Mitt Romney's children were mocked by actor Nathan Lane in remarks he made to Vice President Joe Biden as he introduced Biden at a campaign fundraiser today in Bridgehampton, New York.
The East Hampton Press reported:
Nathan Lane opened the event with comedic jabs at Republicans, namely Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and also a few directed at Mr. Biden...
He mentioned that actress Edie Falco, a co-host, couldn’t be at the fundraiser with him because she was filming “Nurse Jackie,” a Showtime series. “I love Nurse Jackie,” he said. “She can’t get through the day without Vicodin, Adderall, Percocet, Xanax and Oxycodone—which, oddly enough, also happens to be the names of Mitt Romney’s five children,” he said.
The audience laughed...
The Obama campaign has conducted the most personal and dirty campaign in recent memory. This is just one more step in the gutter of personal attacks on the Romney family by the Obama campaign and its surrogates.
Four years ago Obama said the children of the candidates should be off limits. That was when he was pretending to walk the high road.
All hell would break loose if we involved Sasha and Malia.
yes but the won and the wookie can use their spawn for political events and then complain when commnts are made about the privacy of said spawn. i bet if you pull their skin off there is a lizard body underneath (annd neither are as hot as diana in the original V)
This line is especially appropriate and punny:
We've got no class. We've got no principals!
Well then, tit for tat:
“Regression towards mediocrity”
There, I said it, it’s not Bush’s fault.
I just have to say this. I’ve been here since 1996 and written quite a few limericks, 2 limerick books, A CHILD’S EYE VIEW OF JOHN KERRY, Hitler rants, YouTube parody songs, and other stuff that some here have found at least somewhat mildly amusing.
Yes, I do know his full name. The use of Williard for Romney is the most creative, clever, funny, and brilliant humor I have seen on FR in a very, very long time. It get funnier every time I see it and will never get old. Kudos.
Freepers who don’t know, Nathan Lane who has stage talent (or did), was in The Birdcage with Robin Williams... and is a homosexual. Didn’t really have to act the part in the movie. Should stick to the stage and give up the trendy “non comedy” . One more example why liberals have to dose up each day to live with the delusions they maintain.
Did you see the YT video in post #2 below the article??? LOL. It’d get yanked if posted here...
"I don’t get it. For comedy to work, there has to be a grain of truth somewhere. The Romneys have no history of drug use, and their names are not unusual, except Tagg. The others are Ben, Josh, Matt, and Craig, btw. (I looked it up.) The stupid joke doesn’t make sense at any level.":
I don't "get it". As Mormons, I doubt they even drink coffee. Maybe the groupthinking liberal audience laughed because they all didn't want anyone to think they didn't get the joke, either.
YAWN
Willard and his goons had no problem mocking Sarahs children in 2008
Maybe a little taste of what its like might be necessary to make him treat others better...
Willard and his goons mocked the names of Sarahs children inj 2008...
However Willards own 5 boys have strange names...
Its just a SLN type of routine...
The Rat Party is infested with human debris.
Nathan eats poop.
I don’t listen to people that eat poop but people that eat poop do.
Well - we all know what Nathan Lane can’t get through the day without. I’m surprised they could get off one long enough to do the show.
The Obama campaign is going after the clueless and classless pop culture population.
We'll see in November if those morons outnumber the rest of us who still have some sense of values and a respect for common decency even with opponents.
Sure would, you racist! (/s)
That “joke” didn’t even make any sense.
I (along with some other FReepers) personally admonished a poster on this very site for making fun of Sasha and Malia’s names. I predict approximately 0 liberals will admonish Nathan Lane.
That kind of liberal mean, “coolness” worked to a degree last election because Bush had become unpopular with the masses. However, it is now 0bama whose policies are hurting people. Liberal “coolness” just seems petty and bitter now. I don’t think this kind of stuff will help the left at all.
Let them wallow in their own shit.
Gee, these guys are all in their thirties and forties, not exactly “children”.
