? Perhaps you're ready for your general election thread, One's a Born Liar, The Other's Self-Made.

Yes, sometime around Ohio. (A small part of me is still hoping for a Cain/Perry ticket to light up the convention.) Now, I know you haven't been on this thread much. When there is a thread for the general, please remember to be on your best behaviour.

Damn, woman.

I'd have to cover myself with a volleyball too.

Man, I would love to sit around and do shots with H. Rod.

I'd love to put her in prison, with pretty much everyone she's worked with.

When there is a thread for the general, please remember to be on your best behaviour.

I'll be in the streets with the 99% instead of being distracted by The Big Charade.

Morbz into handcuffs and batons, I get you.

tsk tsk

lol

Santorum has dropped out.

GE thread?

santorum has dropped out of what?

the race

oh yeah, anal creme.

our long national dream... is over

live stream at WaPo of quitting any time now

http://www.washingtonpost.com/live/video-1

currently just a reporter standing around on camera wearing a purple necktie

nyt sez 'suspends'. isn't his kid sick again?

Please please please have sobbing children in the shot when he concedes

Yes, she is. xp

He is still on the ballot in Pennsylvania and other states, so unless he endorses Romney or makes similar noises, I will presume this 'suspension' is like a trial seperation and there's a chance he could get back in it. The hospitalization of his kid allows this to play out for him either way without blame.

losing your home state is losing in disgrace

gee rush your headline much

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-04-10/santorum-suspending-bid-for-republican-nomination-person-says

Taking care of your kid is a valid way to go out.

I'm of two minds of this:

1) awesome to have them using up millions on each other before the GE, so the end of that so soon is disappointing

2) the schmuck's entire candidacy was a transmission vector for the continual reinforcement of rightwing horseshit to enter the minds of voters & pundits & media consumers on a daily basis. The more times you travel down certain neural pathways, the deeper the ruts get. Dude promoted the standard victimization and resentment of your 21st-C American Republican, and drew attention to plenty of even-more reactionary fuckheads in the process.

3) should we have a new thread now?

Don't worry there's almost a billion more dollars that Bam and Romney will burn.

xp, person on the teevee said that, did they?

all Republicans rehearse victimhood. Santorum has been a martyr for fifteen years.

the most important election of your lifetime: 2012 american general election thread

Santorum's particular flavor is different than Romney's, tho.

gee rush your headline much

What a quitter. What would he have done if he were president and his daughter was ill? Quit that, too?
