Another Reality TV Star Throws his Hair Into the Ring

Trump Electrifies CPAC 

February 10, 2011

Let's see, there's Palin 

 

And Huckabee

 

Now Trump?

 

Are the Republicans going to come up with any candidate who isn't a reality TV personality?

 Here's "FOXNation's" take on Trump's CPAC appearance:

If CPAC is a primary for self-confidence, Donald Trump won hands down.
The real-estate mogul with a genius for self-promotion gave the most-acclaimed - and most colorful - speech at the conservative gathering this afternoon, from the moment he took the stage to the song "Money, Money, Money."

By the way, that "Continue Reading," that's not a link. You don't have to click on that text to get the rest of the article. That's apparently just a reminder to FOXNation readers to continue sounding out all the letters to make words.  Look:

With no visible sense of irony, he slammed libertarian Ron Paul as a losing hopeful who can't capture the brass ring and got booed by some for it, said our current president came 'out of nowhere," and quoted a business magazine's story about what a terrific entrepreneur he himself is.

See? "Continue Reading" is just sitting there like they thought that they needed something to fill in the empty space between paragraphs.


But anyway. . . .

Yet he was by far the best-received speaker and the audience lapped up his act, as he read some of a prepared speech and used his hands to punctuate his words.

Ooh, him use hands! Hands make words easier to understand.  Me lap up act!

Here's more from POLITICO:

CPAC to Trump: You're hired!

(honestly, who still writes headlines like that?)

"It's a wonderful forum and an honor to be here," he said. "While I'm not at this time a candidate for the presidency, I will decide by June whether or not I will become one and I will tell you the reason that I'm thinking about it is the US has become a whipping post for the rest of the world. The world is treating us without respect, they are not treating us properly."

Hmm, what could the hair-troll's suggestion be for getting a little respect back for the US?

Hmm,  I wonder. . .

". . . if I run and if I win this country will be respected again":

 

You know, it's hard to decide what is the most respect-garnering aspect of the Trump legacy. Maybe the multiple bankruptcies? The public pissing match with Rosie O'Donnell? The second career as a poor man's Jeff Probst? The menagerie of classy drag-queen-resembling women?

 

Either way, it all adds up to one word: Presidential

Terrible Marketing - Seagram's Ginger Ale

There is a billboard down the street from the Chaos Compound which advertises Seagram's Ginger Ale with the tagline "Crisp, Clean, No Caffeine." It's too cold to go out and take a picture of it to prove it and I can't find an image of it online, but it's there, I'm telling you. I'm Not Crazy!

So, do they think that we don't remember the 7-Up campaign from the 1980's?





Crisp and clean, no caffeine. That was 7-Up's line. Does Seagram's hope that people who like 7-Up will get confused and buy Seagram's Ginger Ale instead? Or do they just think that thewre's a huge untapped ginger ale market among the under-thirty crowd?

Hey, If It's Good Enough For Oklahoma. . .

. . .I guess it's good enough for Georgia.

House Bill 45, introduced by Rep. Mike Jacobs, R-Atlanta, states “it shall be the public policy of this state to protect its citizens from the application of foreign laws when the application … will result in the violation of a right guaranteed by the Constitution of this state or of the United States.” The bill also would prevent arbitrators or tribunals from enforcing a foreign law that didn’t meet constitutional standards.

But foreign laws that do meet Constitutional standards could still be enforced?

Jacobs, a lawyer and vice chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, told the Fulton County Daily Report the bill would “ban the use of Sharia law in state courts.” He acknowledged that he was not aware of any instances in Georgia where a plaintiff or defendant asked the court to apply Sharia law but believes it has happened elsewhere.

Wasn't there a time when believing something that is demonstrably false disqualified a person from holding public office?

“We’re seeing more of a feeling that Sharia law should be applied in domestic cases,” he said, such as divorces

Form where? From where are you seeing this feeling? Honestly, if you think you can see a feeling, you might be tripping pretty hard. Can you taste music? Can you hear colors? How many fingers am I holding up?

The chairman of the House Judiciary panel, Rep. Wendell Willard, R-Sandy Springs, has signed on as a sponsor but hedged when asked whether he supports the bill.

Sponsoring the bill without actually supporting it? Now THAT'S a politician! You might want to take notes, kids, this is how it's done!

Hey, Mississippi, do you know why no one respects you?

It's 'cause of shit like this:
