(53,661 posts)He mooned the TV every time they appeared.
His wife had to keep the living room curtains closed whenever he started watching.

(7,887 posts)Not the mooning, just the yelling.

(90,827 posts)One of the few laughs I had during the GWD era was the thread here where folks detailed their various methods of dealing with the stress of having Dubya appear on the tv screen.
Mooning was one. Screaming, cursing, throwing the remote, wearing out the remote in an effort to silence him and his minions....

(38,187 posts)My aunt broke I don't know how many remote controls and other various objects around her hurling them at the TV anytime Shrub came on. Not only that, I learned that you can string many cuss words together that I had never heard spoken (shouted) together before.
I just always turned the channel when Shrub came on, lol. I couldn't stand even the sight of his face if the volume was muted.

(26 posts)That is hilarious and smart. Who wants to look at Romney's face and his permanent
fake smile that he does.

(4,079 posts)What I really need is a way to MUTE half of the TV. My hubby won't (wouldn't) watch the debates because he gets nauseous whenever Rmoney speaks. So, for his health's sake we had to keep the TV turned off.

(66 posts)That's so clever. Why didn't I think of that. I don't have a cupboard door but I could I have thought of something to use. That way I wouldn't have to see that arrogant smirk of his.

(21,195 posts)If my Dad were alive today he would probably do the same thing. Whenever he referred to republicans he always added, "dirty stinking lousy republicans". My Grandfather voted for Eisenhower and my Dad didn't talk to him for 2 weeks!

(23,297 posts)I did use the PIP feature and would switch back and forth from the ballgame to the debate. I put the 2nd channel feed right over Willard's face. I could see when Obama was talking and I would switch back.

(9,771 posts)it get pretty far ahead. Then, whenever Mittwit speaks, I fast forward. I just don't need to hear his lies and arrogance. He revolts me and angers me and I end up with high blood pressure and nausea. And I end up hearing most of that anyway when I watch the commentary and read about it later.
