How hard is it to run a manifesto through a speech synthesizer and upload it to YouTube? Even to obscure the account that delivered the video?
It’s bad enough to place yourself on a level with the Chief Executive, and order him about. What is worse will be when he gaffs you right off. Are you really going to try the Stratfor treatment? In a way, your feckless orders are as bad as campaign promises, Anonymous. The suspicion is that there won’t be any delivery.
How about applying your talent in a Tea Party mode? Let’s flog the GOP into something useful. Hiding behind opaque pointers is all fun and games on Slashdot; it’s not how adults set about driving improvement.
HOLLIS, N.H.
At tonight’s Hillsborough County GOP dinner I had the enormous pleasure of meeting Mary Anne and Abby Huntsman:
For all the grief I’ve given “Governor Asterisk” in the past several months, I must confess that his daughters were not only lovely, but also quite gracious. I gave them one piece of advice: “Whatever you do, don’t turn into Meghan McCain.”
They laughed: “Don’t worry about that!”
UPDATE (Smitty): Welcome, Instapundit readers! If I may pile on the advice, Chelsea Clinton might be worth a wide berth.
This has NSFW potty mouth, but builds to a fine conclusion:
Having the viewer substitute a contemporary figure for Adolf alters the game a little bit. The contrast between Mitt’s wax museum facade and Adolf’s apocalyptic meltdown is spectacular here. I prefer casting Hitler as a senior diabolical mastermind, packing plenty of evil, but still needing to watch his six and please his truly evil overlords, e.g. Soros.
Perhaps if the blogs crank out enough of these parodies, the GOP will have an epiphany and realize that Progressivism needs to rejoin its old boyfriend Naziism on the scrap heap of history, and set about restoring liberty in this country.
NASHUA, N.H.
Massive media mayhem here at the Hillsborough County Republican Party dinner at the Crowne Plaza, where Newt Gingrich was swarmed by the press:
Rick Santorum also spoke, but I’ll upload that later.
Somewhere amid this frenzied crowd scene is
The Only Man Who Can Save Liberty in America
NASHUA, N.H.
Ron Paul just concluded a rally here in the hangar at Nashua Jet Aviation and the crowd was enormous. Afterwards, I talked to three young guys who drove up from New Jersey for the chance to see their hero. They’ve been Paulistas since 2007 and I told them, honestly, it’s good to see kids excited about liberty.
There will be a Ron Paul press conference in about 10 minutes. Here’s a photo of Paul’s fans doing their thing outside last night’s Rick Santorum event in Windham.
UPDATE: Some post-rally photos:
The afternoon sun — or, quite possibly, his own beatific radiance — highlights Ron Paul as he gives a press conference after his rally at the Nashua Jet Aviation hangar.
Pete Da Tech Guy interviews a Ron Paul supporter. Note the trademark Sicilian hand gesture.
UPDATE II: It’s always nice to run into a familiar fact on the campaign trail. In this case, it’s my libertarian buddy John LaBeaume:
John’s nickname for me is “Hate Crime.” My nickname for him is “Melungeon.” While I was sitting here working, he kept up a non-stop patter of jokes about me being the secret ghostwriter of certain newsletters. The dude is hilarious, but also a brilliant political analyst.
UPDATE III: Here’s another familiar face, Garrett Quinn of the Boston Globe and WRKO, interviewing a young Ron Paul supporter:
Say what you will about Ron Paul, no other Republican candidate inspires such fanatical enthusiasm. Here is video of the crowd inside the hangar chanting, “President Paul!”
The latest Rasmussen poll of New Hampshire primary voters: Mitt Romney 42%, Ron Paul 18%, Rick Santorum 13% and Jon Huntsman 12%. If Huntsman gets 12% in New Hampshire, I’ll be shocked beyond words.
And now, I’ve got to hit the road with Pete Da Tech Guy to the Hillsborough County GOP dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, where Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum will speak tonight. Hit the freaking tip jar!
I must leap to the defense of #OccupyResoluteDesk:
He’s a lover, not a fighter.
He was late for a tea time.
Princess Pelosi, Plugs Biden, and the Bent Reid told him that it was in there.
Cruella Sebelius thinks Eric Cantor deleted it out of spite, because it had been put on page 2212 of the legislation by some obscure lobbyists known as the Priests of the Temples of Syrinx.
We have to crater American health care, and really put the ‘boom’ in Baby Boomers, so that the people beg for the public option. It’s really all about the begging, not health care, you see.
Tell you what, Darcy: become New Hampshire governor and just knock your little booties off with that public option.
Aside: Wikipedia likes to list Rush as ‘Progressive Rock’. Sad, impotent little Progressives, always looking for ways to mooch off of producers. Unless the Temples of Syrinx, themselves, are the ultimate destiny of Progress. . .
