Heads up: "TV's Frank" Conniff (MST3K) has been riffing some tasty political commentary on Facebook

I saw a little thing in the sidebar suggesting that I subscribe to his posts.

Here's the link to his page: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1045790390

He's been riffing all night on Super Tuesday:

To ensure that it will never be attacked during a Republican administration, Iran is changing its name to "Rush Limbaugh."

Frank Conniff
Gingrich just said "You can't make this stuff up." As his ex-wives will tell you, Newt is an expert at making stuff up.

Frank Conniff
Gingrich caught napping on tape. If he never woke up, he'd be the most appealing GOP candidate by far.

Shit! My TV just died, the screen went completely blank... Oh, wait, it's just Mitt Romney giving a speech. Never mind.

I'll use my fake account


And then there's Peter Bergman, of Firesign Theater, and his commentary about things like Super Tuesday:

WHAT’S SO SUPER ABOUT SUPER TUESDAY?

Choosing between the four horse’s asses of the apocalypse

The second shoe falls and lands in Ann Romney’s mouth

We are the many, you are the few

Take heart, dear friends; we are passing through the darkening of the light

Always good stuff.

Frank and a few of the old MST3K crew were involved in Air America's early days.

I was driving down Main Street in Winsted, CT (R. Nader's home town and one town over from home) and saw a California plate that read:

MST 3000

Gave her a thumbs up which I hope she caught in her rear view.

I'm so glad it had a long run and the troupe is still carrying on.

Keith Olbermann is a big Mystie, too!

They also snuck in an occasional Zappa reference, which made me a fan for life.

Keep circulating the tapes!

and "I'm in Michigan. Mitt Romney is full of shit, the trees are NOT the right height! It's almost as if he was pandering."

The fact that he was on one of my favorite shows of all time is a bonus.

Too bad the guy who replaced Joel (the FAR, FAR better talent) on the S.O.L. is a rightwing asshat.
