[msanthrope]

So--this was my critique of McGulp Rubio last year....

http://betterment.democraticunderground.com/10022363111


Waiting, waiting.....

[hatrack]

1. Hasn't wrapped yet? How long does it take to scream "Repeal Obamacare!! Freedumzzzz!"

[msanthrope]

2. WHY THE FUCK IS SHE SITTING ON A SOFA THAT LOOKS LIKE DON DRAPER

WOULD HAVE HAD IT IN HIS HOUSE????

[gateley]

25. She's from Kettle Falls.

Kind of like Petticoat Junction.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

100. She's not from Kettle Falls.

Please look at my earlier thread about her.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024397361

[alp227]

33. thankfully i'm listening on NPR so I have no idea about the set.

I'll see photos later.

[msanthrope]

44. She's wearing a sack. I mean it--a sack. Not a business suit. nt

[msanthrope]

71. Unlit fireplace behind her....nt

[CBHagman]

106. Part of tonight's "Mad Men" theme, I suppose.

[elleng]

3. 'They're in your home,

searching for that big job interview.'

Here comes the b.s.

[livetohike]

4. LOL fireside chat and one folded flag n/t

[mrmpa]

116. The flag and the case it is in............

usually denotes that it was the flag draped over the casket of a veteran. Also when it is folded there should only be 3 stars that you can see, not four.

Who was the veteran who died??

[livetohike]

117. As much as she was talking about herself, she probably borrowed it from a deceased relative.

My Mom has my Dad's flag. The whole set was surreal.

[narnian60]

5. Glassy eyes?

[vanlassie]

6. She sounds like she works at Disneyland!!!

[livetohike]

18. ROFL and that fake beauty queen smile n/t

[SummerSnow]

81. " please walk to the end of the aisle"

[Buns_of_Fire]

121. They're doing wonderful things with Audio-Animatronics these days... nt

[NRaleighLiberal]

7. .

[avebury]

8. Hopeful Republican future

rofl: :

She sounds rather Pollyana and delusional.

[demmiblue]

9. She sounds like a pre-school teacher (or a Sunday school teacher)

[femmocrat]

10. Well, Tweety got her name wrong and called her a dem--uh--republican.

He called her Cathy McMurray...then corrected himself.

I think we will all forget her name by tomorrow. She is terrible so far.

[msanthrope]

11. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS CORNPONE SHIT????? 4h Animals got her to college???

What was she doing with them?????

[LiberalFighter]

38. You don't want to know.

[okaawhatever]

47. If the Republican party hierarchy has pictures it would explain a lot..... nt

[msanthrope]

99. Holy Shit.....what happened to the goat? nt

[gateley]

12. As a fellow Washingtonian, I feel qualified to comment:

[MFM008]

26. me 2

jeeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz wrap this hag up.

[MFM008]

58. still waiting

gggggoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
I dont care about your kids.

[pokerfan]

90. Me three

[mucifer]

13. I prefer lurking on this thread than watching a republican spew filth.

Thanks guys for doing what I can't do, watching that crap.

[GoCubsGo]

30. Glad to see I'm not the only one doing that.

A real masochist will watch the other three or four or however the hell many they are giving.

[grantcart]

14. Isn't she the new comic from SNL?

[avebury]

15. If a man gave this same speech, they

guys would throw him out of the leadership club.

[hatrack]

16. Geez, at the one-minute mark, this is really sucking

Evil, evil government.

Evil government making choices for you!

Small towns!

Mom & Dad!!

Evil government!

And did I mention evil, evil government?

[GoCubsGo]

17. I turned it off.

She and her ilk are not welcome in my house. Not in the mood for a pack of filthy lies.

[flamingdem]

19. A Stepford speech!

Who is at the controls?

[importDavid]

20. 4H Animals?

OMFG is this the 1970's?

This is so painful.

[mindwalker_i]

21. What the fuck is she rambling about?

Ouch.

[femmocrat]

32. She reminds me of Palin.

Good grief. She even has a son with Down Syndrome, like Palin. What a weird coincidence.

[mindwalker_i]

49. Yeah, my reaction to that was

So what's your excuse?

[davidpdx]

50. You aren't the only one

I feel the same way. Palinesq type for sure. *blah blah blah*

[movonne]

52. I think Palin would be more interesting...

[magical thyme]

113. maybe if you're dumb enough, even your chromosomes get confused

and don't know which way they're supposed to go...

[msanthrope]

98. She had a Down's baby. So pro-life something. And 4H. nt

[WinstonSmith4740]

22. OK, first lie.

From what I've read here at DU the whole "orchard" thing is a fabrication.

[okaawhatever]

60. Exactly. I can't wait until the media figures that out. Wait, what am I saying. I can't wait until

someone forces the media to acknowledge what is widely known and reported on msnbc.

You should read about the college she went to.

[hatrack]

23. Move over, Michelle Bachman!

There's a new sheriff in Crazytown!

[malaise]

40. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Thread win

[mindwalker_i]

83. No shit!

[LumosMaxima]

24. I think she's confused about what she's supposed to be doing.

She seems to be giving an autobiography more than anything else.

[okaawhatever]

103. An introduction. She may be the vice-presidential nominee for 2016. I think they have her behaving

in a non-threatening docile motherly way so people can't beat up on her. Bachmann and Palin were controversial. They stirred things up, but people didn't mind much when they were ridiculed or challenged. This woman seems to be going for a persona that can't be attacked or challenged. Very Barbara Bush-esque.

[Tanuki]

120. Very true, but what is so odd is that this presentation was something

more appropriate to introducing a candidate's spouse rather than the actual candidate. I think the idea is to tone down the nasty, belligerent GOP male brand in hopes of making it palatable to more women, but I can't imagine that this would really appeal to anyone at all.

[NRaleighLiberal]

27. .

[demmiblue]

28. Sarah Palin redux. Wow!

[mindwalker_i]

89. She certainly gave Jindle a run for his money

Mr. Rogers on crack.

[alp227]

29. CMR's kid dances to Bruce Springsteen...that filthy Northeastern commie lib Bruce Springsteen?

I thought Republican parents kept liberal rock n roll out of reach of children!

[bklyncowgirl]

31. Is she lipsynching?

Seriously there's wrong there.

[msanthrope]

34. Is this what the Republicans think appeals to women???? This is fuckin' appalling. nt

[pscot]

109. It works in Eastern Washington

[avebury]

35. Am I bad to want to laugh? nt

[tallahasseedem]

36. WTF? She is all over the place!

Totally incoherent.

[global1]

51. She Needs A Drink Of Water.....

ala Rubio - she's drying out because she knows she's spewing BS.

[Gemini Cat]

37. WTF is this moron even trying to say?

Blah, blah, blah, drool and fart.

[vanlassie]

39. What is WRONG with her??

[SalviaBlue]

43. I can't watch.

[vanlassie]

65. Sarah was worse. But this is getting to be a pattern.

[WinstonSmith4740]

41. Opportunity Inequality!!!

Who the hell does this woman think she's talking to? She seriously doesn't understand people's reality...she is totally in the Republican Bubble. We've been hearing this warmed over "trickle down" bullshit for over 30 years.

[alp227]

42. And now here come her anti Obamacare BS...

[SummerSnow]

45. These Rethugs always claim they have a "plan" but they never tell you their plan

[LiberalFighter]

46. Premiums for one of your constituent going up $700 monthly??

I call her an efn liar!!

[Boudica the Lyoness]

102. Yes, she is a liar.

She has got away with it for at least 20 years.

Please read this link;

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024397361

[hatrack]

48. The Republicans have plans!

Elect us, put us in office, and I'll tell you what they are then . . . maybe.

This is seriously and truly shitty, on a par with the Rubio Gulp and the Jindal Volcanic Explosion.

[steve2470]

59. Jindal threw up ? lol I'm clueless about this nt

[hatrack]

85. No, he was bitching about federal volcano monitoring . . .

You know, all that wasteful spending, or as he put it, "the volcano of federal spending in Washington."

Then, literally one or two days later, there was a substantial eruption in Alaska (across the inlet from Anchorage) and that wasteful spending that, y'know, diverts airliners away from ash clouds seemed even less silly than when Jindal first brought it up.

[steve2470]

88. oh ok thanks ! nt

[magical thyme]

112. which proves to me that there is a god,

she listens to the rethugs, and has a great sense of humor.

[Chathamization]

78. Oh, they have plans...you better believe, they have plans...

It's kind of amazing that they've gone on so long without any platform. I suppose that's how Herman Cain got so popular...at least 9-9-9 was tangible, albeit idiotic.

[gateley]

53. Uh oh. She's suffering from Marco Rubio Dry Mouth.

Nobody standing by to hand her any water?

[SummerSnow]

68. She won't drink anything...

Rethugs hate water since Michelle Obama said "drink more water"

[SummerSnow]

54. You see how they stay on the ACA

[lordcommander]

55. Is she is swallowing alot???

[msanthrope]

97. too much spit in her mouth--lots of swallowing, and funky hands. nt

[liberalla]

111. I agree on the hands - reveals a lot - - anxiety *help!*

[DainBramaged]

56. My cat is smarter

[TheDonkey]

57. I cannot stomach to watch but the reaction here

Has me rolling on the ground laughing.

[SalviaBlue]

70. Me too.

[Cha]

119. Yeah, I'm a sidelines kinda

gal.. just reading the reviews! Lol

[NRaleighLiberal]

61. Republicans. They open their mouths...and all they can do is lie. Shameless. Amazing.

[Little_Wing]

62. Dude! Nursing degree!

That will totally propel you into the 1% Little known fact: Both Koch brothers have a nursing degree... and they totally rock out to Bruuuuuce!

[livetohike]

63. "Listen to you!" She is so horrible. N/t

[msanthrope]

64. The State of the Union lies in your heart......seriously, if she farted rainbows, I wouldn't be

surprised.....


She's ending with a prayer....

[WinstonSmith4740]

66. WE built the middle class????

The Rethugs fought every brick that built the middle class with everything they had...from minimum wage, to benefits, to Unions, to Social Security, to Medicare. Oh, and she sucks as a speaker.

[Mira]

67. What's with the big 4 blue stars

Are they there to match her dress?
The entire thing is pathetic

[hatrack]

69. A wheelbarrow of bullshit, shoveled by a young Mary Matalin

Goodnight, Representative. Those dreams of higher office? Sorry to inform you, but . . .

Oh, yeah, shoehorn in that gratuitous God reference.

Fuck, that was genuinely awful.

[davidpdx]

72. Let's force religion down your throat

Did you mention god enough?

[bklyncowgirl]

73. Brooklind Brooklind, what the hell is is that?

[msanthrope]

87. Dear sweet jeebus----I think she meant "Brooklyn." nt

[JCMach1]

74. WEAK

that's the best they have on the bench...?

[livetohike]

75. God gave us life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ?

[struggle4progress]

76. Well, that was a big box of empty, with some shiny foil wrapping

[grantcart]

77. Just realized that I went to school with her sister in law

her father was mayor of Spokane.

When my father died in a swimming accident he came to a funeral that had hundreds, on what happened to be election day.

[NRaleighLiberal]

79. if, as Norah O'D says, she is a "rising star" for the party...then...

[LongTomH]

80. snore!!!

[okaawhatever]

82. It's really surprising that she didn't get married until so late in life. As a fundamentalist

Christian who went to a seriously fundamentalist college, I can't believe she wasn't married off very early. That is highly unusual for her background and church beliefs.

[fadedrose]

84. Oh, what a relief

I thought it was an appreciation thread, good thing I looked at it again...

Yes, it was a response, just as you said, and it's a thread. And since it's you in DU, it's official. No lies in Title.

[The Blue Flower]

86. Chuck Todd thought it was great!

So there you go. I have no idea what she actually said.

[msanthrope]

91. Stepford wife gives speech sitting on couch. Someone forgot to light the fire in the fireplace. nt

[hatrack]

94. Even worse, someone forgot and left the camera running . . . .

[hatrack]

93. Uh, no, Chuck

By any standard, it was awful - a poorly wrapped gift box of maudlin God-bothering, words emptied of meaning and eyes freed from any thought.

I wonder what Chuck Todd would make of a Folger's can full of shit?

"Wow, this is really fresh and different - in fact, it could be the new approach the Republicans have been looking for!"

[quakerboy]

92. Just now watching it

So far, she is making a great argument that we really need to push the president far to the left, and completely get rid of the republican party who is constantly pushing to widen the "opportunity gap"

[Boomerproud]

95. Was Peggy Noonan off stage coaching her?

Did Chucky Cheese really think that was genuine?

[davidpdx]

96. I don't have words expect

[rocktivity]

101. Pickles Bush Lives!

The EXACT same stoned out look, voice pattern and demeanor!

rocktivity


(Disclosure: My father's pet name for my mother was "Cabbage.&quot

[jmowreader]

104. I'm trying to figure out the McDonald's reference

She certainly didn't work that drive-thru in Pensacola; the McD's uniform runs afoul of the Pensacola Madrassa's rule that says no woman can take a job requiring slacks.

[TheDonkey]

105. The couch shot was awkward. She did a okay job with delivery

Didn't actually say anything of substance. No details. Cheery platitudes. Awkward couch shot and slow pan close up.

[steve2470]

107. If I was a Republican my intellect would have been insulted by that

Zero content, zero details, vapid platitudes.

No wonder we've won two elections in a row now, woot !

[avebury]

108. That is their main problem. There is no intellect to be found there. nt

[bullwinkle428]

110. I watched 2 minutes, then turned back to "Chopped" on Food Network.

[msanthrope]

115. Wherein the vegetables had more presence....nt

[liberalla]

114. Stepford is an apt reference...

as lousy and phony sounding as she was, she was "less of a disaster" than
the last several years of republiCON responses have been.

Still awful, but "less of a disaster"

[Cha]

118. Cathy McMorris Rodgers: FACT:
