    Oy. Reminds me of Alito’s wife who sat and blubbered during his nomination hearings.

    All spouses of politicians and political appointees should be made to watch the Watergate hearings and focus on Maureen Dean. The gold standard.

    Suzie!

    At least Ann Romney has always been proud of her country and never authored a racist thesis.

    When I started watching this, my fiancee questioned me and had to be caught up on the internet sensation that was “Leave Britney alone!”. After watching that and then this, my face hurts and I think my mouse is broken.

    “HE’S A MORMON!!! with ONLY ONE WIFE!!!”

    The dumb leftwingers have no idea what this video is a play on. Although Poodle might know. The original is probably his hero.

    Oy. Reminds me of Alito’s wife who sat and blubbered during his nomination hearings.

    Honey, this isn’t real. She’s an actor. Just like Colbert, Stewart, Fey, Chris Matthews — all the people you get news from. They’re all stand-up clowns in your fantasy land.

    Dean. The gold standard.

    OK, that’s like……40 years ago. Dang, you have to be pretty old to bring up that chestnut.

    ….Romney’s wife, Ann, was in attendance, and the candidate spoke of the concern he had for her when her plane had to make an emergency landing Friday en route to Santa Monica because of an electrical malfunction.

    “I appreciate the fact that she is on the ground, safe and sound. And I don’t think she knows just how worried some of us were,” Romney said. “When you have a fire in an aircraft, there’s no place to go, exactly, there’s no — and you can’t find any oxygen from outside the aircraft to get in the aircraft, because the windows don’t open. I don’t know why they don’t do that. It’s a real problem. So it’s very dangerous. And she was choking and rubbing her eyes. Fortunately, there was enough oxygen for the pilot and copilot to make a safe landing in Denver. But she’s safe and sound.”….

    Figures an 0bama ad would precede this garbage. I guess he figures folks who like Chris Crocker are also 0bama voters.

    my fiancee

    What a surprise. A construction worker with a live-in.

    Can we also assume JMWhite:

    1. Lives in a mobile home?
    2. Has a German Shepherd tied to the clothesline pole out back?
    3. Has a junker up on blocks in the driveway
    4. Has live-in named ‘Crystal’ or “Amber” who is at least 10 years younger than he is?
    5. Consumes a minimum of 12 beers at a sitting?
    6. Has a great deal of difficulty with Mondays
    7. Gets paid in cash?
    8. Doesn’t report a majority of his income to the IRS?
    9. Runs through three packs of Marlboro Light 100s a day?
    10. Is super skinny?
    11. Has never worn shorts?

    “OK, that’s like……40 years ago”

    I’m surprised suze got so close on the date. Nice job with Goggle. We all know suze had no idea who Maureen Dean was.

    The video is spot on. The Romney campaign is in tatters. I guess Mittens felt “entitled” to the job and we would just bow down and give it to him. We’re not your daddy Mittens, there you give you anything you want. You gotta Americans trust to get our votes.

    You fail.

  11. J.M.White | September 25, 2012 at 12:05 am

    Ha! This is great! You’re the gift that keeps on giving, Suzie.

    a) Not working construction.
    b) Fiancee has not moved in yet.
    1. Live in an apartment with a professional IT roommate.
    2. Have two skittish, extremely large orange tabby cats.
    3. Every vehicle in my driveway is fully functional.
    4. Fiance is two years younger than me and holds neither of those names in either form.
    5. Drink three to four beers at a sitting once or twice a month.
    6. I’m on call 24/7 – Monday is just another day to me.
    7. Take my check to the bank every week.
    8. Report every last penny and don’t take any deductions – quite proud of that one, actually.
    9. Nailed the brand but a pack lasts me three days and I’ve promised two beautiful little girls that I would quit before Christmas.
    10. 5’11″ – 175 lbs. – I’m what you call “fit”. I work for a living, remember?
    11. I pretty much spend more free time in the water than I do on land. I’m in shorts now. Boxers count, right?

    That is truly amazing, “girl”. You managed to be incorrect on every single point you’ve had with me today. If blogging was a sport, your coach would’ve sent you to the showers by now. Do you remember those couple of times when I defended you because you were right about whatever inane topic you were on about that day? Let’s try more of that. This is getting boring. We could at least have a good sparring match instead of you just tumbling down a rocky cliff on your own.

    Oh noes! I mixed metaphors! …and now I’ve used an internet-meme, made-up word! Here comes the [incorrect] correction…

    It’s kind of sad when you think about it. The election is six weeks away, and there is no suspense left. Mitt’s predicament is so desperate that, just to get attention, he’s been reduced to saying ridiculous things like airliners ought to have roll-down windows.

    That’ll be a good one for SNL on Saturday.

  13. Dan Casey | September 25, 2012 at 12:17 am

    JM, Suze is incredibly, indescribably lonely. She makes provocative stuff up just to get attention. This blog is her only life, beyond the discount car rental stand at the airport and the Rush show. And she’s actually a balding he, who’s longing for a date with a Amanda Pflugard type, but who’s way too shy to ask.

    “Here’s the original:”

    Thanks to Butch, (who in the video looks like he could use a cheeseburger) for reminding us this election is really about Social Security and Medicare. Are you going to let Romney/Ryan steal the money you’ve paid in to the program all your life and hand it to the fat-cats on Wall Street to lose? Make no mistake this is an all-out class war, it’s us against them. Make sure your vote counts.

  16. Warren | September 25, 2012 at 1:31 am

    Dan, SNl is having another Thursday night special this week, (I missed the one last week), and I think they may use more of their political stuff there than on the Sat. show. And while I’ve often thought the SNL writing staff mindset was too insular and the comedy suffered as a result, with such big targets as Rmoney and Faux News they almost can’t help but be hilarious.

  17. Contrasuzie | September 25, 2012 at 1:43 am

    OMG! This video is hilarious!! My sides ache from laughing! And just when I started to catch my breath, the thought occurred to me of pammalapdog making this video, crying, “LEAVE SUZIE ALONE!” and I went into another fit of laughter! Thanks for this one, Dan!

  18. Suzie | September 25, 2012 at 8:14 am

    She makes provocative stuff up just to get attention. This blog is her only life,

    Think about this one for a minute, champ. Then think about your own life.

  19. Lake Claytor | September 25, 2012 at 8:14 am

    If I had to pick one entry/blog to sum up the entire Dan Casey blog, this would be it.

    Classic Dan Casey.

  20. Kristen | September 25, 2012 at 9:58 am

    Lake.

    LEAVE DAN ALONE.
    :)
