Again, why do STers insist on ignoring the fact that these incidents are funny, and that is a major reason they have traction? -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 11:42 1
- Why do you ignore that often times whether something is funny or not depends on who it's happening to? - Stephen, Signing his NLI to play for ST Feb 19, 12:09
This is true. Both both make the GOP look like has-been dinosaurs. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:23 15
- water? I am no fan of this guy's politics, but this is ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 11:24 13
  - This is kinda like Hanson Day, loosi. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 11:26
  - Have you seen the clip? Dude has no business doing that on a national broadcast. It smacks of underpreparedness, like so many dried tongues. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:25 11
    - yes. He looked stupid, but to be still talking about it a week later? -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 11:26 10
      - It has traction because it's funny -- nm - con_carne Feb 19, 11:29 4
        
        It has traction because he's a Republican. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:31 3
        
        Not to put too fine a point on it, but the Republicans did have a lot more at stake on the night of the SOTU than Obama did - con_carne Feb 19, 11:33
        
        Because of the Liberal Press? -- nm - amoxy Feb 19, 11:32 1
        
        I wouldn't put all the blame on that, no. - Strongbad Feb 19, 11:34
      - To be talking about *it*, instead of the dogmatic crap he spewed, means that their strategy is working. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:26 4
        
        Any press you can walk away from... -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 11:30
        
        Yeah, even by Republican standards the speech was a remarkable collection of empty, cliched platitudes. -- nm - mara Feb 19, 11:29
        
        whose strategy? -- nm - loosilu Feb 19, 11:28 1
        
        The dinosaurs. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:32
- (but both. Whatever. I should be working, anyway.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:23
