backing up into the rooms and hallways.

On second thought, this is probably the same type of experience.

Of course - now that I think of it - a week on this ship could make my usual impediments seem like child's play!

The old, all white, out of touch cruise. (Yes, I am white, I am old; will be 60 this month, but I have zero in common with these people.)

I don't want this country to go in the direction these people are trying to take it.

That would be a severe punishment, not a vacation !!!!!

but with more information, even if from Cracked.com, I'm inclined to do something more landlocked. I've never been too thrilled about being on a large cruise line anyway.

I'd prefer a smaller, 30 person yacht or something.

At 1'20" the man says this cruise "gives him great hope for the future of the 'Conservative Party.'"

"Conservative Party?"

He can't even say "the word!"

C'mon, now: say it! SAY IT!!!

R...R...Re...Re...Rep...REPUBLICAN!!!

There! That wasn't hard, was it?

Thanks for posting - this was laughable and showcases the direction the conservative movement is going... dying off, lost, no rudder and feeding off old money.

I too thought it was a parody, but it's for real! People so insular and vile they have to make even taking vacations abroad an a sterile bubble. Amazing.

Would it be wrong to go undercover? Most of the conversations would be utter bullshit, but with some pretty well connected conservative people on the boat, there would bound to be "47%" moments to be captured on video.
