I've figured it out...Romney is a parrot. What ever he hears, he copies.

[shraby]

No matter what it is, even if someone tells him he needs to say the opposite the next day...he just parrots the new line.

1. Insulting to parrots. He's more like a ventriloquist's dummy.

5. Beat me to it--that's it! nt

2. Max Headroom

3. Hah, there's a resemblance

except Max was "cool"

[longship]

4. Curse you, Vinca! You beat me to it.

Indeed, Rmoney is nothing but a ventriloquist dummy. Er,... dare I spell it d-u-m-b-y.

Slow on the up chuck today.

8. I call him " Howdy Doody"

just not sure who Bob is ~~~~

I can't think of a Republican smart enough to pull his strings.

9. I prefer Knucklehead Smith.

The best ventriloquist on TV in the fifties, Paul Winchell. Notably, he had a long career as a voice character. But if you are old enough to remember Rowan and Martin Laugh In you may remember the ventriloquist whose dummy always died mid performance. That was also Paul Winchell.

I love the ventriloquist meme for Rmoney. It's perfect. Especially with Winchell's exquisite dying dummy exposition on Laugh In.

11. Do you think he will use a

device on his back to give him the answers during the debate like GW did ~

6. "There is an idea of a Patrick Bateman; some kind of abstraction...

something illusory. And though I can hide my cold gaze, and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... I simply am not there"

7. He sees the Queen Of Diamonds

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Manchurian_Candidate


"It is revealed that the Communists have been using Shaw as a sleeper agent, a guiltless assassin subconsciously activated by seeing the “Queen of Diamonds” playing card while playing solitaire. Provoked by the appearance of the card, he obeys orders which he then forgets. Shaw’s KGB handler is his domineering mother Eleanor, a ruthless power broker working with the Communists to execute a "palace coup d’état" to quietly overthrow the U.S. government, with her husband, McCarthy-esque Senator Johnny Iselin, as a puppet dictator."
