ANOTHER sad, sorry, pathetic Romney videoclip...and Joe Scarborough's priceless reaction.

[WilliamPitt]

Scarborough reaction at 0:55...

I just facepalmed so hard that I can now smell the back of my neck because I pushed my nose through my skull.

[Ichingcarpenter]

1. The Romney team call him Gilligan

and the ryan team call mitt stench.


Stench / Gilligan 2012! (aka what Romney & Ryan call each other now)

http://underthemountainbunker.com/2012/09/26/stench-gilligan-2012-aka-what-romney-ryan-call-each-other-now/

Hadn't seen Mika in years man her hair color is the same as Debi harry in the old days.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

32. that wasn't snark? or the Onion?

for real?

OMFG.

[rurallib]

82. for real

[Hutzpa]

66. Stench/Gilligan it doesn't matter

they're both staying on the island.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

112. And this time it ain't all Gilligan's fault.

[wordpix]

142. off on his own island: get a load of the NYT pic, there's not a soul around except R&R

You would think at this point R&R would not be kicking back on the comfie couches but would be huddling with their people, firing up crowds, walking at a brisk pace, frantically yelling out some commands...instead they're hanging out in an empty room.

Just the ones we need for pres and VP A couple of laid back dudes on a couch with no one around, nothing to do.

[porphyrian]

2. . n/t

[City Lights]

3. LOL!

Love it!

Poor beady-eyed Joe!

[Oilwellian]

4. Will...

I've been giggling like a loon lately. I don't know why, and I just can't seem to stop laughing at this "Roomba stuck in a corner."

[CoffeeCat]

115. Was the "Rooomba" quote used to describe Romney???

That is perfect and it is hilarious!!

I want to laugh, but I will not be able to fully relax until this nightmare is over on election day. After watching Romney for the past several weeks, I'm even more scared. That boy is not right.

[babylonsister]

128. Yes it was; maybe Anna Marie Cox coined that? nt

[calimary]

136. "Roomba stuck in a corner." OMG!!!!!!!! ROFL!!!!

Oh man...

When the candidate or other public figure becomes a joke, he or she is sunk.

That said, THIS THING ISN'T WON YET!!!! Let's NOT get complacent!!! I'm personally as eager to start breathing easier as a lot of people are, here, but I'm afraid to let my guard down.

[calimary]

137. Made me think of that band marching into the dead end alley in "Animal House."

Seems a lot like the wrongney campaign - marching down a side alley off the main street, off the parade route, and straight into a brick wall at the far end.

[grantcart]

5. "Sweet Jesus"

[catbyte]

25. LOL

[Botany]

6. Joe Scarborough ........ Sweet Jesus I'm Fredo out in the boat

[Robyn66]

10. LOVE THIS ONE!! (NT)

[KoKo]

20. LOL's......thanks for that clip!

[Chorophyll]

75. Yep, I liked Joe for a split-second for that "Fredo" line.

But I'm better now.

[wordpix]

141. thanks, I didn't get that line without the clip

love it!!!!

[barbtries]

7. i haven't watched the clip

i'm afraid i'll pity romney if i do and would rather save my pity for those who deserve it. but i'm tempted. i just read in another thread that scarborough actually said "sweet jesus" after watching it.
i may have to watch it.

[WilliamPitt]

11. Watch it.

You won't regret it.

[barbtries]

13. i did

still laughing

[SunSeeker]

26. Me too. You can't feel sorry for such an ASS.

[Duval]

111. Any post by WRP is worth reading. :)

[KoKo]

17. The clip is worth the watch....seriously...

There is something wrong with Romney...and you won't feel sorry for him if you watch it.

[barbtries]

21. i did

and you're right, i don't.

it's so funny.

[xxqqqzme]

96. Ed played it on his

program last night. After the clip he said, 'Jeez that guy has an ego the size of Asia.' But it was almost under his breath, in shock, as if it was the first time he saw the clip.

The addition of Joe's reaction this morning just completes the entire cycle.

[Chico Man]

118. I felt sorry for Romney

Until he opened his mouth

[locdlib]

86. Yes, please watch it.

You won't pity romney. Just remember all of the bs that he has said and you won't pity him not even just a little.

[barbtries]

91. i did,

and i laughed and laughed without one iota of pity for that ASSHOLE.

[Scairp]

97. He said it

And then he asked anyone present who is Catholic to please help him with his Hail Marys. It was a riot.

[barbtries]

99. yeah,

i broke down and watched it. then i cracked up and watched it over. it made me laugh, a lot.

everyone should be praying that this jerk gets nowhere near the presidency.

[JI7]

119. Best Part of it is the Look on Ryan's Face the entire time

[lolly]

127. Well, it could have been worse for Romney

There could have been more than a few dozen people there to see him embarrass himself.

[barbtries]

130. it got worse

now that millions have watched him embarrass himself.

[LynneSin]

8. For those of us at work and can't watch You Tube videos - a summary?

Pretty please

[WilliamPitt]

9. Ryan introduces Romney at a rally.

The crowd yells RYAN RYAN RYAN!

Romney takes the mic and says, "Hey wait, say ROMNEY RYAN ROMNEY RYAN ROMNEY RYAN!

Crowd: Mutter mumble mumble mutter

Cut to Scarborough doing a full double-facepalm...and from behind his hands he says, "Oh...Sweet Jesus..."

They Scar basically compares Romney to Fredo in the rowboat at the end of Godfather II.

It's gold.

[LynneSin]

12. BTW congrats to you and your wife

Can't believe there's gonna be baby WilliamPitts in this world

[WilliamPitt]

46. Thanks!

[Panasonic]

74. ... you SPAWNED?

You did *quit* smoking, didn't you?

[WilliamPitt]

76. I did.

And my alcohol intake has decreased to a point that would shock you.

[Panasonic]

101. And your Diet Coke intake increased?

Welcome to the world of fatherhood - you will have a lot of fun.

<- dad of a 3 year old boy.

[WilliamPitt]

103. Polar Seltzer, pomegranate flavor

No vodka.

...and thanks. Can't wait.

[Duval]

113. Great news!

Best wishes for you and your wife!

[hifiguy]

16. OMG. Gotta watch that with sound

when I get home from work tonight.

[ejbr]

68. You must...

Scar's "Sweet Jesus" is like music..

[Gidney N Cloyd]

31. So Ryan's dad suddenly wants to take him to Reno and he can't go fishing with Uncle Fredo?

[dixiegrrrrl]

42. I did not think my jaw could drop any lower..till now.

Thank god there is a way to make copies of these videos. I am putting "The Romney Sinking" on disc for
hours and hours of comedy re-runs.

[grantcart]

14. Mika starts with an official Romney campaign

announcement that in order to get more enthusiasm on the campaign trail Ryan is going to be travelling with Romney.


Cut to the clip yesterday where Romney and Ryan are together and the crowd spontaneously is yelling Ryan, Ryan, Ryan.


Romney grabs the mike and says "no no its ROMNEY-RYAN, ROMNEY-RYAN" and the crowd goes silent.


Cut back to Joe S who takes his hands and covers his face and says "Sweet Jesus".


It is an instant classic within a classic.

[CoffeeCat]

117. and what also lends to the comedy gold...

...is Romney with that gigantic constipated-anchorman smile plastered to his face--while he's "correcting" the crowd and telling them that it's "Romeny-Ryan."

You know how someone struggles to find their bearings when they're riding a unicycle for the first time? That's what Romney looks like every time he's campaigning. He can't seem to find his groove and he just sort of emotionally gyrates across the stage, while trying to smile through the implosion.

It ain't right.

[barbtries]

15. i'm at work

i SHOULDN'T be watching a you tube video. what i usually do is bookmark the thread then when i'm home i catch up. but this one was actually pretty priceless and i watched it just now. bad on me. hehe

[LiberalAndProud]

18. I'll try.

Clip begins with Romney saying to crowd, "Isn't Ryan a great guy?" Crowd responds by chanting "Ryan Ryan Ryan" Romney interrupts crowd to say, "Wait a minute" and proceeds to lead the chant, "Romney Ryan Romney Ryan! There you go!" (Note, the crowd becomes inaudible.)

Scarborough reacts with a facepalm, "Oh sweet Jesus."

[catbyte]

19. Romney is such an ass that after Romney got the crowd excited that Ryan was there, they of course

began chanting, "Ryan, Ryan, Ryan" then old Mitt shushes them and corrects them, saying, "No, it's ROMNEY, Ryan, ROMNEY, Ryan..."

It was stunningly pathetic. What a tool.

Mom to Taz, Nigel, and baby sister Sammy, members of Dogs Against Romney, Cat Division
"Dogs Aren’t Luggage--HISS!”
and
“THANK YOU, DU, FOR SAVING OUR HOME–PURR!”

[Marr]

45. Is it worth millions of dollars to be that DORKY and LAME?

I think I'd rather just work for a living, given the choice.

[DesertRat]

22. Love it!

[berni_mccoy]

23. LMFAO Train wreck in slow motion...

[NBachers]

34. And here's a representation:

[SaveAmerica]

24. I think he had to wipe tears from his eyes when he uncovered his face

I think he's starting to mourn.

[thucythucy]

27. What was the reference to Newt Gingrich?

[left on green only]

148. Here is my take on that line from Mika.....

She said it right after "The Joe" muttered "Sweet Jesus!"

At first I wondered as well what she was referring to, and then I stopped to consider "The Newt's" hubris in thinking of himself as the rejected savior of our country (as in having been rejected just like Jesus Christ was). So, by her having interjected "The Newt's" name in place of the "Sweet Jesus" reference from "The Joe", she was making another political dig at the right wing, in addition to the one she had already made by showing the original clip of Romney's hubris in trying to exhort an unenthusiastic (rejecting) crowd into stroking his huge ego.

I think what she said is what is known as "piling on", and it is definitely a tribute to her quick wit.

But I could be mistaken. Perhaps there is someone else who has a different take on it.

Upon edit - "wit" instead of "whit".

[thucythucy]

152. Later on in the day I heard

that Newt had been offering Romney debating advice, so maybe she was referring to that? Either way, this a lovely little moment of Republican angst.

[liberalmuse]

28. You know if people were chanting, "Biden Biden Biden!"

President Obama would've loved it. But Romney is so arrogant that he just couldn't let that stand. Dog forbid his own VP "overshadow" him even for a few seconds. What an ass.

These days, Romney reminds me of the guy who is a jerk sober, that you one day find drunkenly walking around with his dick hanging out. You aren't sure that telling him is going to make him put it back in his pants, so you find yourself in a quandary. At the same time, you can't help but feel a little schadenfreude, revulsion and some guilt for thinking it's funny. Then you remember what a tool he is sober, so you keep your mouth shut and carry on. Embarrassing!

[mac56]

39. +1000

Stealing!

[treestar]

59. That's what catbyte's post got me thinking

Rmoney should have stayed quiet and let them chant "Ryan" for a while, but he could not do that!

[ejpoeta]

151. probably because he knows they don't really want him. they'd rather have ryan

running instead. he feels insecure.

[rhiannon55]

69. LOL--I almost choked on my toast.

I read your post and laughed out loud, startling the dog. Thanks!

[progressivebydesign]

81. and Romney's lack of personality is classic.

He's like "hey,... trying to be an ordinary guy" but he sounds like a bad DJ at a morticians convention.

[nxylas]

134. He has a personality, a deeply unpleasant one

"I'm the star of the show, dammit! Me! Me! Me!"

He hasn't changed a bit since his days of forcibly cutting a gay kid's hair or dressing up in a State Trooper's uniform for kicks.

[LiberalLovinLug]

100. Thats what I was thinking too

Especially when Romney set Ryan up for the cheers by fawning praise on him in front of the crowd. What did he expect?

I cannot even imagine the gracious President Obama not just smiling at Joe and standing back. To think that Obama would quickly run to the mike and say something that comes off as "hold on here, this is supposed to be about ME, I'm on the top of the ticket....OBAMA Biden...OBAMA Biden...".....that's just not in his character at all.

[JI7]

120. even McCain was fine with the Enthusiasm Palin was getting, as long as he would get the votes

because these guys want to be PResident for a reason. as much as you disagree with McCain you know he thought he would do something great for the country.

but what is Romney's purpose ? in that video he pretty much says he isn't going to try on things like middle east conflict, forget about half the american people.

[MuseRider]

29. I am not sure what is more pathetic

Romney or Joe.

I laughed until I wheezed and my poor husband hurt his newly healed sternum!

[Pirate Smile]

30. Ha - Joe tries to say a "Hail Mary" but he only knows the first line or two because he's not

Catholic.

[pinto]

35. LOL. I think what he was looking for was "Aggh, Jesus, Mary 'n Joseph!"

[Pirate Smile]

44. I thought that was where he was headed or - the standard "Jesus H. Christ!!!"

but he kind of wandered into to something else.

Are Catholics the only ones who say the Hail Mary? I'd never even thought of that before. I'm grew up Catholic surrounded by mostly Catholics so sometimes I'm not sure if something i consider more wide-spread is actually more limited.

[gopiscrap]

67. I'm pretty sure Roman Catholics are the only one's who pray the "Hail Mary"

the prayer goes like this:
"Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at
the hour of our death. Amen"

the reason Protestants don't use it is because they pray directly to God, Jesus, Holy Spirit and don't believe in using an inteccesor.

[Pirate Smile]

85. Oh, I could recite that one in my sleep. Catholic Schools & Rosaries make it something you could

never forget.

[gopiscrap]

89. Yup I had 8 years of a Catholic School education

if you forgot how to say the Hail Mary the nun would come up and slap you...so yes like a scared animal, you never forgot!

[tblue37]

98. Nope--Episcopalians do, too. nt

[gopiscrap]

109. I was wondering about that and the Greek and other National Orthodox denominations might also do it!

[crunch60]

133. You forgot, "blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.

Hey, 14 years of Catholic school here..I know my Hail Mary! lol

[JHB]

77. Coming from a Catholic (mostly Irish, some Italian & Puerto Tican) family, none would say that.

The conservatives would say "Sweet Jesus" just like Joe or "Jesus H Christ!"


The others would say "Bwahahahahahahaha!"

[kathman-duzi]

33. Romney is going for the underdog sympathy vote now and Ryan is hating it!

Did you see the signage in the background of the clip? "America's Comeback Team". Come back from where?

Mitt couldn' stand Ryan getting any attention and it showed so well in this clip.

[Third Doctor]

36. I think I will save it in my favs on Youtube.

The repubs deserve what they get and I almost felt sorry for Joe but that died down real quick. We can't let all the good news make us complacent though. We have to vote.

[avebury]

37. That is just too funny!

[Rose Siding]

38. I LOVE it -Just reaction, no discussion, no attempt to explain or spin, no denial.

Romney's real and lasting legacy may be that he united -finally!- our perception, left and right, of disaster: Him!

[dixiegrrrrl]

49. Yep. Both sides are now re-evaluating Palin, who seems like a Mensa member

compared to MiTwit.

[one_voice]

40. OMG...this is so great...

Scar's reaction is priceless!!! I watched it three times. Robme is so freakin' arrogant. A crowd cheering for Biden would never bother Obama, hell he'd probably encourage it.

Sweet Jesus...LOLOLOLOL...then the Hail Mary...

[UCmeNdc]

41. LMAO!

[AlbertCat]

43. God ain't gonna help any of y'all.

[Joe Bacon]

47. R-Money just gets Ass-holeier with each passing day!

[Liberalagogo]

48. I think it was sad

That people were actually cheering for Ryan.

[arcane1]

50. K&R

[myrna minx]

51. That was satisfying!

[Egalitarian Thug]

52. K&R&LOL n/t

[allan01]

53. re:ANOTHER sad, sorry, pathetic Romney videoclip...and Joe Scarborough's priceless reaction.

this has been my fav video response to mitwit lately i feel it is apropo
on edit : funny that the crowd starts chanting ryan! ryan ! ryan, and mitwit hijacks the thing and the crowd goes silent priceless.

[Poll_Blind]

54. You couldn't buy a better anti-Romney ad. The best things in life are free!

I'm kind of beside myself. Romney is a much bigger asshole, a much bigger egotist than I think many (including me) realized.

HUGE ego. Totally pointless comment for him to make. Very out of touch.

PB

[Arugula Latte]

55. Comedy gold! And as usual Mika looks like her neighbor died a few days ago and she's starting

to smell a strange odor wafting into her apartment.

[liberal N proud]

56. TOO TOO Funny!

[nolabear]

57. +1,000 for "Im Fredo out in the boat"

Stenchy, we hardly knew ye.

[Smilo]

58. Help me...........

I am starting to feel sorry for Romney - he is like the village idiot who can't help himself.

[Arugula Latte]

62. I was starting to feel the same way. But then I thought of all the workers whose jobs he slashed

so he could enrich himself by tens of millions more dollars and then that feeling stopped.

[AllyCat]

60. Classic!!! This is great stuff!

[gopiscrap]

61. This was priceless, I've watched it about 15 times!!!!

it should be made into a campaign commercial for Obama

[H2O Man]

63. #91 Recommendation.

I saw it this morning. Hilarious.

[gademocrat7]

64. Holy cow!

That was too funny. Thank you, Mr. Pitt.

[George II]

65. Joe Scarborough may be a right-wing conservative Republican but...

...unlike most he's never been shy to criticize his own people when they've screwed up. I have to give him a lot of credit for that.

[gateley]

84. Plus he's a big Joe Biden fan, which buys him a lot slack in my book. :-)

[mike dub]

70. In watching this clip, I think Paul Ryan even now realizes what a loser Rmoney is...

Lyin' Ryan has a strained look on his face throughout this clip. This is the first time I've noticed Ryan looking outright uncomfortable next to Rmoney. To me, Ryan looks like he's now starting to wonder how he ever got hooked up with that dweeb. (Ed., bigger dweeb than himself, that is)

[april]

71. Priceless

[ErikJ]

72. Secret life of Walter Mitty

[longship]

73. Romney will make like Snagglepuss

Exit stage left:

[KurtNYC]

78. Romney: "THAT's quite a guy. Isn't IT ?"

Paul Ryan is an "it" to Romney. The dude is too weird.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

106. Yes Ryan IS a rodent (it)

[yurbud]

79. the reaction from Republican Joe Scarborough is even worse than the clip!

Which tells you how much the GOP knows they have a dud on their hands.

[proReality]

80. OMG, I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying.

It just gets better and better. Or is that worser and worser?

[budkin]

83. He made an ass of himself today too

Telling his own supporters not to expect much tax relief so that businesses could.

[M_M]

87. Remember when Rs-holes made fun of Mike Dukakis riding in a tank?

Sweet Vengeance!

[skypilot]

88. As funny as that was...

...it was also a little scary. This is what the Republican base has come to. As scary as the presidential candidate is, these folks want the even scarier running mate. They were more fired up over Sarah Palin than over John McCain and now this. The Republicans of the Bush/Cheney era look downright sane by comparison. At least those Republicans consistently gave Dick Cheney low approval ratings.

[Poll_Blind]

93. You got that right. A scary little window into how Romney thinks. nt

PB

[Son of Gob]

90. He's wearing a Daytona 500 Jacket! And he's in Dayton, OH

You can't make this stuff up folks.

[barbtries]

94. he's so funny.

i have to admit this though: i had to ask a co-worker where the daytona 500 takes place!

[Habibi]

92. I couldn't watch the whole thing,

because, like Barbtries, I have a habit of feeling sympathy for people getting humiliated (even if those people are assholes). But I caught the last few milliseconds of the Chant That Failed and watched the rest of the clip. Mika looked like she was working very hard not to burst into giggles. I also loved her comment that "It's too late" for a Hail Mary.

[alfredo]

95. So Paul Ryan is now Romney's fluffer. I just grossed myself out.

[Waiting For Everyman]

102. I like Ed Rendell's grin. (at about :59)

And of course all of it. "Fredo out in the boat"... priceless!

[DevonRex]

105. I KNOW!!! Anybody who's watched The Godfather

just knows the last word is death not peace. And death is exactly where the Romney campaign is right now. Just give it the last rites and baptize Ryan a Mormon and move on.

[DevonRex]

104. It's Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

I shouldn't laugh. But he knew which one he should quote.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

107. Oh-My-God!

[BootinUp]

108. placeholder post for viewing when I ain't at work

[kentuck]

110. I saw that !

Very funny. Sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from crying...

[thelordofhell]

114. Quick!! Get Sheldon on the phone!! Mitt needs another 10 million!!

Throw money at it!! It's Evil!!!

[yellowcanine]

116. Ed Rendell was priceless as the cat that swallowed the canary.

Just sat there grinning.

[skeewee08]

121. I watched this video like 10 times

and I keep laughing harder & harder....

[mountain grammy]

122. As long as Mittens has been in politics

this is unimaginably bad.

[secondvariety]

123. Maybe if Mitt

took up tap dancing or some old vaudeville routines....

[lexw]

124. Mitt is seriously messed up.

[powergirl]

125. Thank you for making my day

I have smiling like a crazy woman and I thank you for this post.

[zanana1]

126. This is the Roger Simon article about Stench and Gilligan.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81618.html scroll down on the right until you come to Roger Simon's article. It made my day.

[geckosfeet]

129. Ohhhh yeah! That's the best! Drowning in their own misery.

[fascisthunter]

131. he's definitely cracking up

that was embarrassing!

[wordpix]

140. I saw it Labor Day when he called the press back for an event, which was to leave the boat dock

and drive around on his boat and a jet ski. Whoop de doo.

[barnabas63]

132. I saw it live..an absolute classic piece of film.

I like how Willie keeps a pretty straight face...lol.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

135. We can thank Romney for one thing,....

....he's made the normally arrogant Scarborough have 47% smaller balls....

[crispini]

138. Hee. That was epic.

[wordpix]

139. then there's the interview with Queen Anne saying Rmoney takes cold showers b/c he's too cheap to

turn the hot water back on when he gets back home after a trip (yes, he turns off the hot water when he leaves, which my plumber told me never to do).

Can you believe this $250 millionaire who evades taxes across the planet takes cold showers to save a few dollars?

Pathetic. Sweet Jesus.

[Logical]

143. Jesus, failure!

[BellaKos]

144. It's obvious.

There's something terribly wrong with Mittens.

He tied a dog to the roof of his car.
He's been running for President for six years.

I rest my case.

[cilla4progress]

145. That's what happens

when candidacies go to the highest bidder.

How do you like it now, rethugs?

[tavalon]

146. It's really hard to watch Romney behaving like a spoiled toddler

Did he skip nap time today? Geez.

[Amonester]

147. Oh boy... If SNL doesn't come out with the GOLDEN Sketch Comedy with this one...

I dunno who will!!!!

And little gilligan's reaction there??? OMG!!!

Like he's soooo embarrassed he looks like he doesn't know what to do with his hands!!

Can't wait to see what these pathetic clowns ROMNEY-ryan will come up with tomorrow!

PRICELESS!

[flyguyjake]

149. How cute... Mittens wants to be on "Top" ... Bottoms up Ry Ry!

[Monk06]

150. The first time I've seen Mika Brzezinski in action. Her deadpan introduction to the clip amplified

Romney's social incompetence to the point of cruelty. Scarborough was caught completely off guard. Beautiful. And the two poor stiffs opposite were fighting the urge to bring up their breakfast.

She's a pistol almost as good as Rachel. Almost which means very very good.

Edit to add notice just after the Mittster's over the top praise of Ryan, Ryan holds his palm out as if to say, "Shut up before you say too.......fuck too late."

Romney's lack of ability to react quickly and appropriately in casual settings, like pressers and photo ops, is going to cost him dearly in the debates. Barack Obama will do what Mike did in the above clip. He will peel Romney's skin off like a ripe banana.
